Frankfort’s Hot Dog Fest
What’s more all-American than a hot dog? And (with a nod to its German ancestry), the Indiana town of Frankfort holds a Hot Dog Fest each summer.
This year’s edition is the 18th event. It’s scheduled for July 27 and 28, 2012, in downtown Frankfort, Indiana (map).
You never know what’ll be rolling into town for the foodie fest. Last year, the “top dog” was a semi-truck-sized grill weighing in at 53,000 pounds and measuring 65 feet long, 20 feet high and 6 feet in diameter. Using 10 grillers, it prepared 2,500 sausages an hour.
