Chili dogs (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

The chili dog is an object that appears in the AngieYaz/RoseOfSharon reboot of the Sonic Underground television series. It is a popular food product consumed on Mobius, which is made and sold by several parties. It is perhaps best known as the favorite food of Sonic the Hedgehog and his future queen Amy Rose.
==Description==
As the name suggests, the chili dog is a generic name for a hot dog served in a bun and topped with some sort of meat sauce and a spicy substance known as chili. Often other toppings are also added, such as cheese, onions, paprika powder, and mustard. The style has multiple regional variations in the United States (on Earth), many calling for specific and unique sauce ingredients, types of hot dogs, or types of buns and referred to regionally under region-specific names. Other types of chili dogs also exist. For example, Sonia likes to eat chili dogs with tofu, much to her brother Sonic's disgust. Steve Urkel, meanwhile, likes his with lots of cheese on them, while Mario prefers his with Kinokian mushrooms. Kirby prefers his chili dogs with chopped or minced Maxim Tomatoes on them. Skarlet prefers her chili dogs with blood on them, which creates a delicious (to her) flavor of "a bold finish of wild cherries with a hint of oak", much to Sonic's discomfort and Sonia's and Steve's disgust. Sonic's alternate dimension counterpart spent most of his time eating them, and not enough time running to burn away all the calories; as a result, he became obese and foul-tempered (except around his wife Amy and his adopted younger brother Tails).
Chili dogs can have the chili's taste enhanced with the condensed essence of the Fire Flower or the spice of the Super Spicy Curry for that extra piquant punch of flavor.
Chili dogs are also sold in a dehydrated, powder-like state. When water is added to this, it becomes a plate of chili dogs. Such chili dogs are made in an instant food factory which produce other foods in dehydrated powdered states.
==History==
===TV series===
====Past====
Chili dogs are a popular dish served in Mobotropolis; in addition, all over Mobius they are served in locations ranging from local diners to the finest chefs in distant outposts. On King Jules' orders, they are injected with vitamins and minerals so his son Sonic (and anyone that wants to eat one, really) can maintain good health while still eating a fast food item. Sonic frequently received them as rewards for his studies by Lord and Lady Windermere, and in particular visited a certain chili dog booth many times when he was a child. While the Queen was pregnant with Sonic and his siblings, she ate a few vitamin-injected chili dogs; even Sonic's first words were "chili dog". He even gets upset when he is denied one. After Dr. Robotnik seized power and transformed Mobotropolis into Robotropolis, the chili dog booths except for the one were closed (though he secretly wanted to try at least one). However, chili dog vending machines remained, which were left forgotten in the city's sewers. Several chili dog carts, some of them being robotic and some of them being maintained and operated by Mobian chili dog chefs (using the King's recipe, naturally), can also be seen too.
When Sonic reclaimed the throne and rose to power as King of Mobius, all the chili dogs booths were reopened and the chili dog vending machines were reinstalled.
==Trivia==
*Lord and Lady Windermere would oftentime bribe Sonic with chili dogs to get him to take baths when he was a child.
**Sonic is sometimes bribed with chili dogs if he is unsure to go to some certain locations or when he is to participate in dangerous or frightening plans, such as acting as bait for Robotnik's henchmen, similar to Scooby Doo being bribed with Scooby Snacks in the Scooby Doo cartoons.
*Sonic the Hedgehog's fondness for chili dogs is something that has been a staple of Sonic's characterization in western territories, having been first established in the animated series Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. In the years since, the chili dog has been established as Sonic's favorite food in just about every Sonic-related media, eventually making its way into the games' canon as well. It is unknown how the idea of chili dogs being Sonic's favorite food came about, but a sprite seeming to resemble a chili dog can be seen in the Casino Night Zone stage of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the SEGA Genesis.
**Sonic (and sometimes other characters such as Tails) would eat almost nothing else but chili dogs, even as snacks and main meals. (Sonia even points this out to her brother Sonic in one episode, saying to Sonic "How you can eat those things morning, noon and night is really astounding!".) However, it is because that King Jules has ordered that all chili dogs are to be injected with vitamins, proteins and minerals.
**Chili dogs would much later be integrated into the main series canon starting with Sonic Unleashed, where it is available as a food item that can be purchased for 50 Rings, and its in-game description states that it is Sonic's favorite food. When fed to Sonic, he gains 30 EXP, and if fed to Chip, he will comment on how they're too spicy for his personal tastes despite deeming them good. In addition ,every shop in the game sells chili dogs with the exception of the Eggshop in Eggmanland, which sells a black chili dog called the "Egg Dog" which neither Chip nor Sonic find appetizing. Sonic can also earn special chili dogs by completing Don Fachio's missions that give him extra EXP. In Sonic and the Black Knight, Sonic was having chili dogs when he was summoned to the Grand Kingdom by Merlina the Wizard. Catching his two chili dogs after falling into Merlina's world, Sonic eats one of them before defeating the surrounding Knights of the Underworld while throwing his last chili dog around. When Merlina teleported them away from King Arthur though, Sonic's last chili dog gets blown away, much to his disappointment. It also appears as one of the collectibles in the game. In Sonic Generations, chili dogs are served at Sonic's birthday party, with Tails giving Sonic a specially-wrapped chili dog as a birthday present (presumably prepared by Tails himself). Right after taking his first bite, however, Sonic's chili dog was blown away (again) by the Time Eater, and again he was disappointed. After defeating the Time Eater, time was reset to when Sonic's chili dog was blown away, allowing him to finish it while it was still warm.
**On Earth though, hedgehogs don't eat chili dogs, but you can give them unseasoned meats with no bread. It's really not advisable to give them any spices or flavorings, as it can cause them serious gastrointestinal problems.
**When told about this, Sonic was a bit sad, but said that his "Terran subjects" (hedgehogs from Earth) would enjoy them if they were from Mobius and that they are "missing out on the succulent aroma of chili and hot dog".
*When Sonic is eating chili dogs (sometimes with any one of his siblings and other times alone), he often wishes that Amy Rose, his love interest and future queen, was with him so they could share these meals. This is usually but not always done when the prince asks for two chili dogs or more.
*Noticeably, Sonic is mostly seen tossing chili dogs into his mouth and swallowing them whole, (though there was one instance where he ate most of a chili dog in one bite before eating the last bite a few seconds later). After his etiquette lessons with Lady Windermere, he generally takes a few bites instead and, when seated a table, uses utensils the same way his alternate counterpart did. He also covers his mouth when he burps too.
*Some of the chili dog carts and booths are, ironically, operated and maintained by pig chefs. Two of them are related.
**However, Jake (the owner and proprietor of both restaurants (so far) of the Hot Hot Jake's franchise, is a cat instead.
*Along with the many gifts of land, jewels and expensive cloth that he frequently gives to Amy, Sonic also gives Amy chili dogs as gifts, usually wrapped in pretty foil wrappers, so she can have a little "extra energy".
*There are no chili dogs on Batuu. However, on a trip to Batuu during a recent progress, King Sonic suggested a Ronto Wrap with chili in place of the slaw usually served, as well as spices, creating a Batuuan equivalent. It is now a very popular item at Black Spire Outpost as a result. It is served at not just Ronto Roasters but alsp Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo
