Burger King is looking for a new crown: Hot Dog King.<br />The Miami-based chain says it plans to put hot dogs on its menu nationally for the first time starting Feb. 23.<br />It may seem like a jarring addition for those who know the chain for its Whoppers.<br />But Burger King says its ability to flame-grill meat makes hot dogs a natural fit on its menu.<br />“This is probably the most obvious product launch ever,” said Alex Macedo, president of Burger King North America.<br />With the launch, Burger King says it will offer hot dogs at all 7,100 of its U.S. restaurants — more U.S. locations than any other chain.<br />Smaller chains that sell hot dogs include Dairy Queen and Sonic Drive-In.
