Month: April 2010
Hello, heart burn!
Welcome to With Mustard And Relish, a blog about eating hot dogs. Good hot dogs, bad hot dogs, gourmet hot dogs, cheap hot dogs from Single-A baseball stadiums in North Carolina. All hot dogs. Because if you’re going to make a life list, at least one entry should give you heartburn; and if you’re going…
