My parents grew up during the Great Depression, and that fact was made clear in many ways, but most notably in the foods they refused to eat. There weren't any. Period. Full stop.

Normally, when you hear about a food product being recalled, it's because of a singular issue like Salmonella, listeria, E. Coli, etc. Like I said, "normally." But, not always.
The summer is the best time for a hot dog. They just taste great when the weather is warm, there's a baseball game happening and some form of beer is being served.
Naperville's Sara Rodriguez (pictured on the far right) ate more hot dogs in 10 minutes than Joe Dredge and I have eaten collectively in the last two years. Well, more than me, anyway.
