Win Tickets to the Hot Dog Hootenanny

Slaw dogs for me -- and it's a combination I never tried until adulthood, so nostalgia plays no part in this preference. For hitting that childhood taste memory like a Proustian madeleine , it's a Nathan's with mustard or a Sabrett with onions.

Alice Waters Proposes New School Lunch Program

Alice Waters is a broken record. Here's a New Yorker article describing what's really involved in improving school lunch programs -- note her unhelpful position:

Dessert Truck Throwing Down in Union Square Right Now

Thanks to this post I was able to get over there and have a front-row view of the entire thing. What impressed me most was the producer and the crew. Everything happened at a sufficiently brisk pace that seeing it in person was surprisingly like watching a finished, edited episode...even allowing for lines that had to be repeated and shots that needed reshooting. Considering the eager crowd (half of whom had no awareness of the show or who Bobby Flay was) plus the Union Square traffic and construction going on half a block to the south, their efficiency without ever being obnoxious about it was no small feat.

Plus it's got to be the only time in my life I'll ever be handed a free dessert cooked by Bobby Flay, so many thanks for that!

'Iron Chef America' for the Nintendo Wii and DS

I'm guessing the "Dinner Impossible" game for the DS Lite will be going for cheap now...

Kosher dog with casing, clearly -- but there will always be a soft spot in my heart for a good old dirty water dog. ♥

Classic Kosher Style please - ketchup, no mustard though!

Chicago style. With only Vienna Beef dogs. Gotta have the little red specks and natural casing. Celery salt too. Poppy seed buns are impossible to find though.

PS. In Mexico, I often enjoyed street dogs loaded up with salsa and thick sliced tomatoes and jalepeños – delicious!

New York System (RI) is the winner! Faneek's serves the best.

My favorite's are Rutt's Hutt for pure dog with their sweet mustard relish, for a dog with toppings is Super Duper weenie for great added taste & Sper Dawg in Chicago for a dog "dragged through the garden." The Varisty with chilli in Atlanta and a half-smoke from Ben's Chili Bowl in DC. I do miss Spanky's and I get the Dine's fix from the Hasting's Farmer's Market.
