I’ll never forget how happy my dad looked with his Nathan’s hot dog! We’d watched two years of the International Hot Dog eatting contest on ESPN (yes, they really show it) and this and the freak show were the only two things he talked about seeing when we were planning our trip to NYC.

He was laughing and smiling and didn’t look at all like he had cancer. I love this picture because it looks like the dad I remember, not the sick dad I see everyday. It was worth our whole trip to New York just to get it!
