Plano: Only Mustard Acceptable on Corn Dogs

|

Apparently FrontBurner isn’t alone in having a slow day following the action-packed Arts Center/Texas-OU/Komen Race/State Fair weekend. The Plano Star-Courier wants you to know that Plano city leaders definitively prefer mustard on their corn dogs.

I can tolerate the taste of mustard, but prefer not to have it in my mouth. So I’ve always been a ketchup man. Does that give me away as a non-native Texan?

It’s not what the article is really about, but Malcolm Gladwell’s ketchup piece from the New Yorker in 2004 establishes firmly why the tomato-based condiment (at least in the form perfected by Heinz)  is objectively superior to mustard.
