Seattle-Style Hot Dogs: Great or Gross?

Hot dogs with cream cheese are considered to be a Seattle specialty. Have you ever had one?

Someone recently told me that I can't consider myself a "true Seattlite" until I've eaten a Seattle-style hot dog, otherwise known as a hot dog topped with cream cheese. I had never heard of this combo, but a quick visit to Wikipedia revealed that there is indeed such a thing as a Seattle Dog. And here I was thinking that driving a Subaru and becoming addicted to coffee made me part of the club.

What about you? Does cream cheese on a hot dog seem like it might be a good idea — or a good idea to avoid? Fans rave that this specialty is particularly good after a night of drinking...
