Putting the 'twist' on Hot Dogs and Sausage

At the end of last summer I remember seeing an incredible post about adding a spiral cut to hot dogs for an added twist. Earlier this morning while browsing one of my favorite food sites, Chef John reminded me what a great idea this was. But the question was when could I get away trying it with these picky eaters.

On the way home from the dentist tonight I mentioned to my daughters that I would be making a BBQ of Hot Dogs, Hamburgers and Wings (see Chirp and Turf) and they asked if they could have cold cereal instead. When I told them I would be making curly spiral hot dogs they were all for it.

See below as there was not a hot dog left once they came off the grill.
