Americans Are Divided Over The 'Right' Way To Load A Hot Dog

One camp swears the toppings go under the dog, and they might be onto something.

It sounds like a joke until you're standing over a paper plate arguing about it at a cookout. Toppings on top, or toppings underneath?

The under-the-dog crowd has physics on their side. Line the bun with mustard, onions, and relish first, drop the dog on top, and nothing slides off with every bite.

The twist is what it does to flavor. With the dog on the outside, your tongue hits the sausage first, then the toppings, instead of a face full of condiments.

Build your next one bottom-up and see if you ever go back. Then send this to the one relative who will absolutely fight you on it.
