As summer sizzles in Baltimore, foodies are gearing up for what we call "Brat Summer." Food social media influencer Chris Franzoni has put together an ultimate guide that's got locals and visitors buzzing about the best spots to grab a delicious hot dog or sausage. Whether you're a traditionalist who can't resist a classic ballpark frank, or you're looking for gourmet options piled high with toppings, this summer's food scene promises something for everyone. So grab your friends and embark on a flavorful adventure through the city's most mouth-watering hot dog joints!

But music lovers, don’t think we’ve forgotten about you! During the thrill of Brat Summer, an incredible performance by the Japanese-born singer Mitski stole the show at All Points East festival. Known for her deep, emotive lyrics and captivating stage presence, Mitski delivered a remarkable headline set that had fans singing along to her whole catalog. From heart-wrenching ballads to upbeat anthems, she took her audience on an unforgettable musical journey that intertwined perfectly with the sensory delights of summer.

In this unique blend of hot dogs and heartfelt melodies, it's easy to see how Baltimore is the ultimate summer party destination. Imagine enjoying a gourmet hot dog piled high with toppings while swaying to Mitski’s soulful tunes, creating a perfect combo of culinary and musical enjoyment. Your taste buds will thank you for diving into the vibrant food scene while your ears will be forever grateful for the moving soundscapes that only Mitski can deliver.

As you enjoy this whirlwind summer of Brat and beats, remember that June is National Hot Dog Month! And on a fun note, did you know that the first recorded hot dog eating contest took place in New York City in 1916? Meanwhile, Mitski has an interesting connection to New Zealand as well; her song “Nobody” burst into the charts globally, and listening to it while munching on hot dogs feels like the perfect soundtrack to a summer day!
