Nov 4th, 2009 at 2:30PM: I'm kind of obsessed with Iceland. Ask me about the country and get ready to endure my lengthy soliloquy on why I love it so much. It's one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen, and I'd feel pretty comfortable saying that even as I travel to more destinations, I'll always consider it so.

Iceland Express will offer low-cost flights from Newark to Reykjavik

Oct 21st, 2009 at 8:00AM: It was fun to bring Montreal food insider Katerine Rollet into the world of hotdogs. Her refined palate is more accustomed to the culinary masterpieces she unearths in her home town, and she has the impeccable judgment that a food-illiterate like me can only admire. But, for a moment in New York and a moment farther north, she decided to come down to my level and explore the world of ...Felony Franks and other restaurants help ex-cons help you
Oct 16th, 2009 at 8:00AM:
digg_url = 'http://digg.com/food_drink/Felony_Franks_and_other_restaurants_help_ex_cons_help_you'; If nobody hires ex-cons, then we shouldn't be shocked when they return to lives of crime. So, for the good of Chicago, go pick up a couple of hotdogs at Felony Franks. James Andrews, who owns the West Side dog joint, makes it a point to hire people who have done time, seeing it as a service to a ...Hawaii says "stay away" to the Wienermobile
Jul 24th, 2009 at 11:30AM: Apple pie, Baseball and the Wienermobile - seriously, there is not much more American than the iconic Oscar Mayer hotdog on wheels. People everywhere love seeing the Wienermobile, and contests are held yearly so people can get a chance to drive it themselves. Unless of course you live in Hawaii. An archaic 1927 law bans all billboards on the Hawaiian islands, and a local organization claims the ...Inside Curtain Bluff: yes, there are hotdogs
Jul 22nd, 2009 at 2:00PM: I can only imagine how Curtain Bluff Managing Director Rob Sherman is going to react when he stumbles upon this story focused solely on the hotdogs served at his incredibly upscale resort. Regular readers know the drill, though. If there's a hotdog somewhere in the world, I need to try it. Curtain Bluff's contribution will now stand alongside those from Reykjavik, Stockholm, East Anglia and ...See Chicago wieners (and others) on IgoUgo list
Jul 3rd, 2009 at 2:00PM: Chicago makes several appearances on IgoUgo's list of top hotdog establishments, but there are plenty of spots across the country where you can pick up a great hotdog. My favorite apparently made the cut – a shortcoming of the list, I guess. For me, it doesn't get better than Popo's, in Swampscott, MA, and my local shop, Gray's Papaya, is no slouch, either.
And, don't forget that there are ...A big small-town hotdog in East Anglia
Jul 2nd, 2009 at 8:00AM: Let's face it: Bury St. Edmunds doesn't have a lot going on. The Abbey Gardens are the main attraction – particularly the internet-enabled bench. So, it's pretty easy to see why entertainment alternatives are generally limited. There are some fine restaurants in this sleepy eastern England town, allowing you to eat quite well. But, I prefer to go as down-market as possible. So, I made it a ...Need a hotdog in Madrid? Try Chicago Hot Dogs
Jun 8th, 2009 at 8:00AM: I know that part of traveling aborad is experiencing new cuisine. And, Madrid's a great place to do that. Sometimes, though, you just have a jones for the familiar. Or, you're in the mood to dine 'n' dash. I get it. When you need a quick fix, a hotdog's the likely answer, and Chicago Hot Dog in Madrid is ready to deliver.
To be honest, Chicago Hot Dog's fare did not measure up to Sweden's ...SkyMall Monday: Pop-Up Hot Dog Cooker
Feb 16th, 2009 at 1:00PM: Fact: Americans love tube steak. Fact: I am wildly amused by the term "tube steak." Fact: You're reading SkyMall Monday. This week we solve the age-old problem that has flummoxed chefs, cooks and food preparers for, well, ages: How do I cook a hot dog? It's a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma on a toasted bun. Thankfully, our favorite catalog has, once again, come to the rescue. ...Hotel Hellsten a must in Stockholm
Jan 4th, 2009 at 9:00AM: You expect a certain sleekness when you step into a Scandinavian hotel. The region is known for its nascent design talent, and a pedestrian property would detract from your experience. To get the full flavor of Stockholm, park yourself at the Hotel Hellsten. Comfort and style come together easily in these boutique digs. You'll close your eyes in the warmth of a soft bed and open them to slick ...Photo of the Day (2/3/07)
Feb 3rd, 2007 at 6:23PM: While it does seem like awfully chilly and gloomy day in January, the warm glow from a hot dog stand in Vienna, Austria seems to be the most toasty and possibly tasty place in sight. This shot comes from StrudelMonkey out of the Gadling Flickr pool. ...
