While grilling favorites like chicken and burgers are often eaten year round, it seems dogs might only be a summer staple.
June 20/New York/Press Release -- With the good weather and first day of summer, it is safe to say that barbecue season is in full swing. However, while grilling favorites like chicken and burgers are often eaten year round, it seems dogs might only be a summer staple. According to recent Mintel research, almost a quarter (23%) of consumers only think of eating hot dogs during the grilling season.
"While hot dog brands enjoy healthy sales during the height of the summer grilling frenzy, they must do more to encourage consumption of hot dogs for a range of meal occasions, regardless of season,” notes John N. Frank, category manager, CPG food and drink. “Providing recipe ideas for hot dog dishes could help promote their use for a broader range of occasions.”
