Hot Dog: A Global History (Edible) by Bruce Kraig

Interesting look into the history of the hot dog, both as a food item and as a cultural symbol. My favorite parts were the hot dogs in different parts of the world and the recipes at the end. The description of how hot dogs are made were kind of gross though; I guess that's what you get when you read a book about hot dogs.
