It appears Burger King is testing new Grilled Dogs out in Michigan and Maryland.

The new menu items were spotted by several readers, some of whom were kind enough to submit photos. Corn dogs are also being offered.

There are four varieties of hot dogs being tested: Classic, Rodeo, Chili Cheese, and A1-Ultimate.

The Classic comes topped with ketchup, mustard, relish, and chopped onions and is priced at $1.99.

The Rodeo features onion rings, a three-cheese blend, and BBQ sauce for $2.39.

The Chili Cheese includes chili and three-cheese blend and costs $2.39.

The A.1. Ultimate takes its cue from the burger of the same name and comes topped with bacon, three-cheese blend, and A.1. sauce. It's the most expensive of the bunch at $2.79.

The new Grilled Dogs sport a grill marks that suggest that they're cooked in the same broiler oven as Burger King's hamburger patties. They're also available in a combo that includes two hot dogs, fries, and a drink starting at $5.99.

The Corn Dogs are priced at $1.49.

Hot dogs are a dumb fast food item because they take like 3 minutes to make at your house

 

[Bad_Boy]

corn dog should be a dollar, but everything else looks legit.

 

[triplestation]

All look good I want

 

[Dysun]

A1 sauce on a hot dog, gross

 

[vas_a_morir]

I'm fungry for a hotdog for days now.

 

[way more]

A fast food thread?

I would never eat there. I make my own.

 

[Macho Madness]

Taking on Sonic and A&W I guess

 

[T0KY0ST0MP]

Makes sense for the Midwest I suppose, MI at least.

I don't want fast food. I want faster food.

 

[Log4Girlz]

I want to try Burger King's foot long.

 

[triplestation]

Mac wth lol

Accurate

 

[vwnut13]

Well, Burger King sucks at burgers, so they might as well try something else.

 

[Onaco]

Why not the ketchup, mustard, topped with cheese?

 

[PartlyCloudlike]

Corn dogs are amazing. They better fry to order because soggy corn dogs are a heinous crime. It will already be precooked, they just need to drop it in the fryer to reheat.

 

[Scarecrow]

Has there been a time where they've tested something but didn't bring it out nation wide?

 

[andrerobot]

No avocado, tomato and mayo?

Frozen pasta+sauce?

 

[Mushroomer25]

Rodeo & Chilli Cheese sound okay, but for some reason I'm weary of fast food sausage. I'm sure it's no lower quality than what I'm buying at a supermarket - but it weirds me out regardless.

Two dogs, fries, and drink for $6 is an alright deal, though...

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

No avocado, tomato and mayo?

this guy knows what's up

 

[odiin]

Huh? You can't put ketchup on hot dogs. It's physically impossible. The God of Taste won't allow it. It would be like combining socks with sandals, it just can't happen.

 

[Forerunner]

A1 on a hotdog doesn't sound right. I'd still try them though.

 

[The Silver]

those grill marks look like someone just used a black marker

 

[Langdon Alger]

I could go for a corn dog right about now.

 

[Icedburden]

My girlfriend tried the corn dog at BK the other day (MD) and said, "Well, it tastes like a corn dog." I guess that's a plus?

 

[EvilKatarn]

I've heard of something similar being done to burger patties in some places.
Fake char lines... just why

 

[SlickShoes]

A fast food thread?

By any chance is it frozen and in a bag?

Can you share your hotdog recipe with us plebs?

 

[Machine]

Good luck BK, you'll need it. Testing this in Michigan is pretty dumb considering how ubiquitous coneys are. Not many Michiganders are going to go for dogs with ketchup or cheese on them.

 

[PillarEN]

I don't know man. We have Coney Island in Michigan and I can't wait to have a coney dog this summer. Only thing I want from BK is their Hershey's cake.

 

[FleetingFlowAir]

I remember going to Burger King last Friday and noticing that they had Hot Dogs now. I asked when did they start having this and it was apparently a couple days ago. I didn't order any to try it out, though.

 

[SolidusDave]

I could go for that Rodeo one but only because I just recently learned to put extra onion rings on all the good BK burgers for awesomeness.

 

[Nathan_Drake]

Meh Corn Dogs seem to be the crappy oven baked ones. If it was a good battered deep fried fair style corn dog I would be in.

Speaking of... our local soccer club in Charleston, SC has deep fried corn dogs. In the Sticky Fingers stand that also has ribs! Add in the freshly made candied pecans and almonds and any American could find a reason to go to a soccer match. Even in the South!

Go Battery ha

But then you have to go to the store and buy all the ingredients. And then actually make them.

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

In a world that has brats, sausages, etc., why the fuck does anyone still eat hotdogs?

I don't know man. We have Coney Island in Michigan and I can't wait to have a coney dog this summer. Only thing I want from BK is their Hershey's cake.

Seriously what is the deal with Michiganers and Coneys? A) You have them fucking everywhere and B) They're terrible.

I feel like the whole population of the state of Michigan still lives in Michigan because they have no idea how much better life is almost everywhere else. Yes this is me being bitter about getting stuck in Michigan for the past year and a half.

 

[Shuggananas]

I don't know how americans can stand corn dogs, it seems it's only a thing there and it looks disgusting as fuck, ugh

 

[Frozenprince]

3 minutes? 45 seconds, tops. 30 to microwave, 15 to put shit on it.

 

[Camwi]

You should try one. They're delicious.

 

[MGrant]

Do it in a hot skillet/under a broiler like a decent human being. It's worth the extra couple minutes for the texture.

Spoiler

Mostly kidding.

 

[Wings 嫩翼翻せ]

Idk, we all say "I'll just make mine home" now but I feel like this could take off

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

You should try one. They're delicious.

I mean they're not, but it never hurts to try.

 

[KrellRell]

I want, I want it now.

 

[thesoapster]

Finally! Living in Maryland is paying off...

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Good luck BK, you'll need it. Testing this in Michigan is pretty dumb considering how ubiquitous coneys are. Not many Michiganders are going to go for dogs with ketchup or cheese on them.

Coneys are only somewhat popular in the Detroit area, and even then a plain dog with ketchup is just as common.

 

[Dali]

Not that I'd ever eat one of these but article fails to mention most important detail; Are they beef?

 

[bengraven]

If your name has something specific in the title, stick with that specific thing and make it better.

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

Try Flint, they're everywhere.

Scratch that. Don't try Flint, ever, there's no reason to.

 

[The Technomancer]

Oh are these new? I saw them at a Kansas City Buger King yesterday, figured they were a regional thing

I love Michigan but no longer live there. Detroit Red Wings is all I need... and I enjoy the weather. Warm summers, cold snowy winters, decent amount of music acts come by the Detroit area, Cedar Point is like 2 hours away. If I don't want to visit the shithole that the actual city of Detroit is I can shuffle over to Chicago in 4 and a half hours.. Only thing I heavily dislike is the need for cars. I mean it's no surprise but it sucks. Unless you are in Ann Arbor.

Coney Dogs are good.

 

[Machine]

Detroit, Flint, Jackson, Saginaw, Bay City, Midland, Lansing, Grand Rapids - coneys are more common than you seem to think, at least in the more densely populated areas of the state.
