Slater’s 50/50 Releases Half Beef, Half Bacon Hotdogs

 

I was recently given an opportunity to try a new hot dog product and to share our taste testing with all of you.  All I can say to start with is:

Buckle up, bacon lovers, because you’re in for a treat! 

Slater’s 50/50, the brand best known for their gourmet burger restaurants founded in Southern California, has released a frank that is redefining the hotdog category. Slater’s 50/50 Beef & Bacon Hotdogs are 50 percent beef and 50 percent bacon, making for THE most flavorful premium hotdog on the market.

“Slater’s 50/50 restaurants are known for our over-the-top menu options and mouth-watering flavor combinations,” said Ernie Romo, Chief Operating Officer for Slater’s 50/50. “It was a natural move for us to develop an exciting new hotdog product extension of our gourmet restaurant experience, and we believe consumers will love being able to have them in the refrigerator at home!”

The hearty, quarter-pound franks are bursting with bacon flavor, without having to wrap a regular hotdog with bacon strips. They can easily stand alone on the grill or pair with your favorite toppings.

Slater’s 50/50 Beef and Bacon Hotdogs are currently distributed in select Kroger stores in Atlanta, Nashville, Louisville and Columbus, Ohio, Basha’s in Arizona and Smith’s Food & Drug stores in the American southwest as well as other retailers across the country. The product retails between $5.99-$6.99 per package.

Our opinion?  We loved them.  The casing had that great "snap" that you want when you bite into a hot dog.  They were LARGE hot dogs and the bacon flavor was amazing.  You could taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite. 

I'd go so far as to say I'd take a drive to Nashville or Atlanta to stock up the freezer with these. I'd love to try them on kebabs or cooked with cabbage for a different twist as a main dish meal.  

As always, I'm grateful for the opportunity to try new products and share with all of you.  Thanks Slater's 50/50!
