Nationals' Hot Dog Night lines swell after hot dog fries debut
The Washington Nationals introduced novelty "hot dog fries" at Hot Dog Night at Nationals Park, and concession lines stretched 30 to 45 minutes. Attendees said the long waits created bottlenecks at concession stands and restrooms, with some people missing innings while waiting for the new fries or a regular hot dog. The delays revealed staffing and queue-management gaps the Nationals will need to fix for future promotions to prevent service slowdowns and frustrated attendees.
The Washington Nationals bravely ask “What if your hot dog was actually fries?”
Sickos Committee39This is a special promotion for National Hot Dog Day. July 18th.
Mike Rose17The next step is to make one giant, hot dog-shaped french fry.
Timani Tunduwani9Hot dog fries???? I think things have really gone too far now. Also, I'll let y'all know how they taste
Stein 🔜 GO Fest Chicago4Literally texted a friend who is going to the Nats game... his response was to go "Already done" and snap a photo of him in the hat.
Specter177✈️4Willing to find out the answer.
Joe4Extreme would. How do we scale this for nationwide rollout?
calizaybak.bsky.social4They do not look editable. That wouldn't stop me but still should be noted.
JuiceMcGoose 🧃🪿3That's hot dog noodles. Spaglizzy
Jamie Kate3@andrewfleer.com are you planning on going
SteelyTom3Has @halleycomet3.bsky.social made a statement? 🌭
Nathaniel2The line is SO long right now. But I got my pigs in a blanket and also my hat.
Possible Cabbage 🟢2The way they curl (because they obviously would- they're meat, the proteins behave differently at different temperatures) is deeply unsettling.
scotthoots.bsky.social2Whoever doesn't want to try these has never smoked a bologna chub and then fried the slices. This would be really good and I might have to try some in the air fryer.
Matt R2Now I want one giant hot dog shaped fry served in a hot dog bun... But deep fried, not grilled of course
Kitty WH 🚺2We long thought hot dogs could not be less dignified, but the Washington Nationals yanked open a hole in the Earth and swallowed their remaining mirage of dignity.
Raven2Why don't they have a breading of some sort like chicken fries. Like the problem isn't their existance. It's that they didn't go far enough.
Pants 🩳2What if your fries are actually hot dogs?
Toronto Boris2Sweet Jesus... There is no shame left in the stadium food world.. Everything is fries now...
the line for the totally fine vegan hot dog was very reasonable. just saying
Roxy4I wonder how much longer the line was for the bathrooms since the hot dog fries were introduced
Engineeringdude4I like me a good chicago hot dog, and a good stadium dog, but vegan/veggie dogs have come such a long way I can say in some situations, they are just better
Wil Deny3Was it a gluten based, soy based, or one of the impossible pea protein ones? I'm partial to gluten, tbh, but I like all of them.
Things will get better.2Vegan hotdog technology is getting pretty solid.
Brosemite Sam2My main complaint with vegan menu options is that they try to advertise them as non-vegan names. No, that's not a vegan pizza. It's a very tasty vegetable flatbread with tomato sauce, but it's not pizza.
