It weighs only 4.62 oz, so it packs more calories into each ounce than the Cook Out Style dog does.

Is it a good protein buy?
Yes, by price. At $1.99 the dog gives 9.5 grams of protein per dollar, behind only the Mustard Relish dog's 11.1 and ahead of the Small burger's 4.7 and the Regular burger's 6.3. See the Regular burger guide for the burger math.
What does it compare with on the burger side?
A regular Cheddar Style burger has 561 calories and 30 grams of protein for $3.99, twice the dog's price. See the Cheddar Style burger guide.
Is the Bacon Cheddar dog worth $1.99?
Anyone after cheap protein and a rich bite. Pair it with a low-sodium side, since the dog alone uses 65% of a day's sodium.
