When Sharon and her fiancĂ© found themselves with a freezer full of hot dogs and buns at the end of last year’s cookout season, she observed, “when push comes to shove, everyone wants hamburgers.” In this USA Weekend challenge, I decided to see if I couldn’t improve the hot dogs’ odds at this year’s cookouts.

Try out the Hawaiian Hot Dog (pictured right) or the Reuben, BLT, or Guac and Salsa Hot Dogs at your Memorial Day festivities and see if these can go head-to-head with the best burgers.

Enjoy the long weekend!
