1. Aaaaaand San Jose chokes again

literally.

2. The title remains in San Jose

Matt Stonie hails from San Jose.

4. No way!

If only we had a local hot dog maker, like every real city has, we could totally have a throwdown before the fireworks at Children's Discovery Museum!!

edit: And guess what I'm having for dinner! (well, only two).

[Brother Buzz]

5. Yes, way! You got to think outside the box and focus on regional foods totally unique to San Jose

There's gotta be a gut-bomb fast food chain restaurant that could step-up and underwrite it.

6. In the hot dog world, that would be Wienerschnitzel

Der fun since '61!

[Brother Buzz]

7. In my perfect world it would have been Doggie Diner®, a Bay Area institution since 1948

Times have been better.

8. I believe one of the heads still exists

but that is so not San Jose.

[Brother Buzz]

9. Many, if not all, of those heads still exist

For years I've been admiring one stashed out on Alameda Island. Snagging one and placing it in my front yard is on my bucket list. A steam shovel for the backyard is also on my bucket list. That, or a genuine steamroller (not one of those sissy gas or diesel powered jobs).

3. Trade Hot Dogs for Snyder's of Hanover Jalapeno Pretzel Pieces and I'd totally win.
