Hot Dogs: Street Meat, Corn Dogs & Chef Controversies

Hot dogs aren’t just ballpark food — they’re a cultural obsession. In this episode of Chef’s Day Off, Marcus D. Najera from iHeartRadio San Francisco (The Marcus and Corey Morning Show) and Chef Matthew Dolan (25 Lusk, Food Network regular, cookbook author) go all in on America’s favorite guilty pleasure. From cheese dogs and bacon-wrapped Sonoran street dogs, to the legendary Seattle dog, Chicago-style purism, and even pigs in a blanket with champagne — nothing is off-limits. They swap stories, debate ketchup vs. mustard, and confess their surprising favorites (spoiler: corn dogs and cream cheese both make the list). Grab a seat, grab a dog, and join the fun.
