Burger King's next conquest: Hot dog king
[...] Burger King says its ability to flame-grill meat makes hot dogs a natural fit on its menu.
With the launch, Burger King says it will offer hot dogs at all 7,100 of its U.S. restaurants — more U.S. locations than any other chain.
The move comes as Burger King works to push up sales amid intensifying competition, with McDonald's offering breakfast items all day to spark a turnaround, while Wendy's offers a "4 for $4" deal to get customers in the door.
To get workers excited, Burger King says it enlisted Snoop Dogg and Charo to star in training videos for making the hot dogs.
The company says they're internal videos, but allowed reporters to record them on their phones, meaning they're likely for marketing purposes.
