This book is an insider's view of a love of hot dogs - eating them, selling them, and talking about them. The author, an executive at Vienna Beef, has spent almost 40 years developing and enhancing strong emotions for the business and for the people who operate hot dog stands. The book includs detailed stories about a long list of hot dog stands located in the Chicago city and suburban area, as well as numerous stands located around the country. The one thing all those businesses have in common is that they serve or served Chicago-style hot dogs. Everyone who grew up eating hot dogs at those stands, especially in their own neighborhoods, remembers the one rule about putting condiments on a Chicago-style wiener -
NEVER PUT KETCHUP ON A HOT DOG! This book will help the reader bring back all of those delicious memories.
The book includes a Preface by Joe Mantegna and a Foreword by Bob Sirott.
