Images of food and the preparation of food have an effect on people. They plug directly into the primal craving for transitory pleasure, the desire not just to admire and then consume inventively prepared food, but also to serve and be served by people who love us.

Feast is a tribute to such images.

One night I wanted a good hot dog. I went all over town and couldn’t find one. So that’s when I realized that was my calling in life — to sell good hot dogs.

I’m not an entertainer. I don’t juggle. I’m here to serve great food at a reasonable price.

My hot dogs are better than any restaurant. I’ll put my product against anyone in town.

All the drunk people can be really frustrating, but I don’t let it bother me. You’re selling hot dogs outside a bar — you’re going to deal with drunk people.

File in, get liquored up, and come get a hot dog.

AT HDU, students learn everything there is to know about operating a hot dog cart down to the last detail.

Reitman began teaching others out of his home in Racine, WI. Eventually, the two-day program became so popular he partnered with Vienna Beef.

“We use a 33 page curriculum that covers everything from licensing, permits, equipment, location, products, insurance, marketing, accounting,” says Reitman.

The business began as a small Italian grocery store in Los Angeles, California. It has been family owned and operated for over one-hundred years. Although the focus of the store has changed to soda pop and beer from around the world it still maintains an Italian deli in the back of the retail store. It originally became known for its “Blockbuster” sandwiches which are made fresh daily.

The passion for soda began when John F. Nese was a child. His father’s best friend owned a soda pop bottling plant where John loved to visit in the 1950’s. At that time, he also spent his summers at Happy Camp. It was here that he would dream of how he could hook the natural, bubbling spring water, add syrup and siphon it to his elementary school’s drinking fountains.

In 1995 John began increasing his assortment of sodas not only out of love, but also as a protest to some of the larger soda companies that were not offering him the same prices as his larger competitors. He figured why not support other small businesses such as his own?

Whether you choose avocado and mojo sauce or opt for potato and onions, one thing is clear — America is crazy about hot dogs and the toppings that give them their local flavor. No matter what city, just remember, Ball Park is here to make sure that you have the delicious hot dog you deserve — and there’s no topping that!

Here’s a look at the top ten hot dog consuming cities and the recipes that make them hometown favorites:

New York (#1)
Considered the hot dog capital of the nation by many Americans, New York City’s infamous street cart dog is boiled and then served with a special onion sauce and deli-style yellow mustard or in some cases, sauerkraut.

Los Angeles (#2)
This west coast wiener is wrapped with Mexican style bacon and includes grilled onions, jalapeno or bell peppers and salsa.

Baltimore/Washington, DC (#3)
Popular within the nation’s capital, the Monumental Dog is typically an all-beef frank topped with banana peppers, onions, diced red peppers, sliced pickles and served on a steamed potato hot dog bun that has been spread with mayonnaise.

Philadelphia (#4)
One of the most unique recipes in the nation, the Philly Combo consists of an all-beef hot dog and a potato fish cake topped with mustard and onions.

Chicago (#5)
Widely known for its “Classic Chicago Dog,” this elaborate dog is served in a poppy seed bun with yellow mustard, green relish, chopped raw onion, fresh tomato, a pickle spear and topped with a
touch of celery salt.

San Antonio/Corpus Christi (#6)
A popular hot dog in the Lone Star state, the Tex-Mex dog is topped with salsa, Monterrey Jack cheese and chopped jalapenos.

Boston (#7)
One of the nation’s most famous franks, the Fenway Frank is boiled and grilled, then served in a New England-style bun topped with mustard and relish.

Harrisburg/Scranton, PA (#8)
Home to the Texas Weiner, which contrary to popular belief, has nothing to do with Texas. Although there have been debates in the past on whether this hot dog originated in New Jersey or Pennsylvania, one thing is certain – this misnomer of a dog is deep fried and served with Greek sauce consisting of a smooth, slow cooked meat sauce spiced with cayenne, cinnamon, allspice, cloves and cumin.

Miami/Ft Lauderdale (#9)
Known for its spicy flavor and hot temperatures, this city’s “hot” dog is modeled after a Cuban recipe, which calls for lettuce, avocado, mojo sauce (a sauce combining garlic and olive oil) and pineapple.

Charleston, SC (#10)
So popular it spans both North and South Carolina, the Carolina dog is served with chili, coleslaw, mustard and onions.
