Catchword for “knife and fork dog”
Catchword: knife and fork dog
Filed Under: , ,
Part of Speech: n.
Quotation: I ate a hot dog at every arena, and the best by far were in Montreal, where the bun is slit on the top and they lightly butter it. Also, in Dallas, they have something called the “knife and fork” dog, which is a hot dog smothered in chili, cheese and onions. And yes, you do have to eat it with a knife and fork.

Keep in mind that we're interested in terms that are not well-covered in mainstream dictionaries, or not covered at all. A mass of unexamined Google hits counts for nothing, but an early use of the term you've found in a book or periodical is very useful. A term does not have to be new to be recorded here, it merely needs to be worthy of more attention.
