Hot Dogs From Around the U.S.

Hot dogs are a staple of backyard BBQs and they’re no longer the one-size fits all that you may remember from your childhood. Available in regular lengths of six inches to foot-longs, they can be smothered in any condiment imaginable. The only unvarying constant is that hot dogs come in packs of 10 and hot dog buns remain an eight-pack.

While there are dozens of hot dog brands, some are more popular in certain regions of the U.S. and even the choice of condiments and buns can be a bone of contention among die-hard enthusiasts. The following words of authority on hot dogs come from the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council.

New York Dog

It’s topped with sautéed onions and tomato paste, sauerkraut, and spicy brown mustard, though all-beef franks are typically completed with sauerkraut, melted cheese and Thousand Island dressing.

Chicago Dog

A Chicago dog has chopped onion, pickle relish, yellow mustard, medium-hot pepper, tomato slices, and a dash of celery salt served on a poppy seed bun.

Coney Island Dog

A Michigan favorite, the hot dog is smothered in chili sauce, mustard and onion.

The Polish Boy can be a hot dog or kielbasa. It begins with the meat, followed by a layer of French fries, sweet BBQ sauce or hot sauce, and a layer of coleslaw.

Popular throughout the southwest it originated in Hermosillo, Mexico. It’s a bacon-wrapped hot dog topped with grilled onions, green peppers, relish, chopped tomatoes, mayonnaise, mustard, jalapeno salsa, shredded cheese, and pinto beans.

Rockie Dog

The foot-longs are topped with onions, grilled peppers and sauerkraut.

New Jersey Dog

An Italian hot dog rests in a pizza bread bun, topped with onions, peppers and deep-fried potatoes.

The hot dog is topped with chili, coleslaw and mustard on a steamed bun.

Hot Dogs for All

There’s a hot dog for everyone in the U.S., from the cream cheese covered dogs in Seattle to the coleslaw and Vidalia onion-topped dogs favored in the south. No matter what they’re topped with, they’ve been a hit since German immigrant, Charles Feltman, sold the first hot dog on Coney Island in the 1860s.

Labor Day Party Ideas

The Labor Day weekend is fast approaching and you probably have no idea what to do to celebrate. Remember, Labor Day should be all about food, family and fun, not necessarily in that order. If you plan on throwing a Labor Day party, we are all about getting you all the best and fun ideas for your party. Here is a list of our top 5 favorite party ideas for the long Labor Day weekend.

  1. Host a clambake

Nothing screams long Labor Day Weekend than a ton of seafood in the shade of a summer day. All you will need is your backyard and a shallow pit to do your clambake in. Additionally, you should visit the farmers market to get your fresh ingredients before your clambake. Ensure that you get loads of potatoes, clams, lobster, and some fresh seaweed to cover your clambake in. Some fresh corn is also a must for a rocking clambake Labor Day Party!

  1. Throw a pool party

Nothing beats spending the summer in a cooling pool all day, whilst sipping refreshing cocktails and hanging out with friends. A pool party is the ultimate way to end the summer holiday with a bang. And why not add some pizzazz to your pool party by renting any one of our waterslides for a splash like no other!

  1. Have a cook-out

Grilling some fresh corn on the cob, steaks and marinated chicken thighs sounds like the perfect plan for your Labor Day party. Why don’t you get some friends together and get the lads hanging out at the grill while the ladies prep the drinks to go with your grilled feast? A cook-out is a great way to host a Labor Day party as it will allow lots of banter during the food prep and it will carry on into the night as you sit down to enjoy your food and drinks.

  1. Host an outdoor movie night

Going out to the movies sounds like a plan, but why don’t you consider renting a movie and calling over a few friends? Make it a more authentic experience by hiring our food machines such as the Hot Dog Roller and the Popcorn Machine for bottomless snacks during your movie marathon. Furthermore, you can also hire our Snow Cone machine which comes with 60 servings of the cooling treat for a hot summer night.

  1. Dance the night away

Dancing the Labor Day weekend through is such a fun way to consider spending your holiday before the end of summer break. Plan a night of dancing out on the patio and let it spill over into the backyard. Do you know what will make it even more fun? Include one of our giant backyard pool slides to add to the fun. Be sure to have tons of water for hydration and a selection of snacks from our array of food vending machines for hire.

These cool Labor Day Party ideas should help you settle on a great party to remember for everyone. Furthermore, ensure that you visit our products page to see just how many different items we have for you to turn your ordinary party into a crowd-pleaser.

Host a Labor Day BBQ Right!

Ahhh the smell of food grilling and the excitement from the last of the fireworks, you know Labor Day is here once again. If you plan on hosting a barbeque this year, then we’ve got three excellent tips to make your event incredible. From the corn on the stick to a good dessert, South Florida Bounce has the answers to do it up right!

First tip: Be Prepared! Since we are knee deep into hurricane season in South Florida, be sure to have a weather app with notifications. Apps such as Accuweather help to keep you alert when there’s rough terrain ahead when it comes to rain or shine. Be sure to plan your party centered around things like the heat index and any other issues that could arise. We Floridians know and plan accordingly with an alternative to taking the fun outdoors. Don’t limit your fun, just be sure to prepare to host indoors if you get washed out. For instance, host a Wii tournament or some other contest that’s suitable for the indoor activity.

Next tip: Invite old friends and get re-acquainted. If there’s someone you haven’t had the time to see in a while, then ask them to join. Keeping friendships is important no matter who you are, and a BBQ is the ideal setting for sparking up some memories and conversation. Don’t wait until the other holidays when life’s events can get hectic. Besides, everyone loves a good backyard celebration.

Third tip: Include games, swimming, and waterslides. The difference between a good BBQ and a GREAT BBQ, is always the entertainment. In fact, we may be guessing a bit, but not too many people enjoy hearing from their kids “Mom, Dad, I’m bored.” Be sure to keep them occupied with more than the grown-up talk. Having the right mix of activities and people makes all the difference in the world when planning a BBQ.

Make the last big party of the summer, one your guests always remember. Don’t be alarmed with back to school plans or anything else. Just grab a tall cold drink, eat some char-broiled grub and stay happy. Afterall, it won’t be long now before you can start planning for the holiday parties.
