I'm originally from Wisco and hotdogs are picnic food for the kids.
Brats are better. Johnsonville only. And must be slow cooked in beer and onions before grilling. And use tongs not a fork otherwise you'll ruin it and make 'em too dry.
Do NOT use a hotdog bun. Must be a hoagie style bun or brat bun.
Topped with Frank's kraut and ground mustard only.
Serve with Point beer.
Enjoy your tailgating.
