Never in my life did i think that I, as a vegan, would INHALE a book about hot dogs with so voraciously.

Comedian and podcaster Jamie Loftus loves hot dogs..like..loves them. As a way to investigate the true vice grip that hot dogs have on American culture, Loftus and her (at the time) boyfriend kick off a cross-country road trip to research what the hot dog means to people today. Whether its a $15 boutique hot or a sweaty gas station stomachache, Loftus has yet to meet a hot dog she won't try.

I knew this book would be a riot and keep me laughing and cringing, but I as also very impressed with the breadth of the coverage, including how economics, racism, and colonialism has shaped the hot dog industry.

This book was truly a wild ride and I can't wait to see what absolutely unhinged food Loftus hyperfixates on next.

Thank you to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for a copy of this audiobook in return for an honest review!
