  <description><![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;Char-grilled or boiled? Sauerkraut or chili? Mustard or ketchup? Vienna Beef or Sabrett? Only these questions could be raised about one of the world’s favorite backyard, picnic, ballgame, and street foods—the hotdog. Though nearly two billion hot dogs are consumed by Americans annually in the month of July alone, there is absolutely no consensus on which is the right way to serve up a hotdog. In <em>Hot Dog,</em> well known food historian Bruce Kraig recounts the history of this popular “tube steak” from the origin of the sausage 20,000 years ago to its central place in American culture today. &lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 200%&quot;&gt;            Kraig discusses the many brands, including Hebrew National, Pearl, Sabrett, and Vienna Beef, and the regional variations that go along with them—like kosher-style New York dogs loaded with mustard and sauerkraut, New England dogs with Boston Baked Beans, and fully-loaded Chicago style hotdogs, complete with mustard, onion, relish, sport peppers, a dill pickle spear, a dash of celery salt, and tomato slices (but never, ever ketchup). <em>Hot Dog </em>covers the other international sausages, like bologna and bockwurst, as well, and explores some of the apocryphal tales of the hotdog in history—like the origin of its name and whether Queen Elizabeth II was truly served hotdogs on a visit to the White House.&lt;/P&gt;            Packed with tasty facts and recipes, <em>Hot Dog </em>reveals the rich history and passionate opinions about this seemingly ordinary food.&lt;/DIV&gt;]]></description>

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;Char-grilled or boiled? Sauerkraut or chili? Mustard or ketchup? Vienna Beef or Sabrett? Only these questions could be raised about one of the world’s favorite backyard, picnic, ballgame, and street foods—the hotdog. Though nearly two billion hot dogs are consumed by Americans annually in the month of July alone, there is absolutely no consensus on which is the right way to serve up a hotdog. In <em>Hot Dog,</em> well known food historian Bruce Kraig recounts the history of this popular “tube steak” from the origin of the sausage 20,000 years ago to its central place in American culture today. &lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 200%&quot;&gt;            Kraig discusses the many brands, including Hebrew National, Pearl, Sabrett, and Vienna Beef, and the regional variations that go along with them—like kosher-style New York dogs loaded with mustard and sauerkraut, New England dogs with Boston Baked Beans, and fully-loaded Chicago style hotdogs, complete with mustard, onion, relish, sport peppers, a dill pickle spear, a dash of celery salt, and tomato slices (but never, ever ketchup). <em>Hot Dog </em>covers the other international sausages, like bologna and bockwurst, as well, and explores some of the apocryphal tales of the hotdog in history—like the origin of its name and whether Queen Elizabeth II was truly served hotdogs on a visit to the White House.&lt;/P&gt;            Packed with tasty facts and recipes, <em>Hot Dog </em>reveals the rich history and passionate opinions about this seemingly ordinary food.&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;Char-grilled or boiled? Sauerkraut or chili? Mustard or ketchup? Vienna Beef or Sabrett? Only these questions could be raised about one of the world’s favorite backyard, picnic, ballgame, and street foods—the hotdog. Though nearly two billion hot dogs are consumed by Americans annually in the month of July alone, there is absolutely no consensus on which is the right way to serve up a hotdog. In <em>Hot Dog,</em> well known food historian Bruce Kraig recounts the history of this popular “tube steak” from the origin of the sausage 20,000 years ago to its central place in American culture today. &lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 200%&quot;&gt;            Kraig discusses the many brands, including Hebrew National, Pearl, Sabrett, and Vienna Beef, and the regional variations that go along with them—like kosher-style New York dogs loaded with mustard and sauerkraut, New England dogs with Boston Baked Beans, and fully-loaded Chicago style hotdogs, complete with mustard, onion, relish, sport peppers, a dill pickle spear, a dash of celery salt, and tomato slices (but never, ever ketchup). <em>Hot Dog </em>covers the other international sausages, like bologna and bockwurst, as well, and explores some of the apocryphal tales of the hotdog in history—like the origin of its name and whether Queen Elizabeth II was truly served hotdogs on a visit to the White House.&lt;/P&gt;            Packed with tasty facts and recipes, <em>Hot Dog </em>reveals the rich history and passionate opinions about this seemingly ordinary food.&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>
