Charity events can be amazing. People love volunteering to work at the event, and friends & family love to go to the event and spending money on it knowing it's for a good cause. Such is the case of Salazón hotdog festival, a yearly fundraiser for an organization named Eat Better Wa'ik that generates food awareness and actions to reduce malnutrition through creative and inclusive education, economics, transformative agriculture, consumption and technology in Guatemala, and in the Central American region.
This year, 24 of the most recognized chefs from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica and Panamá came together in Catorce Grados for Salazón 2024!

The idea was to make anywhere from 80 to 120 hot dogs per chef with each one adding his/her personal touch by choosing their own bread, selection of sausage and toppings.
The stuff chefs come up with in the name of charity (and fun) are absolutely amazing. For starters, as a man of the grill, the folks in charge of making the food brought all sorts of open-fire contraptions such as this one:
You could smell those babies from a block away!
I grabbed a can of Chela Guevara red ale and turned my spectacles to high for increased HD vieweing.
It didn't take long before we were asking waitresses passing by "excuse me, can I have what he's having?"
I mean, look!
These are caramelized onions, bacon and dill garnish
And these right here had "mustard caviar" which are basically mustard seeds that have been soaked for a about a week:
Some folks got super creative even switched out the hot dog bread for pita bread:
We sat down and kept hydrated with delicious beer to support the cause! And also for culinary reasons. combining different ales, IPAs, stouts and lagers can really enhance the flavors, so we kept
ordering hot dog after hot dog after hot dog...
Man, it tastes good to help :)
Cooks were cooking, the bands were jamming and the whole event is still going on the entire weekend, but day 1 has but day one has been a huge success in my opinion.
How's YOUR weekend coming along?

Red ale comrade. We're about to kick off a revolution.
This is really looking so delicious and it is obviously that you really have a great weekend 😊
The things we do for charity, amirite?
Super enjoyable.
Man, those look delicious. I haven't eaten breakfast yet, and my stomach rumbled as soon as I saw the sandwiches. If that was available here, I would have invited a friend who was also a big eater, and we would have tried them all. Now I'm itching for a hot dog myself.
Totally premium hot dogs, not going to lie. There were 24 chefs, so 24 different, amazing styles to die for. We're probably going to do this every year.
Dr Burns is serious about burning things. LOL
"Dr. Burns" is one of the founders. Yeah, he's way into it, haha.
🔥
That's one of his brands, Dr. Burns. They sell it there. The whole thing with the BBQ, it's a play on words.
