Hot dogs getting attention



 Hot dogs are getting a lot of attention.


In Quebec, Lafleur sausage-making company is getting a boost from comedian Matthieu Dufour who is promoting steaming instead of grilling wieners.


The company hopes to make steaming popular not only in Montreal where about a third are steamed, but also across Canada.


And Oscar Mayer, the leading wiener producer in the United States, is introducing ones that have new interiors, such as cheese, jalapeno cheddar or chili cheese.


And at Roger’s Centre in Toronto, Maple Leaf Foods is famous for offering Schneider’s hot dogs for $1 during Blue Jays games.
