The Dog Days Of Summer 2025 - Week Number Six @: Alwan and Sons Meat Co.

by MBIP


We’re up to week number six of this doggone tour and this week we’re having a rare, Two-Fer Tuesday!

The first stop is Alwan and Sons Meat Co. Hot diggity dog, let’s roll on over there!

Here we are at Alwan and Sons Meat Co. and the grill is open! Perfecto!

As you can see, there’s quite a line, but it does move quickly. There’s the menu and it features a Jumbo Hot Dog!

As I said, it moves quickly and within about three minutes, these three were serving me up the first hot dog of this week and they also posed for a photo. Nice!

I made a quick stop at the condiment table and then found a spot to sit at and enjoy the first hot dog of this sunny afternoon.

There it is, topped off with freshly chopped onions and mustard! It’s time for a man bites dog moment!

This was a tasty, all-beef hot dog and it was grilled to perfection!

Now, on to part II of this dog day afternoon!

They sell hot dogs in and out of Alwan and Sons, so I stepped in and got a single wiener and a couple other items to take back to the MBIP World Headquarters Kitchen Area.

The MBIP World Headquarters Kitchen Area

Here we are back at The MBIP World Headquarters Kitchen Area, for part two of this hot dog Two-Fer Tuesday lunch!

I cut the single wiener in half and began frying it up in this skillet with melted butter.

Next I placed the buttered hot dog bun under the broiler to get it nice and toasty!

i found a jar of Mister Mustard at Alwans, I haven’t seen this mustard in a while. And it’s Hot mustard, not Mean mustard!

Here’s the fried hot dog on the bun, it was a little difficult to put together and while it somewhat looks like a sloppy mess…well, that’s kind of what it is!

But it is a tasty, sloppy mess!

The fried hot dog was loaded with flavor, the bun was a freshly toasted and buttered delight and the Hot Mr. Mustard was the perfect condiment!

What a delicious Two-Fer Hot Dog Tuesday!

Hot Dog Rating

i decided just to review the griled hot dog from Alwan & Sons because I would’ve been prejudiced in rating my own creation!

I’ll give this week’s hot dog, a nice rating of 2.8 wiener dogs. And just so we’re clear on the rating scale, anything over a 2.0 rating is a good rating, since this is just a 4.0 rating scale.

This was a delicious grilled hot dog and if you’ve never been to the Alwan and Sons afternoon grill, stop by for a grilled treat between 11am to 1pm!
