We went to Iceland. On the shortlist: hotdogs.

It was February, the year’s best hotdog eating month.

Are hot dogs sandwiches?

The great John Hodgman and I are embroiled in a feud over that very question. I say yes, he says no. He’s even talked trash about me on his podcast.

On November 10 at the Bell House in Brooklyn, we’ll meet face-to-face for the first time to settle this once and for all, in a debate moderated by WNYC’s Brooke Gladstone, host of On The Media. The debate will be taped for a future episode of The Sporkful podcast.
