Ever wonder what goes into making the perfect hot dog? This week on Meet Your Maker, Rachel Wharton and John Taggart are joined in the studio by Tony Fragogiannis and Bull Mulholland, the owners of The Brooklyn Hot Dog Company. Learn how to get that nice 'snap' in your dog, and find out what blends of meat make for juicier bites. Listen in to hear Tony and Bill talk about their idea for The Brooklyn Hot Dog Company, and how the crowd at Mulholland's bar likes their dogs to be fixed. Hear about the duo's background in charcuterie, and how making hot dogs is different than most other types of salumi. Learn about the company's inspiration, and what's in store for the team in the months and years to come! This program has been sponsored by 360 Cookware.
