BUT... IT IS A FOOD
SWARMED IN CONTROVERSY.
BIG QUESTION---- IS IT
OKAY TO EAT ONE ..... WITH
KETCHUP OR WITHOUT?
K-E-T-K'S GARRETT
SANDERS JOINS US LIVE IN
THE NEWS UPDATE CENTER
WITH THE VERDICT.
GARRETT?
JENN, I WAS BORN AND
BRED HERE IN EAST TEXAS,
AND I CAN TELL YOU ONCE
AND FOR ALL, IT'S NOT
OKAY. BUT THERE ARE STILL
THOSE WHO DON'T SEE
WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL.
IT'S AN AMERICAN ICON.
THE HOT DOG. BUT THE
FACT YOU HAVE THE
FREEDOM TO EAT IT
ANYWAY YOU WANT, DOES
NOT MEAN YOU ARE DOING
IT RIGHT.
"who wants mustard on their
hot dog? who wants
ketchup?" "you should never
eat ketchup on a hot dog,
ketchup goes on a lima beans,
or on scrambled eggs, french
fries, but ketchup on a
hotdog." AN ISSUE THAT
TEARS AT THE VERY HEART
OF K-E-T-K SPORTS
REPORTER PHIL KUCHINSKY.
"you wouldn't put icing on a
hamburger and you wouldn't
put ketchup on a hot dog it's
too sweet, the taste
combination just doesn't
work, it's what you do for
little
kids. "if you put ketchup on a
hot dog then you can't be
over twelve years old." SO
WHAT MAKES MUSTARD SO
SUPERIOR? "well it's a nice
opposite to the smoothness of
the hot dogs it's nice and
sharp and it just sets off that
hot dog." "put some mustard
on that sucker" BUT THERE
ARE THOSE WHO FEEL THIS
DIVISIVE ISSUE HAS JUST
GONE TOO FAR. "they need
to be more open minded" BUT
SOME, SUCH AS KUCHINSKY,
WILL NEVER LET IT GO. "it's
a disgusting idea it's too
sweet I mean, you've come
over to my house we've had
cookouts, you're a mustard
guy, you don't put ketchup on
there do you? "no no" "I
didn't think so"
"hey Garrett the producer
wants to know ... What is
that!"
I'M ASHAMED. I'M SORRY
