Burger King is adding hot dogs to its menu. The new Grilled Dogs will be available as a permanent menu item at participating restaurants nationwide starting Feb. 23, according to a company press release. Grilled Dogs are made with 100 percent beef and flame-grilled.

"The introduction of Grilled Dogs just made sense to our guests and for our brand," said Alex Macedo, president, North America, for Burger King. "We're applying over 60 years of flame-grilling expertise with the Whopper sandwich to make Grilled Dogs the next great American icon."

Grilled Dogs are available in both the Classic Grilled Dog and the Chili Cheese Grilled Dog, the release stated. The Classic Grilled Dog is a flame-grilled hot dog made with 100 percent beef topped with ketchup, mustard, chopped onions and relish, served on a baked bun. The Chili Cheese Grilled Dog is the same beef hot dog topped with warm chili, shredded cheddar cheese and served on a baked bun. Both are sold separately or as a combo meal.

The Classic Grilled Dog comes at the recommended price of $1.99 or as a combo meal for the recommended price of $4.49, served with a small fountain drink and fries. The Chili Cheese Dog is sold at the recommended price of $2.29 and for the recommended price of $4.79 as part of a combo meal with a small fountain drink and fries.
