fullDescription

One of BookPage's Best Audiobooks of 2023
"Loftus is a charming narrator...goofy, engaging, and always game to do a silly voice." —The New York Times
"There's something terribly irresistible about her narration, which is often incredibly funny." —BookPage
Part travelogue, part culinary history, all capitalist critique—comedian Jamie Loftus's debut, Raw Dog, will take you on a cross-country road trip in the summer of 2021, and reveal what the creation, culture, and class influence of hot dogs says about America now.
"Wise and funny" —ANDY RICHTER

"Gonzo yet vulnerable" —GABE DUNN

"Hot dog Moby-Dick" —BRANSON REESE

"Revealing, funny, sad, horny, and insatiably curious" —SARAH MARSHALL

"A wild ride" —ROBERT EVANS

"Deeply incisive and hilariously honest" —JACK O'BRIEN
Hot dogs. Poor people created them. Rich people found a way to charge fifteen dollars for them. They're high culture, they're low culture, they're sports food, they're kids' food, they're hangover food, and they're deeply American, despite having no basis whatsoever in America's Indigenous traditions. You can love them, you can hate them, but you can't avoid the great American hot dog.
Raw Dog: The Naked Truth About Hot Dogs is part investigation into the cultural and culinary significance of hot dogs and part travelog documenting a cross-country road trip researching them as they're served today. From avocado and spice in the West to ass-shattering chili in the East to an entire salad on a slice of meat in Chicago, Loftus, her pets, and her ex eat their way across the country during the strange summer of 2021. It's a brief window into the year between waves of a plague that the American government has the resources to temper, but not the interest.
So grab a dog, lay out your picnic blanket, and dig into the delicious and inevitable product of centuries of violence, poverty, and ambition, now rolling around at your local 7-Eleven.
"One of the freshest and most insightful new comedic voices of this decade." —LINDSAY ELLIS
A Macmillan Audio production from Forge Books.

     Comedian Loftus (writer and host of the limited-run podcasts Ghost Church and My Year in Mensa) takes listeners on a wild ride, crisscrossing the country in a hilarious and eye-opening quest to root out the essence of the American hot dog. Narrating her own book with raucous delight, Loftus describes her adventures with her cat, dog, and then-boyfriend during the summer of 2021. Throughout her journey, which sometimes required her to consume upwards of four hot dogs a day, Loftus sampled Spaghetti-O hot dogs in Albuquerque, a deep-fried bologna dog in Baltimore, and cheap but tasty dogs in Home Depot and Costco. Loftus seasons her account with social commentary, historical details, and personal reflections, including unsettling revelations about deep-seated sexism and racism at the annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, horrifying descriptions of the meatpacking industry, and musings on COVID, capitalism, baseball, and more. Loftus's lively, joyful narration allows listeners to feel her outrage, curiosity, and wonder. While her raunchy humor may not suit all tastes, her enthusiastic delivery is infectious. VERDICT Loftus's dive into all things hot dog, generously spiced with trivia, cultural critique, and travel tips, is hilarious and heartening. A winner for fans of offbeat food writing, regional travelogues, and irreverent humor.--Sarah Hashimoto

   • content: Author Jamie Loftus is right at home as the narrator of her first book. Loftus traveled across the U.S. in the summer of 2021 with her pets and boyfriend, sampling the various hot dogs at each location. Beyond giving a snappy description of the different flavors and dressings each dog contains, Loftus also dives into their history and relays some social commentary surrounding these "meat tubes." The heart of this journey is Loftus's return to her father's home to help him recover from surgery following lung cancer. Loftus delivers her material with the same sarcasm and plucky spirit no matter what she is detailing--be it the specs of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile (now called the The Frankmobile) or how COVID affected the hot dog industry.
