Burger King is embarking on its biggest menu change in three decades since it added chicken in the mid-seventies as they roll out the old-fashion hotdog on their menu. This news comes in as a shocking decision and when Armando Arturo, our other food critic, gave me new on the decision by restaurant brands international I was taken by surprise and shaken for a few minutes.
I couldn't' believe that he beat me to the news and that Burger King would have the intrepidity to jump into the hot dog sales in America as other more established and independent chains seem to have this market cornered. The Whopper palace has selected February 23 is the start day for this fast-food franchise in delivering the hot dog and I am there right away. I think there may even be lines of people waiting for the unveiling of the Burger King hotdog as if it were a new Apple product. 
Snoop Dogg will be featured in commercials as the talented rapper/talker Snoop plays a Grilled Dogs Training Ambassador ready to teach Burger King employees how to serve them up hot, “live and direct from the BK.” Snoop's commercial will be another humbling of the low-wage slave worker in this industry and further evidence of the disregard the corporation masters have for their floor workers funneling money into the hands of a "entertainer' as while fighting vigorously against any rise in incomes of the fryers and burger flippers. A dude like Snoop Dogg who has no vocal talent is lucky not to in reality be one of these minimum wage fast-food workers and this is likely the gag that corporate industries and marketers are striving for in these ads. he idea that some guy who made millions from rap music should somehow be entitled to sell hot dogs and train fast-food workers is laughable to the advertising lords that throw out this garbage onto the television screens across this nation.
