"Whether it is debating if a hot dog is a sandwich, the best condiments or sharing great recipes, hot dogs have proven over and over to be the ultimate social media draw," said NHDSC President and Hot Dog Top Dog Eric Mittenthal. "Add in the creativity of the Food Renegades chefs, dietitians and food influencers and there was no doubt that TikTok fans would go wild for #WienerWednesday."
The Food Renegades' drool-worthy creations inspired hot dog fans to show their own creativity and develop their own hot dog videos featuring a unique beef hot dog recipe. The most viewed recipe, "Noodle Wienie Dogs" by @mrs_dee_penda, received more than 500,000 views and 116,000 likes. As the most popular video, Dee Penda wins $500 from the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council.
The popularity of hot dogs and #WienerWednesday not only drew millions of video views, but also led to substantial increases in followers for the Food Renegades over the course of the month. As a group, the ten Food Renegades added nearly 2.5 million followers in July.
