Media Exposure: You Gotta Eat Here
What: Pigs with lipstick
John Cattuci has high praises for this spot. Let's see how it does.
Frankie Goes to Buffalo with chicken bacon, carrots, celery, blue cheese
dressing, and buffalo wing sauce. Underneath the layers of lipstick is a
purportedly 100% beef hot dog. The dog undoubtedly shone above the
typical grocery store hot dogs. The question remaining would be if the
fancy stuff justifies the $7.25 price tag.
The resulting assembling seems to reflect scrupulous care. That's a positive. Now the acid test. The Buffalo had nice mixture of textures and crunchiness from the chicken bacon, the lettuce, and the celery combined with the softness of the bun and the meatiness of the wiener. The creaminess of the blue cheese dressing felt incongruous with the remainder of the textures. The mild kick of the hot sauce could have been kicked up a notch.
The hot dog glistened with eye appeal but the eating doesn't match. It's too much money for too little in desirability.
