Knowing the Oscar's are just around the corner, I wanted to do an Oscar-themed post. But what to do? Plenty has been posted already in the food-blogosphere in terms of Oscar-themed menus, movie themed cookies and Oscar cocktails (or is that Oscartails?). It's Hollywoods biggest night, and with plenty of glamour goes plenty of good food. But I wanted to do something different.
What was I to do?
Well, to give you an idea of my thought process for the post, take a look at this flow chart:
Let me present: The Oscar Dogs - a different themed hot dog for each film nominated for best picture - there are nine in all! Take a look, then in the comments below VOTE for which "dog" you want to win the Oscar Dog!
1. The Descendants: "The Hawaii Dog"
