Thousands of free hot dogs were given away in front of Daley Bicentenniel Plaza today by Ball Park Franks. This is part of the Great Hot Dog Taste Challenge. A contest was held to see who could prepare the best tasting hot dog using whatever condiments or ordornments people desired. Some people came quite prepared and put on a real display in serving the hot dogs.
