Perfect Presentation Platters

Hot Dog Stand – The adorable Hot Dog Stand is $60 from Amazon! For another option, this vintage diner-style hot dog stand is $40 and so cute.

Paper Hot Dog Trays – We love these paper serving trays for a great deal from Amazon!

Food Storage Containers – I used this Condiment Serving Tray! This storage tray is also great as a smaller option.

Kitchen Links: I get asked all the time about the products in the background of my kitchen. Much of it is from MacKenzie-Childs, which I have slowly grown a collection of over the years! My favorites are my black and white checkered teapot, and the gray and white checkered utensil holder. Finally, I also have this enamel canister that you can find in small, medium, or large.

Can I Prep This in Advance?

Yes! You can definitely wash and prep all the veggies and hot dog toppings in advance, just cover and store in the fridge. We recommend serving the baked beans warm, but you could also make those ahead of time and just pop into the oven closer to serving time.

Storing Leftovers

If you’re using a good storage organizer, simply place in the fridge. Or, transfer any perishables into a Tupperware container and store in the fridge, where they should stay fresh for several days. You can also use a Ziploc Bag!
