Fight for your right to bacon dogs with jalapeno! I've never gotten sick - maybe salmonella just tastes really, really good to me.

Theyre only really good after youve been drinking heavily. I tried to eat one sober and it just wasnt the same. I've also had one thrown at me.....

well i had one this weekend so i guess i should go turn myself in.

They're illegal because they're so damn good! Especially at 2am when you stumble out of a club.

I got mildly sick from bacon dog I had once. Guess what? I didn't go back to that bacon dog stand.

I agree with G Pro, unless you're drunk they are pretty bland anyways. The taste does not live up to the smell.

Oh no, what if the police do a sting operation - dressing up policewomen as bacon-wrapped hotdogs with jalapenos? My face would be splashed all over the news as I am led away in shame.

Good bless bacon wrapped hot dogs. Give me a petition to sign

iiii loooove hot dogs w/bacon.. i was introduced to them in downtown LA in 2001... i live about 1hr away and drive to the "garmet district" just to buy a hot dog!!! extra onion and bell peppers please!.. i usually eat them about 4 times a year.. so I've probably ate about 20 of them and have never gotten sick.. I think once I ate 2 in one night.. lol.. i've tried to make them at home.. but it's not the same.. and I agree w/fredcamino... the taste does not live up to the smell.. but I'll still have one!.. or 2!
