The other day I had the Food Network on mute while I was talking to my family on the computer. Out of the corner of my eye I saw someone making the most inspired thing I've seen in a while--a peanut butter and honey sandwich on a hot dog bun with a banana standing in for the hot dog. OMG! I announced what I was seeing, and Andrew looked at it and said "gross!" as my entire nucelar family oohed and ahed in approving agreement with me. Coming to my lunch plate this summer: peanut butter and honey banana dog.
The last time we went to Pearl Oyster Bar I realized that my favorite part of the lobster roll is the buttery hot dog bun. I think I realize this every time we go there and always forget. I could save myself some money by inventing a buttery-hot-dog-bun-based sandwich that does not involve lobster!
a banana/peanut butter/honey sandwich on a hotdog bun? That is truly inspired. Seriously, I wish I had a banana and a hotdog bun right now, cuz I'd be eating one.

I know, right? Where was this when we were children?

Hey Robin, I used to eat those banana dogs all the time when I was a kid. I usually used jam, syrup or mayo instead of honey, but the honey sounds great! Enjoy! Guess I'm a bun girl too. When served hot dogs, I always slipped the hot dog out and tossed it, leaving a delicious sandwich of chili, mustard, cheese and onions. I sometimes added potato chips which made a wonderful muffled crunch when you bit into the sandwich.
