SPAM has officially reached its hot dog phase. The brand is stepping outside the can this summer with the SPAM Dog, a hot dog-style spin on the salty, savory flavor people have been frying up in kitchens and backyards for generations. Oddly enough, the move makes a lot of sense. SPAM is one of those foods that doesn’t pretend to be fancy but still carries a fierce loyalty. Hormel came up with the SPAM Dog specifically for stadiums. It can be grilled, put on a spit, slapped on rollers, or any other way there is to cook a hot dog. Once cooked, you can finish it off with toppings ranging from mustard and ketchup to chili cheese and jalapeños. The rollout starts at select stadiums across the country, including locations in Hawaii, Minnesota, Michigan, and the Northeast. At this point, SPAM doesn’t really need to prove that it can survive in the world of comfort food.
