Hot Dog Month: All Hail Knackwurst!

All Hail Knackwurst!

For brunch/lunch today my wife and I met our dear friends Melley* and Karvin* at a place called Katz NY Deli in Charlotte. I had been dreaming about eating anything other than a hot dog all morning, but as we strolled up to the storefront we were met with this sign:

Favorite hot dog? I was powerless to ignore this assertion.

I actually opted for the Knackwurst, served on a bun with Sauerkraut. It was delish. It was huge. Fortunately, one of our friends is a doctor. He monitored my vitals as I made my way through the sausage, and aside from a few irregular heartbeats I came through unscathed.

I'm scoring this one as two dogs.

Hot dog count: 20

Dog on...

Your posts crack me up! Who are these Melley and Karvin characters...;o) Whoever they are, I'm sure they had a great time hanging out with you and the family in Charlotte!

About This Blog

The Mole declared July, 2009 "Hot Dog Month." He decided to see how many hot dogs he could eat in a month and blogged about his experience. He ate 100 hot dogs (and lost 4 pounds). It is like "Super Size Me" without the medical supervision. This blog is 50% hot dog related, 50% random nonsense, and 50% math problems.

Each month a new hot dog eating blogger takes over and writes about their various meat-related experiences. From sampling the local dogs to finding creative ways to inject tubemeat into their diets, these brave Americans are celebrating our country's greatest foodstuff and improving their lives. Think of it as the American Heart Association's worst case scenario for a "Pay It Forward" concept. This month's Blogger is The Buckeye (more below).

This Month's Hot Dog Blogger

The Buckeye is the first female hot dog blogger. She lives in Omaha and works for the Chamber of Commerce where she spends most of her time developing programs and incentives to lure hot dog related industry to Omaha. Dogs, buns, condiments, doesn't matter. If your business is in any way related to hot dogs you do not have to pay any taxes in Omaha. When she is not doing that she runs the Chamber's Leadership Omaha program which will now include a full day session on hot dog appreciation and awareness. The Buckeye hails from Ohio, and if she does a good job we'll give her a sticker for her head. Yes, it might look a little silly but I'm not the one who told her she can't wear a helmet to work.
