We read the Serious Eats announcement last week about the annual bracket it does with Rachael Ray's magazine where classic American foods from around the region face off. more ›

One of those all-American hotdog carts, the kind you see in Belltown late at night, will cost you about $500, give or take. And, for another $700, there's an outfit in Chicago that will teach you how to run it. (Sample from the weeklong curriculum: dress the dog, not the bun.) more ›

According to Serious Eats, the Seattle-style dog exists:

Served at carts and trucks all over the city, popular for a quick lunch or after the bars at 2 a.m., the Seattle Style hot dog is a wiener or Polish sausage grilled and often split (to hold more toppings?) then jammed into a cream cheese slathered toasted bun.

Over the past six days, King County Animal Care and Control received 35 reports of dogs locked in very hot cars, during what's been Seattle's most dramatically hot week ever (!). Thankfully, no fatalities occurred from pooches being left to suffer and pant their way through 130-degree temperatures. more ›

Old School Frozen Custard, the new shop that just opened across the parking lot from Chop Suey, is already making adjustments to their menu. According to a sign in their window, they'll be discontinuing the chili and hot dogs on July 1, leaving them to focus strictly on the custard. We'd been curious about the dogs since they opened and had a couple for lunch. While tasty (and very filling), they certainly weren't a menu option we'll miss when gone. We've got Shorty's for hot dogs. Old School's making the right choice by focusing on the custard that is their namesake (and with Molly Moon's right around the corner, they don't need to waste time on culinary distractions). more ›

Our good friends at CHS alerted us to a new hot dog restaurant coming to Capitol Hill Octoberish. Po Dog will be located in the same building as the Mercury (1009 E Union). They'll be serving veggie dogs, beef dogs, dogs with peanut butter and bananas (!), and beer. No word if their semi-unconventional take on hot dogs will also include cute wittle puppies. (Fingers crossed?) more ›

Yesterday morning, we got up around 6:30 a.m., and headed to Lincoln/Garfield High School in Wallingford to check people into the 43rd Legislative District Caucus for the Hillary campaign. more ›

This fall we are combining our love of the football and our dream of learning to cook. On Sunday morning, following a trip to a local farmer's market/major supermarket chain, we will be preparing a meal from the city of the Seahawks' opponent. Then at halftime we will throw our badly burned hands in the air and make hot dogs. more ›

On Saturday we will be in a land where betting on sports is not only legal, they reward you with free drinks for doing so. We'll be placing some money on the Seahawks, with the understanding that if they lose we are out both happiness and money. more ›
