People ask me in Europe, when they do interviews... they ask me, 'Well, how does it feel to be a cook in a country that doesn't know how to eat?' It always touches a nerve, because Europe and the world think that America is no more than bad hot dogs and bad burgers.

When you go to watch a baseball game, when you go to watch an NBA game, when you watch an NFL game, when you go to watch movies, the offering that those arenas are doing foodwise is 'all the hot dogs you can eat'; all the French fries you can eat; for $20 you can eat 20 hot dogs.

Is the chemical aftertaste the reason why people eat hot dogs, or is it some kind of bonus?

I don't eat vegetables. I only eat food like cheeseburgers, Spam, hot dogs and pizza.

I like the hot dogs at Dodger Stadium.

Edible names are what drives me as a musician. My next band will be called the Hot Dogs.
