A recent discovery was made this past weekend in the Lyons/Lees household on the corner of Prospect and State Streets. Resident Danielle Lees discovered that her fiancé Ben Lyons will eat both chili in a bowl and hot dogs on a bun but the strangely picky twenty-two year old refuses the idea of chilidogs. “Where did this hatred of chilidogs come from” Lees wanted to know, “I’ve never seen such blatant refusal from another adult.” Lees was reminiscing about trying to persuade and then coerce the man into tasting the chilidog, to no avail. She questioned Lyons, “Is it trashy??” in reference to the chilidogs origins. Although Lyons stated that there is nothing wrong with the chilidog itself, that it is only a personal preference not to consume the greasy cylindrical meat topped with, in fact, more meat, Lees can’t help but wonder if there is something to the existence of the chilidog that she simply does not understand. Is there some kind of ‘gross factor’ that comes into play when the two foods are combined? Maybe we’ll never know.
If you have any information on the “Blight of the Chilidog” please write the editor.
