Hot Diggity Dog!
Saturday, April 5 at 12 P.M. at the Edgewater Branch Library, 6000 N. Broadway
Frankfurters, franks, wieners, coneys, or just plain “dogs.” Whatever you call them, you’ll relish this program about how hot dogs became the symbol of American culture and why Chicago is the center of hot dog culture. This entertaining presentation will include the origins of hot dogs as immigrant food, regional and world styles, their interesting toppings, who invented them, and the art of hot dog stands, presented by Bruce Kraig, professor emeritus in history and humanities at Roosevelt University, world-renowned hot dog scholar, and author/editor of 10 books on cookery and culinary history. His books including Hot Dog - A Global History and Man Bites Dog: Hot Dog Culture in America are available through Chicago Public Library.
