The chili dog is an object that appears in the Sonic Boom television series. It is a popular food product consumed on Seaside Island, which is made and sold by several parties. It is perhaps best known as the favorite food of Sonic the Hedgehog.
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 with onions and a spicy substance known as chili. The sauce itself can differ in ingredients (for instance, the ones served at Meh Burger may be expired and/or contain old socks[1]), and extra toppings such as relish can be added as well.[2]
History[]
TV series[]
Past[]
At some point, the Unnamed Village introduced a chili dog tax. Supposedly, Mayor Fink promised his administration would repeal that law, but it never came to be, much to Sonic's dismay.[3]
Season one[]
While working with Dr. Eggman and Tails to stop Cowbot, Sonic would waste some of his time (and Eggman's) preparing and eating a chili dog instead.[4] One day, Sonic would get the last chili dog from Meh Burger before Eggman, making Eggman pressure Sonic to get him a new one from another village. However, a spiteful Eggman ultimately ended up attacking Sonic with his robots for forgetting the relish for his chili dog.[5]
As the Chili Dog Cook-Off arrived, with Sonic as its judge, numerous people participated too. With the competitors looking for good peppers to use for a chili sauce (which Mrs. Vandersnout took advantage of to sell common peppers), Knuckles found a pepper which knocked him out and gave him strange dreams.[2] Sonic would take his time whipping up a chili dog up before saving Sticks from the Froglodytes.[6] Another time, Sonic saved one of his chili dogs from hitting the sand during barbecue with his friends.[7] Later, Sonic would eat a chili dog during a police investigation in Eggman's lair, with Eggman using the crumbs from his chili dog to frame him for the theft of his Particle Accelerator.[8] At the Robot Battle Royale, Wild Cat would also sell chili dogs, with Sonic being one of his customers.[9]
Season two[]
At Meh Burger, Sonic and Mark the Tapir would order chili dogs (with cheese), but after Sonic had finished his, Mark threw his away.[10] Later on, Tails employed the use of chili dogs as bait for his traps in attempts to capture Sonic, but failed multiple times (except at the last trap), allowing Sonic to eat some.[11] Due to losing a bet, Sonic was later forced to buy chili dogs for his friends.[1]
While babysitting Chumley, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles fed him a blended chili dog when he got hungry, though this resulted in him needing excess diaper changes.[12] Sonic later got persuaded to become a delivery boy for Meh Burger after Mr. Slate promised him a (non-transferable) chili dog for each successful delivery. Thanks to his speed, Sonic earned himself a lot of chili dogs to chow down on. However, he eventually began to feel ill from eating too many, and had to quit his job.[13]
Trivia[]
- Sonic the Hedgehog's fondness for chili dogs is something that has been a staple of his 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.
- The chili dog was originally going to appear in Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, but never made it into the final game.[citation needed] However, it was mentioned during the side-quest that involves Team Sonic stopping Destruction Troops from destroying Chef Woody's food supply. While talking to the chef, he exclaims: "Look at me...I am explaining myself to these creatures that probably live off of chili dogs." They are later referenced again when Sonic humorously adds chili dogs as one of the more important things in life.
- According to Alan Denton, when writing season one of Sonic Boom, the staff was not sure they wanted to keep the chili dog theme going.[14]
- The password for the mother computer in Dr. Eggman's Lair is "chili dog".[15]
