Hot Dog Bush
- "Hot Dog Bush" is a fun cooking mini game where you take on the role of former President George W. Bush. After your stint in the White House, you have to make it in the business world, so you start your own hot dog stand. In each round, you have a daily earnings goal. The longer it takes you to cook and serve hot dogs to your customers, the less money you will earn because your customers will get angry and leave. In addition, you have to make sure that you don't burn your hot dogs or other items on your menu because customers pay less if the food isn't perfect. Subsequent rounds are tougher because more dishes such as burger and fries are added to your menu and you have to cook and serve them as well.
