Hi,

If you have the book, is there any mention of the Tomato Lady? Molly O'Neill's personal assistant contacted me seeking her contact information sometime ago. I have a feeling it may have been related to this project.

Thanks!

Regards,

Hi Cathy,

I've only seen the book once in Barnes & Noble and my copy is coming from Amazon later this week. I'll let you know.

Hot Dog University will be featured on the Cooking Channel on Tuesday, November 30th at 9:30EST http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/shows/u ... age-3.html

Watching it now - well done!

Thanks, Zoid. I watched the program at a neighbor's home on DirecTV, since very few local cable carriers host the Cooking Channel. It will eventually be posted on the internet.

Neil Steinberg, a news columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times graduated from Hot Dog University on Tuesday. His story will be featured next week in the Sun-Times and on their website.

The Chicago food episode of Andrew Zimmern's Bizarre Foods will air this Tuesday on the Travel Channel and the Vienna Beef factory was one of his destinations.

The Vienna Beef Factory Store has small, seasoned, uncooked, corned beef flats on sale ($16/4lb). I made one yesterday for dinner and can attest, it's hand down, one of the best I've ever had. The flats are also available at Costco. I followed the directions on the package, cooked it a bit longer with just enough water to cover the flat, using absolutely no additional seasonings. Be sure to cut it against the grain and it will crumble and melt in your mouth. If you like the corned beef at Jake's, Benji's, and McBob's in Milwaukee, you'll appreciate this home cooked product. Guaranteed!

Glad to hear how much you liked it, because I picked up one of those at Costco to cook for St. Patrick's Day today.

Jalapeno Cheddar Day

Vienna Beef Factory

Enjoy a jumbo, char, jalapeno cheddar dog, with extra cheddar (compliments of Merkt's) and extra jalapenos for $4.00 (tax included) from the Hot Dog University cart, located in front of the Vienna Beef Factory Cafe.
