The plain hot dog is the reference point for the entire hot dog menu. At 2.9 oz it has 260 calories, 15 grams of fat, 8 grams of protein and 600 mg of sodium, and it costs 99 cents. Every other dog at Cook Out is this one plus something, and the official nutrition guide lets you price each addition to the calorie.

What does everything else add to a plain dog?
| Hot dog | Calories added | Price added | Cents per added calorie |

| Cheese Dog | -114 | $0.00 | n/a |
| Mustard Relish | +134 | $0.00 | 0 |
| Cook Out Style | +123 | +$2.00 | 1.6 |
| Mexi | +125 | +$0.70 | 0.6 |

Mustard Relish costs nothing extra and adds the most free calories, while the Cook Out Style charges the most for the least. That makes the plain dog a useful baseline and a customizing option: you can add mustard, relish or chili at the window.
