Jerry Waters Radio Talk Show in Charleston


On Friday two of our local bloggers, Jackie Lantern and The Film Geek, where guests on a local AM talk show. The discussion was heavy about this blog and WVHotDogs.com. Charles live-blogged the show here.

After the show I took Jackie and The Film Geek to lunch at Chris' and they brought their new friend Jerry Waters and his producer Andy Albertini along. Now Jerry is an old Charleston boy and knows what he likes on his hot dogs and is pretty particular about how they are served. To say he didn't care for Chris' is an understatement. He railed about how the toppings didn't cover the weenie and how the bun wasn't steamed and how the onions were too hot. Regular listeners of Jerry's show know that he's not too quick to dole out compliments. 'Nuff said.

Well, in spite of Jerry's complaining about what I know is a first-class hot dog joint, I still found him to be a good guy and I really appreciated him promoting blogging and especially promoting this blog. I was eager to check my sitemeter today to see how all of the publicity had affected my traffic. Unfortunately there was no appreciable bump. I guess both of Jerry's regular listeners must've been at the doctor.

But thanks anyway, Jerry. It was fun.

Article on M & M Dairy Bell and WVhotdogs.com

In its Wednesday, February 21 edition, the Ironton Tribune ran an article on M & M Dairy Bell receiving a 5-weenie rating from my review of the hot dog joint. I spoke with the reporter over the phone yesterday and elaborated upon why I believe that M & M is the best hot dog joint in the Huntington area.

The article also gives some background and history of the establishment and their stellar hot dog sauce.

Check it out here.
