Sonic has just added four new hot dogs to their menu, touting them as 100% pure beef and giving each of them a theme. Sonic already offers a Footlong Quarter Pound Coney and a Corn Dog, but these are different, because they’re all beef, baby. Introducing the new wieners:
All-American Dog

Sonic’s got some big shoes to fill, especially with the Chicago and New York Dogs. People from those cities take their traditional foods pretty seriously. However, I’m glad to see a major fast food joint stepping up and offering some different toppings that you’re not going to find at any of the other big players. I’m looking forward to trying these and seeing how they stack up.
