Synopsis

Rick Sebak takes viewers on an all-American celebration of one of the country's most popular fast foods, exploring the history and culture of the hot dog. Traveling from Connecticut to South Carolina to California, he visits some of the nation's coolest hot dog places, including a giant hot dog-shaped building, and stops by a few unusual late-night stands. He also examines how hot dogs are made and looks into how and when they became so popular, as well as what toppings are most favored today.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
