RAW DOG The Naked Truth About Hot Dogs

Author Jamie Loftus is right at home as the narrator of her first book. Loftus traveled across the U.S. in the summer of 2021 with her pets and boyfriend, sampling the various hot dogs at each location. Beyond giving a snappy description of the different flavors and dressings each dog contains, Loftus also dives into their history and relays some social commentary surrounding these "meat tubes." The heart of this journey is Loftus's return to her father's home to help him recover from surgery following lung cancer. Loftus delivers her material with the same sarcasm and plucky spirit no matter what she is detailing--be it the specs of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile (now called the The Frankmobile) or how COVID affected the hot dog industry.
