Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs Are Now Available Pre-Packaged

Yup. These are for real. Hoffy Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs make it even easier to eat a fat on fat product: you no longer have to buy the bacon separately! OC Weekly calls Hoffy's target market people who are "too lazy to wrap bacon around hot dogs themselves." Here's the brand's description of the dogs:

It's official! Now your family can enjoy the irresistible taste of our premium Hoffy Bacon wrapped around a premium Hoffy Frank. Doubly delicious and made with our uncompromising commitment to quality, these Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs are ready to grill, fry or bake. It's the new official taste of L.A.

Bacon wrapped hot dogs are a popular street food out west and indeed are the official hot dog of the City of Angels. The blogger Foodie Fantasia got her hands on some Hoffy franks and was pleased with the results. She admits, "I know it probably seemed like common sense, but I still had to follow the directions for cooking on the back of the package, which are written pretty precisely and specifically so as not to unravel the bacon wrapped around the franks." She found the franks to be "quite delicious" but also salty and greasy.

the only way to deal with this news is to deep fry the dogs, slather them in cheese, then sandwich them between two glazed donuts

I will wrap my own.. use good quality hot dogs and bacon to do it.. then deep fry it and slather it with some Kimchi and viola! You have a David Chang Momofuku Dog... Never heard of Hoffy, but it sounds like something David Hasselhoff would make up, so you can eat this hot dog drunk on the floor.

I wonder if Cedars-Sinai would consider a transplant for someone who eats this cr@p.

if you are this lazy you need a minor heart attack.

i am all for the idea. i make a macaroni-potato salad with bacon bits and bacon grease in it so how can i not, but being so lazy as to be unable to wrap your own dogs...

I will say this, if you get them, and you eat more than one at a sitting, you'll ever do that again. But hell yeah, one is awesome...

nothing better than stumbling out of your favorite pub three sheets to the wind and indulging in that most epic of pairings from a questionable street vendor.... well, maybe second most epic next to peanut butter and chocolate.... but peanut butter and chocolate will never be a hangover buster like a properly grilled bacon dog.... extra onions....

Each serving provides 250% of the US Recommended Daily Allowance of nitrates and 400% of sodium.

Bleh.

This statement is completely untrue. I would expect more from a moderator. Right on the package it says the sodium is 680mg or 28% of the recommended daily allowance. Also, this product contains no nitrates.

'Twas a joke, love. Hyperbole for humor's sake. Relax.

I would prefer to get nitrate-free uncured hot dogs and bacon and make my own.

Because America isn't fat enough already. Disgusting.
