As I write this, I’m super-excited that my wife is going to grill hamburgers for dinner. In this case, they’re plant-based, since my daughter is vegetarian and my stomach doesn’t deal well with large hunks of beef. I’m psyched, as my Midwestern upbringing made hamburgers a cornerstone of my diet, with the choice of hamburger or hot dog sometimes being my entire meal plan option. I’m not proud of it, and I still love both pseudo-sammiches, although not equally. If I can get a really good beef hot dog, I’m a frankfurter fan, but my heart belongs in Hamburg, leading to today’s chopped meat query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) once ate a four pound hamburger to win a t-shirt, and I still regret that decision, asking: Hamburger or Hot Dog?

Now I’ve got John Mellencamp’s “Hotdogs and Hamburgers” in my head. Good times!
Hamburgers.
toppings and sides notwithstanding, hamburgers seem to be more substantial than hot dogs. i’ll go with hamburgers even though i’m not much for red meat anymore (though i’d still pick a turkey, salmon or veggie burger over any hot dog or dog equivalent too)
