Watch as I attempt to eat 80 hot dogs in one summer

And no, I'm not going to do it all Takeru Kobayashi style. Bon Appetit has this thing in their most recent issue called "Around the World in 80 Hot Dogs" where they suggest 80 different hot dog variations.

Some of them sounded really nasty though, so I took them out, did a lot of internet research (thank you wikipedia) about regional hot dog styles, and have set out to eat 80 different hot dogs. You know what aggravates me? They left off the Chicago style. Bastards. Anyway, last night, Luz and I made some hot dogs (hers were Ball Park, mine were Hebrew Nationals (which are by far, the best hot dogs ever). Working with things I already had around the kitchen, I went with the Peking (hoisin and green onion) and the Japan (which called for wasabi and mayo, but when you have Kewpie wasabi mayo, I think you're pretty much covered. They were both pretty decent.
