I’ll Have a Dodger Dog With Everything, Some Peanuts and a Beer
Thomas Arthur has served his last Dodger Dog. Arthur borrowed the foot-long hot dog idea from Coney Island and transplanted it out West to feed the L.A. Dodger faithful. After receiving a few snide remarks that his 10 inch long hot dogs were not really a “foot-long” Arthur coined the term Dodger Dog. Arthur served up Dodger Dogs from about 1962 right up until he sold his company in 1991. His view? A simple menu of Dogs, peanuts, soda and beer. And so we understand that amoungst major league ballparks Dodger statium was No. 1 with nearly 1.7 million hot dogs consumed. Wrigley Field and Denver’s Coors Field trailed with about 1.5 million (according to the latest figures compiled by the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council).
Oh…and lest we forget…Happy Birthday Dad.
