I was not ready for this book. You are not ready for this book. The audiobook, read by the author of course, is highly recommended.

I honestly have no idea how to describe this book but I loved it. So many good one liners that made me laugh out loud. It’s part history of the hot dog, part memoir of a break up, part reflection on American culture especially during the COVID pandemic.

Hot Dog Summer giveth and taketh away 
adventurous funny hopeful informative fast-paced

this is what a travelogue of a caroline+grace rosdtrip would read like. I wanted a lot more hotdog history, critique, and experience and less narrative. it very much could (should?) have been a longform essay or marketed as an essay collection. maybe a 2.5 thinking about it more but the audiobook was nice to listen to as a whole

did not hold my interest 

As good as a book about the most disturbing American food can be. Jamie, I love you, but dear God the things I just read...
