Hypothetically speaking. If you’re heading to a bike meet and there was two options for food which would you prefer? Both are of reasonable quality served hot and made fresh?
Hotdogs
Or
Pizza

Food choice

- Start date
Depends. Is this hypothetical food being served free-of-charge by the organizer, or does the participant have to buy their own food?
I have a hot dog budget if buying my own food, but if the hypothetical motorcycle shop were to offer free pizza to riders who show up, then Imma vote pizza!
Meat lovers and thin crust with ranch dip, if you're asking...
Thank you in advance for the free food, whether it's pizza or hot dogs!

Ribs.
If I need a lot of pizza, costco pizzas are $13 per XL cooked or you can get them frozen. That closes the price gap between pizza and hotdogs to almost nothing.
Hotdogs are easier to have ready when needed as you steam a ton and grill quickly when needed. Pizza ends up in batches and cooling over time.
Fwiw, neither choice would draw me to an event but I would eat either if I was there. To draw me with food it needs to be more interesting.

I like pizza but there are too many options and you get “ I don’t like pepperoni, no small fish, no potato’s “
Hot dogs , you put a hundred in a bucket of water on a turkey burner and you have steamers , they can sit in the water for hours , any idiot can cook them. Topping can be what ever the end users wants .

Hard to beat their $1.50 hot dog / polish sausage including a drink. Probably the only place I'll order one.
I really miss their turkey pesto sandwiches.
Nothing is cheaper than Costco's hot dog deal. A dog and all the sugar water you want for $1.50 +tax. If you ask they will give you onions. Pizza and a pop are ~ triple the price.
Hot dogs are cheaper and require less prep. The meat is basically skinny bologna and can be eaten unheated, a cold dog. Slightly heated is a warm dog.
A friend's paranoid M-I-L washes them and boils them before cooking them on a fire pit. Most people boil or BBQ them. They can be microwaved or done on 120 volts with a power cord. Disconnect before eating. Leftovers can likely be frozen and re-cooked several times without any deterioration in quality since there was none to start with.
Prepping is almost a continuous system while pizza comes in 12 slice pulses and is slow unless there are large ovens involved. This can be a good thing if free food is a draw at a promo event. People may hang around a bit more to hear the gospel.
Pizza variants are complex, choice of toppings etc while dogs are DIY toppings
I don't know which is messier for the consumer.
We went to a ribfest and people were complaining about nowhere to sit and eat. Consider the number of hands you have when holding a slice and pop or a dog and pop with no tables.
If there is a table for DIY trimming of the dog it should be laid out logically.
1) Give them the dog
2) They trim it
3) They get the drink
If you give them the pop with the dog they run out of hands to do the trimming.

Excellent point. For the Burlington rib fest I usually put 2 racks of ribs and a split chicken on the smoker at noon. We walk down to the lake and have lunch (I prefer the chicken) - I usually find the ribs are not cooked to my liking as they have to really pump them out. I pick up sauce to bring back with to use on my ribs when I transfer them to the BBQ.
When we get home we open a nice bottle of wine and have a nice IPA and enjoy the evening.

Have you ever used one of those Apps that scan grocery products and let you know in a very simple way which contain harmful chemicals? A friend recommended "Yuka" to me last year, and since then I've given up sooooo many of my favourite grocery staples thanks to that stupid App

A couple of my friends worked part time at Maple Lodge Farms making ham. They both said they'd never eat ham again.

One of my projects was at Fearmans in Burlington and saw the entire process from them walking in getting gasses and their throats slit to pork chops and hot dogs. Meh - want to make a cake you need to break a few eggs.
Then again every fall I am elbows deep in a deer grabbing that wind pipe when field dressing - you get used to it. Part of life I guess

It was more because of which parts went into the ham than the actual process.

When I saw the product it was before casing and smoking it looked like runny porridge in a giant vat
Maple Lodge Farms are chicken specialists and do not produce any pig / hog products . If your friends made ham in there , you'd best not eat it.
, Maple Lodge is owned by friends of my parents and I've been through the Ontario facility a few times , if your delicate, you wont eat chicken after that either.

They never had a Toronto factory in the early 90's? I distinctly remember it was Maple something or other, not Schneiders.
