Hot Dog Diplomacy

I’m starting to pack out tomorrow, so I don’t have a lot of time.  I did want to share an interesting piece in today’s New York Times.  Dan Barry has written a delightful history of the hot dog as a diplomatic tool.  Noting that it has been served to royalty, Soviet leaders, and warring factions.  Barry concludes that, “The hot dog, it seems, figures in American diplomacy only when absolutely needed.”  and goes on to say “Now it is needed again — on Independence Day, to help the Obama administration with the delicate matter of Iran.”  Anyway, it’s a fun article and a great read, click here to enjoy the whole thing (in no more than five bites).
