The Hot Dog Cookbook

“Offers so much more than meets the eye. . . . [The Hot Dog Cookbook] goes well beyond usual suspects like a Chicago-style hot dog in its 50 recipes, exploring both lesser-known American variations (like the Baltimore Dog, which includes bologna, sweet pickle relish, brown mustard, and onions) and global takes on the humble sausages (Montreal Steamies, anyone?). The book is worth purchasing for its yellow mustard-squiggle bookmark alone.”

“Delightful.”

"Playful . . . . A breezy history of 'tubular meats through the ages' alongside a brief overview of cooking methods, from grilling to microwaving. . . . Rounding things out are casual sidebars on the history of ketchup and mustard, a ranking of baseball stadium hot dogs, and a comic dive into whether a hot dog is technically a sandwich."—Publishers Weekly
