Ready to hang 10

The water was a little chili, but I mustard up the courage to take the plunge.

Riding a gnarly wave

It was a morning of surfing wax, wetsuits, and wipe-outs, and I’m happy to add surfing to my list of new experiences while Hotdogging!

Surfs Up!

That’s the question that’s on everyone’s minds these days, as us Hotdoggers cruise across the Hot Dog Highways.   Would you take it to a local charity? Throw a big cookout in your local park and invite the whole town? Visit a nursing home?

WWGD - What Would Guadalupe Do?

To enter, you can “meat” up with the Wienermobile at one of our events (check the “Where We Are” tab at the top of this page), or you can enter online at http://www.kraftbrands.com/goodmoodmission/#/section/save/offer/hotdog.

To everyone: good moods, and good luck!

She thinks she has the winning idea!

One of the great joys of visiting a big city like L.A. is the wide variety of local events you get to check out – queso in point: The 8th Annual Grilled Cheese Invitational! This sizzling event attracts grilled cheese connoisseurs from across the country to delight in the never-ending pursuit of the perfect grilled cheese “sammich”.

The epicurean epitome of a grilled cheese!

On a sunny, brie-zy day in downtown Los Angeles dozens of chefs prepared their finest grilled cheeses for some incurdibly hungry attendees.

For a guy who spent much of his youth munching on grilled cheeses, this was more than just a gouda way to spend the day – it was the fulfillment of a childhood dream! Sunshine, sammiches, and smiles without having to spend a lot of cheddar – plenty of reasons to cheese it up!

The real winner at the GCI - the tastebuds!

While in the L.A. area, Guac’alupe and I have been having buns of fun spending time with the Feria tour. “La Feria del mercado y de la salud” is a campaign that visits different grocery stores to give out free samples and coupons of many different Kraft products (including delicious Oscar Mayer  hot dogs) to hungry shoppers.

Salud y Bienestar para toda la Familia!

 This tour also spices things up by blasting music, leading dances in the parking lot, and running raffles throughout the day! We’ve been having a blast bringing the Wienermobile along to these appearances, and we love seeing how happy we can make shoppers with tasty food, lively music, and great people! It doesn’t get better than this!

Lo mejor de lo mejor!

Guac’alupe and I are having a franktastic time traveling throughout the Southwest – most recently we got to stop in fabulous Las Vegas!

Hotdoggers in the bright light city!

Another new state, city, and bunderful visit!

Congrats to us, today was our day! From Phoenix to Las Vegas, it was quite a drive day. With brains in our head and shoes on our feet, we took a wayward route – ’twas really quite neat! We headed out of town, to the wide open air, driving through Joshua trees without worry or care!

We were on our way west, seeing great sights! Spreading miles of smiles ’til the Las Vegas lights. And did we succeed? Yes, yes indeed! We cruised down The Strip at a very safe speed.

So if you see us in Vegas, be sure to say hey - chat and get a whistle, before heading your own way!

We’ve been road trippin’ around the world with the Wienermobile, but do you know the best place to find red hot chile peppers? I’ll give it away – Las Cruces, New Mexico! Located just on the other side of the border with Mexico, what this town lacks in snow – hey oh does it make up for with delicious food!

Taste the Pain-fully good chiles!

One Hot Minute of joy!

While stopping at an Albertson’s grocery store in Las Vegas, we were visited by Vincent – a fan of hot rods and hot dogs! He pulled up his tricked-out ride next to our Lambor-wienie for a great photo-op:

Franks for coming to hang out with us!

. . . at the Petrified Forest National Park in AZ!

But then I realized it was just mother nature showing off! Check out some of the incredible sights of the “painted desert”!

RELSHME and the painted desert

 Covering over 200,000 acres, the Petrified Forest National Park provides miles of hiking trails, petrified trees, and breath-taking views.

Jumping for Joy in the Southwest!

The chance to see such wild and unique landscapes is exactly why I wanted to be a Hotdogger!
