BBQ peta2 veggie dogs cookout austin fourth of july hot dogs
Leave it to the remarkably unique city of Austin to host a massive veggie dog eating contest deep in the heart of Texas. This is the same legendary town that boasts a team of vegan firefighters, student groups that table dressed as zombies, and even hosted a peta2 Take Action Conference.
I guess it shouldn't be surprising then that in this oasis of veganism, nearly 300 locals showed up to chow down on LightLife Tofu Pups and vegan ice cream from a local company called NadaMoo!
This year's winner? Spencer "Tree" Lockwood, who proudly consumed 21 veggie dogs!
Pictures taken by Ann Harkness
So to celebrate this tremendous accomplishment, and in recognition of the 4th of July, how about a contest??
Comment below with your favorite veggie dog toppings. The person with the most delicious-sounding toppings will earn a limited edition t-shirt from the contest.
- Ryan!
P.S. - This contest ends July 18, 2008 and the winner will be chosen and notified by July 25, 2008!

Posted by: hallie at July 4, 2008 2:23 PMI always have veggie hotdogs with ketchup, bbq sauce, onions, tomatos, and a huge pickle on the side!
I made a shirt that says weiner free, the funny thing is I'm also a lesbian, ahahaha.
I eat mine with ketchup, mustard, and onions.
I keep it very simple. xD
What I always do with my veggie dogs is this ... some vegan chilli with vegan cheese and fresh peanuts (believe it or not tastes awesome!)
Posted by: Daiannie Vera at July 4, 2008 2:50 PMThe BEST is a couple strips of crispy tempeh bacon, a few dollops of BBQ sauce and some melty shredded vegan cheese!
Mmmm, Vegan Western dog for the win!

Posted by: Holly Atterson at July 4, 2008 4:01 PMI top my veggie dogs with the classics: ketchup, mustard, and pickles. I'm always amazed at how good veggie dogs taste!
Posted by: Lena at July 4, 2008 4:58 PMSee, what I'd REALLY love on a veggie hotdog would be pickles, ketchup, vegan cheese, fried onions and vegan mayonnaise. I can't have it, though, because living where I do (in the UK) I only have access to one really lame type of vegan cheese and absolutely no vegan mayo. I think I deserve a shirt because of these hardships. ;)

Vegan nacho cheese sauce(homemade of course!)
finely chopped carmelized onions

Veggie dogs...Hmm
:] Toasted bun, fer shure, some melted vegan cheese, chopped onion, spicy tofu sauce, and some jalapeno chips [either on the side or hell, stack em up on that veggie dog].
I eat them plain or with a crap load of toppings :) Hot sauce (whether it be the Vietnamese kind or American) is great.. Other combinations include the typical NY (I'm from there) dog with mustard and steamed onions. Chicago style is great too, with all the numerous toppings. I love using tater tots and other potato toppings (try mashed potatoes!) with crushed veggie bacon strips :) Oh man I'm getting REALLY hungry..
Posted by: Lisa at July 8, 2008 4:43 PMPico de gallo and minced chipotle peppers with fresh cilantro.
That's a dawg!

Posted by: lori at July 9, 2008 4:10 PMI would make my veggie dog with the following condiments. The bun would be grilled to perfection along with the dog. I would then add sweet onion, boars head mustard, sweet or dill relish, possibly some sauerkraut with a crunchy pickle on the side. The possibilities are endless but you should start with a quality veggie dog!

mine would have to be on a nice, fresh, whole wheat bun with the veggie dog barbecued to perfection. i would put green peppers [because i love them], cucumbers, lettuce, sweet and sour sauce, ketchup, and some plain ruffle chips on my veggie dog. have you ever actually eaten veggie burgers, or veggie dogs with chips on them? yummy. oh, and i can't forget a nice pickle on the side. perfecto.
