Hot Dog Quotes

A Hot dog is: “A cartridge filled with the sweepings of abattoirs.”
H.L. Mencken (1880-1956)
American journalist and writer.
 

“The hot dog, as the phrase runs, seems to have come to stay. Even the gastroenterologists have given up damning it.....I am informed by reliable spies that at their convention in Atlantic City last May they consumed huge quantities.....and with no apparent damages to their pylorus.”
H.L. Mencken (1880-1956)
 

“Some people wanted champagne and caviar when they should have had beer and hot dogs.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969)
 

"I devoured hot-dogs in Baltimore 'way back in 1886, and they were then very far from newfangled....The contained precisely the same rubber, indigestible pseudo-sausages that millions of Americans now eat, and they leaked the same flabby, puerile mustard. Their single point of difference lay in the fact that their covers were honest German Wecke made of wheat-flour baked to crispiness, and not the soggy rolls prevailing today, of ground acorns, plaster-of-Paris, flecks of bath-sponge, and atmospheric air all compact."
H.L. Mencken
American journalist and writer. (1880-1956)
 

“The main problem in marriage is that, for a man, sex is a hunger - like eating. If a man is hungry and can't get to a fancy French restaurant, he'll go to a hot dog stand.”
Joan Fontaine
