PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"Forget oysters—the world is your hot dog," writes debut author Sadeghin in this playful if somewhat thin collection. The introduction offers a breezy history of "tubular meats through the ages" alongside a brief overview of cooking methods, from grilling to microwaving. Lauding "the versatility of the dog," Sadeghin shares recipes collected from across the U.S., international variations, and her own "wild and original" creations. Arizona's bacon-wrapped Sonoran Dogs get topped with spicy jalapeno sauce, pinto beans, and avocado, while Cleveland, Ohio's Polish Boys, typically made with kielbasa, are doused in cole slaw and barbecue sauce. Hot dog flowers, found in many Chinese bakeries, are a sweet and adorable take on pigs in a blanket. Norway's pølse i lomper combines hot dogs and shrimp salad in a potato wrap. Sadeghin's original recipes include hot dog tacos, flautas, and banh mi, and toppings of chickpea curry or pineapple salsa. Rounding things out are casual sidebars on the history of ketchup and mustard, a ranking of baseball stadium hot dogs, and a comic dive into whether a hot dog is technically a sandwich. The cute packaging—the book is long and skinny like a hot dog and charmingly illustrated—adds appeal. Diehard hot dog lovers will appreciate that this comes just in time for summer.
