Just a steeltown grill on a Monday night, looking for the audiovisual karaoke of yer life. 🌭 🎶
That’s right, it’s the Memorial Day edition of HOT DOG HOT DOG: complete with classic Murph karaoke and Guitar Hero® eleganza. Add a side of DJ Orizaba spinning banger after banger, and you’re on a roll..er.
(Actually it’s reg & veg hot dogs on the roller, but bear with us as every installment backs us into even more tenuous wordplay about hot dogs.) Anyway, see you there! *pulls Flashdance bucket of dog water* 🪣
