Looking for an affordable and fun gift for the holidays! The Hot Dog Diaries is the perfect choice.
Over the past eighty years, there have been too many beers and hot dogs consumed to count. But for all the beers poured and hot dogs prepared, there have been just as many laughs—probably more.
With this book, we revisited some good tales and memories from Gene’s Beer Garden we hope you enjoy.
