Related to the hotdog theme for today, here’s a pretty great clip of Bill Murray filling in for Harry caray in ‘87. I remember watching this game at the time. It’s pretty great to have Murray do the whole game and just goof off. There are some other clips on youtube from the broadcasts. WGN broadcasts with Harry and Steve Stone are some of my favorite MLB memories. I think Steve Stone is filling in on White Sox broadcasts at the moment, but I haven’t been able to catch one yet.
“The writer begins by describing the combination of euphoria and fear he felt while eating a frankfurter sandwich—an act forbidden by his mother—on an Istanbul sidewalk in 1964.”
–Abstract from a paywalled awesome NYer article about street food in 60s Turkey. Plus the guy keeps calling them ‘frankfurter sandwiches’ which is weird because the article as it appears in the NYer is a translation. Apparently the NYer relies on Google Translate nowadays.
translating it “frankfurter sandwich” is the equivalent of nazis in the movies speaking english with a german accent.
regardless, that abstract is amazing. it would be fun to write those.
Turns out The New Yorker does not own thenewyorker.com

I still dig those kimchi hot dogs.
Ah, the book mentioned in the article is on Amazon now.
