My eighteen-month stint as a vegetarian was obliterated in ‘06 by the consumption of a 5-inch hotdog at Yankee Stadium. My rationale being that it was a long held ambition based on 20 years of American TV. If I were still ‘anti-meat’ today, 399 would be forcing a second transgression. On Tuesdays they’re serving up Chicago-style hotdogs with a tomato and shallot mix, hot chillis and American mustard. This coupled a Plymouth gin Martini (however you take it) for twenty bucks.
