Hot Dog Day Afternoon
August 21st, 2009 by Scott
There must be something in the air. Or maybe the water. Whatever it is, we here at The Faster Times food section seem to have gone a little hot dog crazy lately. Take, for instance, Street Foods correspondent Sarah Karnasiewicz’s recent post about the Yankee Hot Dog Trail, in which she muses, “Looking back on the summer, I realize I’ve already devoted an unequal percentage of this real estate to the subject of hot dogs. And here I go again! Whats behind my obsession? Maybe I still have the tastes of a 10 year old.”
I’m pretty sure I know what’s behind your obsession, Sarah, and I don’t think it has anything to do with an immature palate (you enjoyed calf’s spleen with me, remember?). There are larger factors at work here, without question. First, I don’t know if everyone’s noticed, but it’s summertime. And a summer without hot dogs is like…well, not much like summer at all…
