Burger King’s Hot Dogs Are Surprisingly the Chain’s Best-Selling Item in Years
By Carlton Wilcoxson • March 14, 2016
Ever since Burger King’s hot dogs officially launched last month to the tune of harsh criticism, the beef frank has been selling like crazy. BK hot dogs are available in either classic style with chopped onions, relish, ketchup and mustard; or a chili cheese dog. It is one of the fast food chain’s most successful menu items in years. BK claims they are selling between 80 and 100 hot dogs per store every day, without the aid of marketing. Burger King, meanwhile, is not the only fast food chain treading into wiener territory. Checkers & Rally’s has ignited a flame war, pegging their own hot dogs against the bigger chain. In response to BK’s new menu offering, they announced that they would be offering their dogs for half the price (79 cents).
