Mitt Romney Relishes The 'Best Meat' In An Odd National Hot Dog Day Tribute

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) cooked up praise for his “favorite meat” as he celebrated National Hot Dog Day on Wednesday.

Romney, in a clip shared to his Twitter account, gave the salute as he walked with a ketchup-laden hot dog in hand while a hot dog-themed hat was perched on his head.

“Perhaps you also know that hot dog is my favorite meat, I love hot dogs, I love ’em in buns, I love ’em outside of buns, I love ’em with baked beans, I just like hot dogs. It’s the best meat there is, without question.” Romney declared.

“So to all of you, like me, who are celebrating National Hot Dog Day, congratulations to you, and may there be many, many more hot dogs served in our wonderful land.”

The Utah Republican has previously spoken of his love for frankfurters at the center of the “sandwich or not ” debate, putting hot dogs ahead of hamburgers during a “casual dinner” with supporters detailed by The Washington Examiner in 2018 .

Twitter users poked fun at Romney’s clip and questioned his choice of condiment, adding that his hot dog needed a “touch” of mustard .
