DVD Reviews of A Hot Dog Program
DVD Review: A Celebration! Don't miss it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have forgotten when I first encountered the documentaries of Rick Sebak, but they have enriched my life. They are all great, fun TV shows that you can sit down and watch with anyone. Kids like them because they are quirky and funny; older people like them because these shows so often pay homage to the past. Repeatedly, we have watched them as a family and enjoyed them more each time.
To be specific about "A Hot Dog Program", Sebak and Co. go all over the country visiting hot dog stands. Sebak maintains that hot dogs, unlike hamburgers, have not become standardized products of cookie-cutter-same chains. So, he finds lots of interesting, quirky places and talks to the people he finds there.
I am always amazed at how natural and engaging all these people are. Sebak clearly puts them at ease and catches them at their best.
I was amazed at the variety of types of hot dogs, and how each region of the country is so protective of their regional way of preparing, dressing, accompanying their dogs. New York style, with a side of papaya juice? Chicago style, loaded up with stuff? Southern style, with slaw? It would be worth the road trip to find out in person.
I would recommend this to anyone, but especially to parents who want something really interesting and entertaining to share with their kids. Teachers might also like it as a "jumping off" point for discussions about regional differences, respecting others' tastes, etc.
By the way, I like all-beef hot dogs, grilled, with yellow mustard and relish (but not that Chicago-style neon green stuff), served on a fresh, lightly toasted bun. A side of fries or potato salad is nice, too.
