A road trip through America’s hot-dog culture
Jamie Loftus uses the hot dog as a lens on American food history, popular culture, and class. Framed as a cross-country road trip in the summer of 2021, the book connects the food’s creation and cultural reach with a critique of capitalism. Its subject is deliberately familiar, but the scope extends beyond culinary history to questions about who shapes and profits from everyday food culture. The paperback edition includes a new author introduction.
