Calories & Macros: What You’re Really Eating
Most venues use the same base batter as national brands, so the USDA / Nutrifox values apply:
| Item (78 g stick) | Calories | Fat (g) | Sodium (mg) | Protein (g) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Classic Dog | 195 | 9 | 480 | 6 |
| Mozza Dog* | 235 | 12 | 520 | 9 |
| Potato-Crust Dog* | 275 | 11 | 540 | 7 |
Health hack: Air-fried corn dogs (available at Mochinut before 3 p.m.) shave ~80 kcal per stick by reducing absorbed oil.
Cost vs Calories: Saving Money (and Macros)
Here’s what a family of four spends on a “corn-dog-only” order at each venue (classic sticks):
| Venue | 4 × Dogs ($) | Cal per Order | ¢/Cal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mochinut BP | ≈ $23.00 | 780 kcal | 2.95¢ |
| CrunCheese | ≈ $27.56 | 780 kcal | 3.53¢ |
| Two Hands | ≈ $19.96 | 780 kcal | 2.55¢ |
Frugal foodie tip: Mochinut’s Tuesday punch-card (buy 8, get 1 free) effectively lowers cost to $5.11 per stick after nine visits.
5 Pro Tips for Maximum Crunch & Minimum Wait
- Arrive off-peak (2 – 4 p.m.) to skip lines and guarantee fresh-fried dogs.
- Ask for “no sugar dust.” Brooklyn Park shops automatically roll sticks in fine sugar; skipping it saves 4 g sugar.
- Split potato dogs. They weigh ~110 g—perfect for sharing to halve calories and cost.
- Use student or military IDs at CrunCheese on Tuesdays (10 % off).
- Bundle with donuts. Mochinut offers a donut + dog combo that beats separate purchases by $2.
No Ride? Make BP-Style Dogs at Home in 15 Minutes
Grab Foster Farms Honey Crunchy frozen corn dogs (470 mg sodium; 9 g fat each) and air-fry 8 min at 375 °F for a respectable crunch. For the full Korean vibe, roll in panko + sugar and drizzle sriracha mayo.
