The summer is still sizzling and we’re just trying to take it all in.

The so-called “lazy days” of summer aren’t quite so lazy around here, and in fact feel more full than ever. Birthday parties, baby showers, and then, of course, soaking up as much sunshine, barbecues, and friends as we can in our free moments of what I like to call the in-between.

You guys, I’m feeling it. The days are long and full and I wouldn’t have them any other way… yet I’m also falling into bed each night with a happy heart and completely spent.

And the thing is? I’m totally okay with it. Yes, I’ve definitely been quieter around here, but I know all seasons ebb and flow and right now I’m in the season of summer and trying to soak in all the goodness I can from it!

During peak hot dog season, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, Americans typically consume 7 billion hot dogs. That’s 818 hot dogs consumed every second during that period.

With that said, hosting people is my jam and even when life get’s busy it’s fun to have some easy entertaining ideas on the back burner. As easy as hot dogs on the grill are, having a DIY toppings bar makes them such a great party pleaser.

Giving a nod to your favorite cities with flavors from around the US with an Americana Hot Dog Bar is just the icing (but still EASY to pull off!).

So today, I’m sharing a little secret about hosting a get together without putting so much pressure on yourself!

And to make it even easier, have your guests bring a pack of hot dogs and toppings for their favorite city-inspired dog for a more pot-luck style gathering! It’s a great way to get the conversation started as well… the WHY behind everyone’s choices.

Set it all out there for a DIY hot dog bar, grill up the “dogs” and you’re ready to go.

Memorial Day and July 4th are perfect days to celebrate with an Americana Hot Dog bar… but any summer day can be a fun day to celebrate your fave USA cities! Or just pin this post to save for your next red, white and blue bash!
