About the Hot Dog Cookoff

After three years of hot dog cookoffs in Kara's backyard, the 4th Annual Hot Dog Cookoff is moving up the street to a bigger, better venue at Kelso Brewery. This culinary competition and fundraiser has raised over $4,500 for local charities including BARC Animal Shelter and the Food Bank of New York City. For a review of last year's event which was co-hosted by the lovely Cathy Erway of Not Eating Out in NY check out Serious Eats and photos here.

About City Harvest

City Harvest, a non-profit organization founded in 1982, is the world's first and New York City's only food rescue program. Now serving New York City for more than 25 years, City Harvest is the world's first food rescue organization, dedicated to feeding the city's hungry men, women, and children. This year, City Harvest will collect 26 million pounds of excess food from all segments of the food industry, including restaurants, grocers, corporate cafeterias, manufacturers, and farms. This food is then delivered free of charge to more than 600 community food programs throughout New York City using a fleet of trucks and bikes as well as volunteers on foot. Each week, City Harvest helps over 260,000 hungry New Yorkers find their next meal.
