We explore the many stories and alleged histories of the simple hot dog, and we discuss how we should get into competitive eating...or not. Okay, we'll leave the eating to the greats, like Kobayashi and Chestnut, and talk about them instead. During our Food Fight segment, we help our listener figure out how to tackle her china dilemma (her dishes, not the country).

We're delving into the history of school lunch and remembering our own school lunch days. Winter loved school lunch, but is jealous of Sharon and her cool lunch box. We help one of our listeners out during our Food Fight segment who has a problem with a funky Nalgene bottle.
