Welcome guys, so excited to be here today.

Today I'm here with Eric Mittenthal, who is the Vice President of Public Affairs for

the North American Meat Institute, as well as the President of the Hot Dog and Sausage

Council Eric Mittenthal.

Thank you so much for joining me here today.

Thanks for having me.

I'm very excited to be on.

Dude, I am so excited to actually talk to you about Hot Dog.

So last year, I heard about your Hot Dog Ambassador ship, regional, for the National

Hot Dog and Sausage Council, and I found out about it three days after the submissions

were due.

And I kind of lost my mind a little bit on the podcast because I was very upset that

I wasn't able to submit.

So ever since, it has been my year-long goal to become the Southwestern Hot Dog Ambassador

of 2019.

And I didn't, I wasn't really sure how to go about this, but I'm so happy that you met

up with me today.

So what is your job in tail?

So I'm the Hot Dog Top Dog.

My job is to lead the promotion of Hot Dogs and Sausages as the great all-American foods

that they are.

Hell yeah.
