I have come up with a new and exciting metric that will revolutionize hockey analytics for years to come. It is called HDP, Hot Dog Percentage, and is calculated as follows:

(Total Hot Dog Sales / Total Food Sales) x 1000 = HDP

This means the highest possible HDP is 1000, which would indicate no food other than hot dogs were sold, while a score of 0 would mean no hot dogs were sold at all (but other food items were purchased).

Here's how some notable teams perform in HDP over the past season:

Manhattan 508 HDP - New Yorkers love their hot dogs. The only team to top 500 HDP, sometimes it shows simple, quality ingredients are what really matters. No fancy bells and whistles, just a quality dog with optional sauerkraut or onions.

Chicago 441 HDP - Chicago dogs are one of the few types to actually add a bunch of ingredients to a hot dog and not mess it up. As good as it is however, it can be tricky to eat without a table so fear of green relish or tomato slices squirting out pays a role in their lower HDP.

Texas 435 HDP - Texas style hot dogs include chili and often cheese, which makes for a great combination. Unfortunately, like Chicago dogs, it can be potentially messy to eat in a stadium which causes some fans to stay away.

Seattle 244 HDP - Seattle hot dogs can feature a variety of different toppings, some good, some not so good, but one immutable rule seems to be the inclusion of cream cheese. I mean.... why? This just simply does not work and no amount of the "good" toppings like sriracha or jalapenos can cover up the awfulness of cream cheese on a hot dog.

Atlanta 220 HDP - Georgia dogs are topped with coleslaw and vidalia onion and usually served without mustard. It's nowhere near as horrible as Seattle dogs or the abomination below, but is generally pretty meh. Likely they rank below Seattle in HDP because Atlanta features much more appetizing non-hot dog options so why even bother with a boring hot dog when you can get some southern BBQ?

Philadelphia 190 HDP - Yes, this score is heavily influenced by the popularity of the cheese steak. But let's not ignore the absolute monstrosity that is the Philly hot dog. At first glance it looks like a normal hot dog with mustard and coleslaw or onions. But then you realize... there's something underneath that. And it's.... no... they wouldn't possibly put that on a hot dog... my lord it's a FISH CAKE????!!!?! WHY DID YOU PUT A FISH CAKE ON MY HOT DOG??????
