Hot Dog and Sausage Tasting, NYC, Oct 13

Hot Dog and Sausage Tasting with Bruce Kraig

Hot dogs are "hot." Suddenly, there is a renewed interest in hot dogs, seen in the top food magazines, tons of newspapers and lots of website. Dressed in fancy clothes, and in new "upscale" eating places, people are enjoying the formerly humble hot dog as never before. Now is your chance to have a sampling of traditional and new style in one venue with an expert guide-and to talk about it.

Join us for an exciting journey of hot dogs and sausages from Chicago, New York, Italy, Coney Island and Hudson Valley by Bruce Kraig, one of America's leading hot dog historians and gourmandisers. He has written and lectured on hot dogs across the United States and around the world. His latest work on the subject is, Hot Dog: A Global History (Reaktion Press/University of Chicago Press). The hot dogs and sausages will be prepared by chef Daniel B. Mowles, of Lily’s restaurant.
