Hot dogs can vary from brand to brand but traditionally have a common taste profile, which is something the new Nathan's Famous Hot & Spicy Beef Franks have been developed to help change. The hotdogs come in packs of eight servings and are crafted with no by-products, no artificial flavors or colors and no corn syrup to give them a free-from recipe. The hotdogs are made with a premium beef recipe alongside a blend of spices that give them a hot and spicy taste perfect for elevating the humble barbecue staple into a showstopper.
Brand Manager for Nathan's Famous at Smithfield Foods Annabell Gladfelter spoke on the Nathan's Famous Hot & Spicy Beef Franks saying, "Rich flavors have always been at the heart of Nathan’s Famous. With [the] Hot & Spicy Beef Franks, we’re giving our fans an exciting, new way to enjoy the signature taste they crave — with just the right amount of heat.”
