carrot dogs aka how to make your 4th of july crunchier — Crunchy Radish

Carrot dogs, anyone? I'm not going to be in the states for the Fourth but I'll have to try this at some point...
"I have a confession. I have a secret obsession with hot dogs. To be honest,
I cannot remember the last time I actually had a real one. I often imagine
the sensation of the snap when biting into a crispy juicy dog and piling it
high with relish, onions, celery salt - all sandwiched between a perfectly
griddled bun. I am all for living a balanced lifestyle and not feeling like
you are constantly missing out. However, once I start thinking about forced
meat loaded with sodium, nitrates, preservatives, and other not so
health-supportive ingredients, my hot dog eating fantasies usually
disappear. If you can find a butcher who uses high quality sustainable meat
or brands utilizing clean ingredients, then go live out your hot dog eating
dreams. If you are a die hard veghead, these carrot dogs will help make any
4th of July hot dog eating fantasies come true."
