I'm sure you've heard of the $6.00 Burger, or the $5.00 Footlong, but what about the Washington Redskins $4.00 Hotdog?
The Redskins training camp has concession stands for the thousands of fans that come to each practice. Their menu, ummm...well, is eclectic.
This caught my attention because I went shopping the night before and bought some fresh bratwurst (5 to be exact), for $4.00. Planning to boil them in beer for about 15 minutes, then brown them on the grill with onions, peppers, and all that other stuff. I know for a fact my $4.00 weiners are bigger and better than Snyder's $4.00 weiner. But, I could not just assume...so I tried one. My palate found the following:
Charred and smokey aromas are inviting to the nose, and similar pork, beef, and chicken flavors are enjoyed on the palate. It’s just a touch hot upfront, causing a slight sting, but mellows out, with the mustard, and ketchup flavors dominating. The tannins are medium, acidity is mild to medium. Because of the slight hotness (from 98 degrees), it is a little overbearing on its own, but when paired with a Coors Light, the processed meat is pushed to the background and the hot dog is quite enjoyable. Try it with beer, Doritos, french fries, or onion rings. At around 4 bucks, it is a decent value when there aint much else to choose.

- 1 Gallon of Regular Unleaded Gas
- 1 Pack of cigarettes
- 2 40 ounce bottles of Malt Liqour
- 1 6 pack of Charmin toilet paper
- 1 Frozen pizza
- 1 Starbucks Venti Caramel Mochiato
So, there's a little review of the $4.00 Redskin hotdog. Not too shabby, especially in these trying times.
I'll do a review of the food, beer, and liquor selections in the coming weeks when I'm at FedEx Field.
Cheers!
