  • I haven’t been to Dodgers, but they have a reputation for being a pretty terrible hotdog due to the sponsor being mediocre.

    On the flip side, all of the Chicago stadiums are sponsored by the best in the business, Vienna.

    When I was more directly involved in lower-scale hotdog slinging, we’d get a similar result by holding the buns in a steam table, making them warm and fluffy. Boil a pack of hotdogs, finish them on the grill… A boil-grilled Vienna 6" 6:1 on an S. Rosen (Alpha Baking) 5" bun with diced onion, celery salt, mustard, and ketchup… Perfection.

    Pretty much everywhere in the Chicago region uses the exact same hotdog bun you can get in every grocery store here. Most stores don’t carry the poppyseed variant though.


  • Great clickbait headline.

    In an appeal against the dismissal of Abrego Garcia’s prosecution, the DOJ is arguing that vindictive prosecution can only apply if the prosecution adds additional charges and does not apply to the original charge.

    They argue it is a protection against a prosecutor punishing the defendant for exercising their rights in court, not a protection against charges brought as punishment in the first place.

    If the district appeals court agrees with them, they will be able to charge a bunch of people in that district with made-up crimes and trial judges will be greatly restricted in dismissing them until the Supreme Court hears this case.
