National Geographic magazine is calling their readers to submit pictures of the famous state fair food the Corn Dog. This cousin of the much more popular hot dog, is a hot dog coated in cornbread batter and deep fried in hot oils. It's a favorite among the B4B crew.

This unique concoction of meat on a stick can be referenced at times by any of the following names:corn dog, pogo, dagwood dog, pluto pup or corny dog.

There is some debate as to the exact origins of the corn dog. According to Wikipedia, "A number of current corn dog vendors lay claim that credit for the invention and/or popularization of the corn dog goes towards Carl and Neil Fletcher for when they introduced their "Corny Dogs" at the Texas State Fair sometime between 1938 and 1942. The Pronto Pup vendors at the Minnesota State Fair claim to have invented the corn dog in 1941. Cozy Dog Drive-in, in Springfield, IL, claims to have been the first to serve corn dogs on sticks, in 1946. Also in 1946, Dave Barham opened the first location of Hot Dog on a Stick at Muscle Beach, Califorina.

If you're as much of a fan of the corn dog as we are, mark your calendars the first Saturday of March as National Corn Dog Day. This day is not only a celebration for corn dogs, but an overall holiday for basketball, beer and tator tots.

Last week Yum Brands announced a new direction on their image and marketing future. Probably triggered by the existing economic downturn the company part of the Pepsico group has decided to upgrade their services from simple delivery huts now into now full meal huts.

This Goliath, that contributed to develop and shape the fast food industry during the last 5 decades will be reinvented to "The Hut."


It will be interesting to see how this company will perform when leaving its existing comfort zone (the company launched its first IPO as PIZ) and adventuring into new blue oceans.

Hopefully this risky change (it is important to remember that Pizza Hut is a global iconic brand) can help to boost sales, relaunch its image and keep America's growing FF business flourishing.

Let's see if Jessica minds dropping the pizza...

It seem as though the Colonel is being restricted by the FCC to use the word "Eat" in their advertisements. According to a report by The Onion, "KFC’s claim that its fried offerings have ‘that taste you’ll just love to eat’ is in direct violation of federal regulations,” acting FCC chairman Michael Copps said. “The word ‘eat’ is legally permissible only in reference to substances appropriate for human consumption. Any implication that a consumer could or should ‘enjoy’ a KFC Crispy Strip fails to meet these standards, and presents an unlawful deception to consumers.”

Ouch...
