Never in my life did i think that I, as a vegan, would INHALE a book about hot dogs with so voraciously.

Comedian and podcaster Jamie Loftus loves hot dogs..like..loves them. As a way to investigate the true vice grip that hot dogs have on American culture, Loftus and her (at the time) boyfriend kick off a cross-country road trip to research what the hot dog means to people today. Whether its a $15 boutique hot or a sweaty gas station stomachache, Loftus has yet to meet a hot dog she won't try.

I knew this book would be a riot and keep me laughing and cringing, but I as also very impressed with the breadth of the coverage, including how economics, racism, and colonialism has shaped the hot dog industry.

This book was truly a wild ride and I can't wait to see what absolutely unhinged food Loftus hyperfixates on next.

Thank you to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for a copy of this audiobook in return for an honest review!

ah, Hot Dogs. America's favorite treat to observe America's favorite past-time. I read this one awhile back and I'm happy to check in with my favorite excerpts and passages of Jamie Loftus's Raw Dog from Macmillan Audio. Learning about the American Dream and how a food-thing conveys and projects its ideals onto a group of people, is very interesting. Raw Dog hits shelves on May 23, 2023, and I can't wait to see other opinions and reviews going forward.
