Hot dogs may not have originated in the U.S., but for countless Americans, they represent the epitome of comfort, whether eaten from a humble street cart, at a backyard barbeque or \u2013 even more memorably \u2013 at the ballpark.
This week on the podcast, we\u2019re chatting with Hank Stiehl, co-owner of Riley\u2019s Good Dogs, a nascent mobile food concept that\u2019s banking on America\u2019s love for the hot dog with a menu of both plant-based and meat-based hot dogs and sausages that takes the classic comfort food to new levels. From dreaming up innovative sausage-based combinations to creating a business model that\u2019s as good to the earth as it is to customers\u2019 stomachs, we\u2019re getting to the bottom of Riley\u2019s dog- and people-friendly concept to find out what makes their \u201cgood dogs\u201d some of the best of the bunch.
