If I had a photo, I would most certainly use it. That is... unless the photo I have sucks. For now, you'll just have to picture a big heaping helping of

Double Ballpark Hotdogs
4 Servings - I have a very definite idea on what a good dog should be - and this is it. By the way, life is too short to eat single dogs on a bun...
1-14 ounce can chili - beans...no beans, meat...no meat - you decide
Hot sauce
4 big sandwich rolls or big hot dog buns or whatever
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Directions
Boil dogs in a pot of water 5-7 minutes or until they start to ’plump’
While they cook, saute red onion in oil until it softens really well - then add bacon and allow bacon to crisp slightly - remove to a bowl
Heat chili - in a pot or in the crow, it’s up to you
Remove dogs from pot and slice lengthwise down the center, but not all the way through - leave a little hinge
In the same pan you used for the bacon, sear the dogs on both "open sides" until juicy, glistening and starting to brown
Heat broiler and brown buns just slightly
Build it like this - place 2 seared dogs on a bun, top with chili, top with onion & bacon, top with hot sauce then a final topping with the cheddar and stick under the broiler until melty
