This book is an insider's view of a love of hot dogs—
eating them, selling them, and talking about them.
First time author, Bob Schwartz, a Senior Vice
President at Vienna Beef, has spent the last third of
a century developing and enhancing strong emotions
for the business and for the people who operate hot
dog stands. The book includes detailed stories about
a long list of hot dog stands located in Chicago and
surrounding suburban areas, as well as stands
located across the country.
The one thing that all
those businesses have in common is that they serve
or served Chicago-style hot dogs to their many, and
devoted, customers. It is important to remember
that everyone who grew up eating hot dogs at those
stands, especially in their own neighborhoods,
knew the one “rule” about putting condiments on a
Chicago-style wiener—NEVER PUT KETCHUP ON
A HOT DOG!
This book is filled with countless tales
about memorable stands and personalities, the people
who made the “dogs,” and those who delivered the
product. It is such a compelling book that, once you
pick it up, you won’t be able to put it down until
you race over to your favorite stand for a delicious,
mouth-watering, hot dog!
