How about an Avo Dog?
I rely on Tom Hoffarth for all my sports-stadium food information, and he reports today on Dodger Stadium's newest concoction, the Avo Dog. A hot dog (in this case the foot-long Farmer John Dodger Dog) mixed with guacamole. Sounds tré intriguing, no?
Best thing about the guacamole add-on: It's free.
And if you don't want to make the trip to Chavez Ravine, you can make these yourself at home. In case you don't want to click over for the recipe, here it is:
Avo Dogs
Prep time: 15 minutes
Serves: 8 (or 2, if you're any kind of dog eater)
Ingredients: 8 Farmer John foot-long hot dogs
8 hot dog buns
2 medium ripe tomatoes, seeded, chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
2 large ripe Hass avocados, halved, pitted, peeled, chopped and mashed
2 limes, juiced
Salt, to taste
Instructions:
1. Grill hot dogs until lightly browned. Open hot dog buns and grill flat.
2. Mix avocados, diced tomatoes and lime juice in a small bowl.
3. On each hot dog bun spread desired condiments (ketchup, mustard, relish, mayo)
4. Place hot dogs on each dressed bun and top with avocado mixture. (Add grilled or raw onions if desired.) Sprinkle with a little salt. Serve.
Eat. Eat more. Seriously.

Thanks for the cross reference. I did make a batch of this guac up last night, but put it on turkey dogs (a bit healthier) and thought it was fantastic. I added some red onion when i remixed it for today's lunch and that added more zip. But of course, the dogs must be grilled. Unfortunately, the Dodgers are only doing it one night -- friday -- so keep the recipe on file.

I just think we need to see this picture of you eating hot dogs in as many places as possible.
