I like to think of dime-a-dog night at my local minor league park as a successful food festival: $10-20 for a ticket, then *ahem* 30 cents in hot dogs.

well then you should have provided a longer clip to lend proper context.

Is it cheaper for the same sammy? No, deli will make it better than your bullshit home reuben.

You folks at Gawker Media need to get on the same page when it comes to Reubens. Per Burneko:
