We explore the many stories and alleged histories of the simple hot dog, and we discuss how we should get into competitive eating...or not. Okay, we'll leave the eating to the greats, like Kobayashi and Chestnut, and talk about them instead. During our Food Fight segment, we help our listener figure out how to tackle her china dilemma (her dishes, not the country).
