🌭How Iceland Got a Native NYer Obsessed with Hot Dogs

WARNING: XXX Food Porn 😏

What’s so special about a hot dog from a street vendor? For most Native New Yorkers traveling abroad: NOTHING.

Typically topped with ketchup, mustard, sauerkraut, or sweet cooked onions, hot dogs are a staple Big Apple🍎 🗽street food loved by residents and tourists alike.

🤪 And how you order your hot dog is your personality 🤪

Most American kids grow up eating hotdogs. Especially today, since all diets can be accomodated — vegetarian dogs, gluten-free dogs, and pork-free dogs make it accessible for all.

We, at the Purswani household, always kept them in the fridge. And my personal favorite was (is) cheese-filled hot dogs 🤤

Thanks, Mom!

But before my Iceland trip, I hadn’t eaten a hot dog in… oh I don’t know… maybe years? Not true, I recently made beenie weenies as a result of a comfort food craving. But a straight-up hot dog in a bun? No.

I hadn’t been on a proper solo vacation in years, either. Hot dogs and vacations were pretty much non-existent in my life.
