Controversial Corner #2

Controversial corner is the part of the show where we share a question (perhaps a controversial one), we gather answers from our listeners and share some of them on the podcast. You can listen to Episode #7 here to listen to the second lot of answers, but this blog post features every answer we’ve received on the subject, and they are definitely worth a read.

The hot dog, he explains time and again, is in a classification of its own.
