History in hot doggery
I got started on this hot dog thing, now i can seem to let it go..ha!… finding out that my obsession with all things NYC and hot dog, is well settled in my DNA as a NYC native. I came acrosss this shot of Ebbets Field (Brooklyn, you knew that right?), during a game of some sort, (baseball perhaps?) on Shorpy’s. Unfortunately as we found out in books like The Jungle, much of the food, medicine and beverage of that era and location was tainted with all manner of filler, snake oil and danger. Amazing anyone survived those early days of the Industrial Revolution, it truly was a dangerous time.
