Customer Reviews

i really want a hot dog :/

someone's personal journey for their perfect hotdog. never have i ever gone into a restaurant and wondered 'what do they do to their dogs?' until this book. i'm forever changed as a person and feel more open to trying a dog or two. funny, short, and sometimes insightful. i honestly was fascinated by the hot dog eating contest chapter, it was educating to say the least. eta: i read the jungle by upton sinclair immediately after this and i have to recommend that move, it does take some of the glamour out of the hotdog and prevents you from making gastrointestinal mistakes
