Host a Gourmet Hot Dog Party!

​What’s the difference between an average host/hostess and a “Hostess With the Most-est?” Well, to earn the latter title, one must be prepared, creative and pleasantly relaxed while hosting. In other words, really great hosts and hostesses find ways to simplify the hosting routine so they can attend to their guests rather than slave away in the kitchen all day and get overwhelmed with the details.
 
One way to do this is to find creative ways for your guests to help themselves. When guests are able to help themselves, they are relaxed, they can serve themselves and pick their portion size, accommodate their own tastes and dietary needs, and save the host time on serving up food.
 
Traditionally, people often do this without even knowing it by setting up a hamburger station, buffet or potluck. But for the host or hostess looking for a more creative idea, why not try a Gourmet Hot Dog Bar?
 
Setting up a hot dog station is a fun way to let your guests serve themselves and free up more time for the host or hostess to enjoy their company. Setting up the hot dog bar is easy! Just raid your kitchen or local dollar store for condiments and toppings, buy a couple packs of Steakhouse Elite all-beef hot dogs (because, a good host knows the best, all-beef dogs makes guests happy!), and let your guests be the chef!
 
You can let your guests’ creativity flow, or you can opt to guide them with recipe cards for flavor combinations like these:
