IT'S VERY QUESTIONABLE TO
ME.
ASK AWAY.
WHAT'S ONE THING A HOT DOG IS
ALWAYS?
SALTY.
COOKED.
YOU CAN NEVER GET A RAW HOT
DOG.
IT'S ALREADY COOKED WHEN
IT'S PREPARED.
LEARNING TRIVIA TODAY.

LOADED.

KETCHUP, NOT ALLOWED.
DON'T EVEN SAY THAT WORD.
I KNOW.
BUT THE GREAT THINGS IS, HOT
DOGS ARE NOT THAT HIGH IN
CALORIES.
No.
SO I DON'T FEEL GUILTY.
NO, IT'S KNOWN AS A MEAL ON
A BUN.
IT WAS MADE AT THE WORLD'S FAIR
IN CHICAGO.
AND FOR 5-CENT, YOU GOT A MEAL
IN A BUN.
IT WAS ACTUALLY VERY
NUTRITIOUS.
I FEEL LIKE THIS NEEDS MORE.
THIS IS WHAT MAKES IT
SPECIAL, PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T HAD
A CHICAGO-STYLE HOT DOG BEFORE
AND THEY SEE THIS.
WHAT SORT OF RADIO ACTIVE
MATERIAL --
CHICAGO RIVER WATER.
IT DOES LOOK LIKE THAT A
LITTLE BIT.
IT IS NOT.
PEOPLE WILL THINK THAT'S
TRUE.
SHOULD WE RACE OURSELVES?
ARE YOU GOING TO EAT THE
PEPPER?
YEP, LET'S DO IT.
I DON'T KNOW THAT WE NEED TO
DO A RACE.
MATT IS GOING TO --

HALF.

THANKS FOR HAVING US.
THE HOT DOGS SMELL
DELICIOUS.
THANK YOU.
YOU WERE TELLING ME ABOUT
THIS WEEK, YOU HAVE CHANGED THE
HOT DOGS THAT YOU'RE USING.
YEAH, ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO,
WE SWITCHED TO MAKING OUR OWN
HOT DOGS AND WE FOUND THERE'S
CORN SYRUP AND SUGAR IN THE HOT
DOGS.
SO ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO, WE
DEVELOPED A RECIPE THAT WAS ALL
NATURAL.
AND DID CUSTOMERS EAT IT AND
--
WELL, WE DIDN'T TELL
CUSTOMERS THAT WE DID IT.
MY WIFE IS ALWAYS LOOKING
FOR THE NITRATE-FREE.
BUT SOME DO THE NOT TASTE AS
GOOD.
NO.
THEY TASTE DIFFERENT.
AND WE WENT TO SOME OF THE
BIGGER HEALTHCARE FOOD STORE
AND EVEN THOSE HAD IT.
SO YOU MADE THIS THE
HEALTHIEST A DOG CAN BE.
WE HAVE.
IT'S MADE FROM BEEF FLAT, LOW-
FAT TRIM, CANE SUGAR AND NO
NITRATES.
AND WE HAVE 9TH INNING NINE --
WE HAVE NINE INGREDIENTS.
IT'S ALL BEEF.
IT.
IS.
AND NATIONAL HOT DOG
AWARENESS --
IT IS.
IT'S AWARENESS.
AND RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT HOT
DOGS.
WELL --
THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
WE KNOW WHY YOU'RE HERE.
YOU GOT THE HAT.
I WOULDN'T PLUG MYSELF.
PUT A COUPLE SIGNS UP THERE.
YOU HAVE A HOT DOG THE
EATING CONTEST TODAY.
WE DO.
AND IT'S FOR A CHARITY.
WE HAVE INVITED POLICE AND
FIREFIGHTERS TO COME IN AND EAT
HOT DOGS IN FIVE MINUTE,
CHICAGO-STYLE HOT DOGS.
FULLY LOADED LIKE HERE IN THE

SO THE MUSTARD, SPICY PEPPER,
RELISH, PICKLES, ALL THAT

AND CARL WRIGHT IS OUR
CHAMPION.
HE'S DONE 6.5 --
I FEEL LIKE A GOOD STRONG
JAW, LIKE HE CAN JUST --
HE'S THE SMALL GUY OF THE
GROUP BUT HE HAS WON EVERY

EVERY TIME SOMEONE GETS NEAR,
HE EATS ANOTHER AND IS AHEAD.
THERE'S MONEY ON THE LINE
FOR CHARITY.

WE GIVE $25 FOR EVERY DOG
EAT LIGHTNING THE GROUP.
AND I CHALLENGED JASON

ARE FULL.
ALL RIGHT.
I'M BACK.
