Chaud Dogs (High-End Hot Dogs)
I was at my sister's house, and her daughter wanted hot dogs, so we got some, and lots of trimmings. Well, hot dogs don't have the best reputation for quality, despite being sold at Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, but I thought it would be possible to make them out of top ingredients to make a premium hot dog. And to let everyone know in the name that it's a premium quality hot dog, I thought a good brand name might be "Chaud Dogs". You see, 'chaud' is French for 'hot', and so the name would be pronounced "Show Dogs", but it would mean "Hot Dogs". Plus, adding French into any American expression generally makes it sound more upper-eschelon, hoity-toity and snobbish. So you know it will be the show dog of hot dogs!
