Ramp pesto vegan hot dog! (Jen Carlson/Gothamist)
If eating meat by-products mixed with fat mixed with sodium nitrite just isn't your thing, that doesn't mean you have to miss out on the great July 4th tradition of the hot dog eating contest. Cowgirl's Baking is offering up something for the vegan set, and are inviting people to come sign up for their very own vegan hot dog eating contest this weekend. They say it's taking place "any time" from July 2nd to the 5th, and ask "How many vegan hot dogs can you eat?" We've reached out to the East Village spot for more details, and will update if we hear back... they do, however, promise prizes.
If eating mass quantities of any type of hot dog turns you off, stop by Asia Dog for a single, more special dog (they serve up vegan ones as well).
