You know if I was to totally splurg and fall completely off this diet, it would not be for a Nathan's hot dog. A Vienna, a Best's Kosher or a Hebrew National could get me to jump off this diet, but not a Nathan's! Damn, now I am craving a good dog. I'm thinking a Vienna Polish on a poppyseed roll, mustard, relish, double onions, celery salt, sport peppers, and tomato slices. YUM.
Chicagoland has more hot dog stands than it has McDonald's. We have a couple great ones near my office. Arnie's Dog House "Where man bites dog" has some of the best, they steam cook Vienna brand dogs there. Great buns, they steam those lightly too.
BTW, the diet is going OK, I find I do cheat a little bit (not every day), and everything would taste better with salt. I'm not really sure how much weight I have lost, but I suspect it is about 12 pounds. I can tell you that my pants pretty much hang on me and I've tighted my belts 2 notches!
