The newest craving I had that came on real strong was something I first learned about years ago (like when I was 16) when I worked at A&W Rootbeer or Restaurant (as ours was called A&W Family Restaurant). But first I want you to know it was not one of those new modern A&W restaurants. It was an old one. Women working the 'car hops', a fireplace in the center of the dining area, little league/softball/baseball pictures hung everywhere from their sponsorship. And we still made the Rootbeer syrup before linking it in with the CO2(soda machine for carbonation). Yeah, 'back in the day'.
A good friend of mine from high school was working there told me I needed to try one of his favorite hot-dog combinations. You melted American cheese on top of a hot-dog in a bun, then add chopped onion, pickles, ketchup, and mayo, then top it with coleslaw (the white coleslaw, not that ketchup or vinegar coleslaw). I thought he was crazy, but the flavor combination really surprised me. I loved it!
Slaw-dogs with cheese, onion, pickle, mayo, & ketchup. For some reason that struck me yesterday and I really wanted to have it, so I did. I bought the ingredients at the store (much cheaper) with a bag of Kettle Sour Cream and Onion potato chips. Kettle chips are the greatest, all flavors are good...Crispy, thick, and crunchy. And for dessert, I finished off with Caramel Caribou ice cream. Delicious.
You're probably wondering what's wrong with me and why I didn't eat BBQ? Why not make your own rules? July 4th can still be a day of celebration no matter what you eat or how you enjoy it (even if it's your birthday)!
