A hot dog program on PBS
By jeff - Posted on August 4th, 2008
Another great show featured on PBS a few days ago called A hot dog program, created by the same people as the show Sandwiches that you will like that I mentioned previously. Of course I felt compelled to find all these places on Merchant Circle. The ones I couldn’t find I link to the website (if available) or a blog describing the place (if available).

I will not be missing the chili cook-off. I just found out there will be a chili cook-off in Fremont tomorrow (7/27/08) hosted by the Rotary club.
The Saddle Rack
42011 Boscell Rd
Fremont, CA
This is the stuff of dreams! El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Homer is one of my favorite episodes of all time. I’m going down there just to see if it’s anything like what they show on Food TV for all the food cook-offs. Being a fan of Wal-mart watching I’m sure the people watching will be amazing.
