Checks what type of turf is the mob standing, shows turf's var

Code:
mob
    verb
        TurfCheck()
            var/s = src.loc
            if(istype(s,/turf/thing))
                world<<("[s.hotdog]")

turf
    var/hotdog
    thing
        icon='thing.dmi'
        hotdog=1


Problem description:
Ok so this obviously doesn't work but the purpose of this is to check if the player is on top/standing on /turf/thing and if he is, it displays the number of hotdog the turf has. Can someone please correct this? Thank you

var/thing/thing = new

thing
    parent_type = /turf
    icon = 'thing.dmi'
    
    var/hotdogs = 0
    
    proc/check_hotdogs()
    
        var/turf/t = locate(/thing)
        
        if(src.loc == t)
            src << "There are [thing.hotdogs] hotdogs on this turf!"
            
    New()
        hotdogs = 1
        ..()
        
        
mob/verb/turf_check()
    thing.check_hotdogs()

^ That code's not going to work. There's all kinds of things wrong with it. They way you've done it yourself is just about right, the only thing you're missing is typecasting. Alternatively, you could use the : operator too but it's stigmatized. What I mean is:

mob/verb/turfCheck()
    if( loc && istype(loc, /turf/thing) )
        var/turf/s = loc
        world << s.hotdogs

mob/verb/Turf_Check()
    var turf/thing/thing = loc
    if(istype(thing))
        world << thing.hotdog
