Thank you SO MUCH for being here! It would mean the world to me if you clicked on the HEART button at the bottom of this post or left a comment; it really helps spread the word about my newsletter. Better yet: recommend this newsletter to a friend you think would enjoy reading or become a paid subscriber to help support me in continuing to create content to share with you.
I’m proud of myself for not saying LET’S KETCHUP in the headline of this post. I feel like I failed, but I also feel like I’ve grown. Life is funny like that.
Anyway…It’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through 2026. Time keeps moving entirely too fast. I’m not complaining, though. I hope summer goes fast because I can’t wait for fall and winter. Don’t get me wrong, I like summer, but I really prefer the cooler months and temperatures. My hair does not appreciate the humidity, either.
The Hot Dog Cookbook came out TWO MONTHS AGO (!!!). It’s been a wild ride and I’m so grateful for all of your support. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST.
I wanted to catch you up on some fun press things ICYMI.
BUT FIRST! I wanted to remind everyone to please preorder my newest cookbook, Cheesy. It comes out September 8 and features 50 cheese-filled recipes, all very seasonal and cute and I can’t wait for you to get hold of it.
ALSO!!!! (and this is BIG)…I’m leading a trip to SICILY IN OCTOBER 2027!!!!! Can you believe I’ve never been to SICILY?!?! Wild, I know, but it’s finally time! Who’s coming with me?? The exact dates are October 5-18. We’ll be having an informational webinar on September 24 at 7pm. Register here. LET’S GOOOOOOO.
And now, the ketchup: (not sorry)
Lots of hot dog videos on my YouTube channel. I just posted a new one with the G.O.A.T., Meyhem Lauren, on Sunday and a video a few weeks ago with Frank Pinello. Check them out! and please don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can stay up to date with all the fun.
I educated the folks at Bon Appetit on how to throw a hot dog party (this will come in handy this summer, def check it out).
The HDCB (that’s an abbreviation of The Hot Dog Cookbook moving forward) was reviewed in Book Page. See below, it got a very nice review

I was on the Today Show! Watch it here if you didn’t catch me live, or if you just love Al Roker.

I also had an absolute blast with Dave Arnold on Cooking Issues. Listen here for that one.
I mentioned before that I was up in Boston a few weeks ago with Island Creek Oysters and Trina’s Starlight Lounge. A couple weeks ago, I was at Bold Fork Books and Ekiben! Thank you to everyone that came out to all the events.
And there’s def more to come!
I’ll also be heading to Chicago in a couple weeks to visit my friend Elana, canoe camping on the Delaware Water Gap, swimming at the beaches of Rhode Island, watching the O’s play the Mets at Citifield, and crabbing on the Chesapeake Bay.
What are you getting into this summer? Hopefully eating some hot dogs!!
