An exploration of the potential emotional consequences of eating hot dogs, including the discussion of a book club and an inquiry into the guest's preferred hot dog, which leads to a lighthearted debate about Chicago style hot dogs.
The history of the hot dog is the history of America. The humble hot dog bun holds not just a tube of delicious-yet-dubious meats, but a long lineage of entrepreneurial effort, regional expressions, and immigrant stories. Comedian and author Jamie Loftus has written the literal book on hot dogs, and joins Adam to discuss the myths, merits, and hard truths about America's favorite food.
