No One Is Immune To The Charm Of Bacon And Cheese

I’m at a semi-famous fast food chain that has “kosher-style dogs” on its menu, in a part of the US that’s rather notorious for its lack of religious diversity. The entire state has fewer than 6,000 Jews. Although “kosher-style” means it’s not certified kosher (and I don’t really care), I still get a good laugh out of this exchange.

Me: “Can I get a kosher dog, please?”

Cashier: “Would you like cheese or bacon on it?”

I just about fall over laughing. Afterward, I text a Jewish friend about it.

Friend: “Correct answer: ‘both.'”
