Well, it’s one of us, the guys and gals who drive the Wienermobile, criss-crossing the country, looking for bridges that are high enough to drive under so we don’t get stuck . We thought it was only fair that you get to see the inside of the Wienermobile – including the people driving it. So, that’s why we created this blog. We hope you enjoy reading our stories and experiencing what being a Hotdogger is all about. We appreciate every wave we receive on the road and are thrilled you’re reading and commenting here.
We’ll try to respond if we can… (after all, there’s a lot of ground to cover). – The Hotdoggers
Delaware…also known as America’s “First State” is full of great things to do. While in the state’s capital of Dover we stopped by the Boys & Girls club. The kids were so happy to see the Wienermobile they could hardly contain their excitement. After tours, games and Wiener Whistles all the kids posed for a group picture. Say….”HOT DOG!!!”
The FRANKtastic kids of the Boys and Girls Club
In previous posts we’ve discovered that trolls, dinosaurs, Boyscout bears, and dragons eat hot dogs. After meeting this Gecko at the North Carolina state fair, its safe to say that Gecko’s DO eat hot dogs.
A Gecko’s favorite hot dog topping? Green relish, of course!
It doesn’t matter if the Wienermobile in the warmest or coldest weather, in the north or south. When it comes to creating smiles, the Wienermobile spreads miles of smiles. Here I am with the Wienermobile at the Boys and Girls Club in Alamo, Texas in the valley. We had a great time. The kids got tours, Wiener Whistles and fun facts about the Wienermobile.
It’s not easy keeping in touch with other Hotdoggers. The bonds of friendship that adhere us are strong and steadfast, but living in different regions and time zones makes ketchin’ up tricky. Today, Atta-Dog Adam and I found an unconventional way of spending time together in spite of the sizeable distance between us.
Though separated by over a thousand miles, Atta-Dog Adam and I were faced with a similar dilemma. Equally excited about watching the Mizzou vs. Texas football game on Saturday evening, we were equally crushed when we discovered that the west coast wasn’t broadcasting the game in either Santa Barbara, California or Yakima, Washington (our respective locations).
But when there’s a will, there’s a way! Being the resourceful individuals that we are, we found a way to watch the game online. Furthermore, we found a way to watch it together! Even better!
Atta-Dog and I video chatted online while simultaneously watching our college teams duke it out. Here’s a screen shot of the two of us, wearing our school colors in the privacy of our different hotel rooms. What a fun way to ketchup with friends! Even when they’re far away.

Occasions like this just prove that distance can’t come between the most franktastic of friends. Secondly, Missouri and Texas should be proud to have such devoted alumni representing their alma mater in such remote, far away locations.
Look at what was lurking in the parking lot of Miller and Son’s in Verona, Wisconsin… It’s the Sharkmobile! The creator made the Sharkmobile because he wanted to uniquely cover his van’s front mounted spare tire.
We met some special friends while traveling through Western Washington. Members of Reach Youth Ministry, an evangelistic traveling retreat organization, visited our fun bun, walking up with smiles plastered across their faces before they even saw A-Dog or myself. We felt like we could hear the jingle coming from their mouths from miles away!
The joy that Joan, Alan, Kelly, Eli, Jordan, Kileen, and Martha spread to everyone in the area was contagious!
These young adults travel the great Northwest for ten months at a time spreading the main message of their organization, just as we travel our hot dog highways creating miles of smiles! It’s always a great feeling to interact with other folks who understand our love for traveling. Franks for visiting!
In Florida we got to show YUMMY off at the Lakeland Car Show. There were Mustangs, Corvettes, and Bentleys, but nothing stands out like a 27 ft hotdog on wheels. Plus, they might be fast, but we really haul buns!

People visit the Big Texan to try and eat the 72 oz. steak. Others, like me, go to watch the brave ones eat the stake and have some fun. After having a delicious dinner, I proceed to take pictures of the restaurant. Here is one of the fun ones. Can you find me in this picture?

Typically, one would think that most people dress their dogs with condiments and toppings. On the contrary, many people literally dress their dogs in sweater vests, Snuggies and even elaborate costumes. Check out this snazzy little chihuahua I spotted in Seattle!
Hot dog! It's a doggone pirate!
This silly dog gave me a great idea for my own Halloweenie costume…
