Hot Doug’s Specials List – Closing and Kendall

May 7, 2014 Leave a comment

Hot Doug’s may not stay open forever (or it may …), so it’s worth it to take a look back … back to the college days. Young Mr. Sohn learned how to correctly place a wiener in a bun at Kendall College. And as such, he was honored with something or the other by Kendall in 2008. So, for a list in November 2008, I suggested other famous chef alums from Kendall who went on to great(er) things. I thought it was funny. Apparently, Doug did not, because he didn’t use this list. Also, I think he didn’t want to list some chefs if he didn’t list them all. The image is from Kendall College. Douggie ain’t in it.

Martyn Ware
Ian Craig Marsh
Ian Burden
Jo Callis
Susan Ann Sulley
Joanne Catherall
Philip Oakey

No, Human League. No I don't want you.

Hot Doug’s Specials – MTV 30-Year Anniversary 2011

August 13, 2011 Leave a comment

The thing about creating the Hot Doug’s Celebrity Sausage lists is … it’s supposed to make Doug laugh (and make me laugh). If we think it’s funny, then we go with it.

In 2011, MTV was celebrating a big 30-year anniversary. So I decided to go with VJs as the celebrity sausages. Martha Quinn? Mark Goodman? Nina Blackwood? Nope. Not funny.

We honored the VH1 VJs with this list.

Here’s Bobby Rivers with the one and only, Liza.

Hot Doug’s Specials – Backup Catchers

November 11, 2008 Leave a comment

Doug and I share a certain affinity for backup catchers. It takes a special breed to be the guy behind the guy who dons the tools of ignorance. For this November 11, 2008 list, I supplied Hot Doug’s with a list of Cubs’ backup catchers, since Doug is a big fan of that particular ballclub. I think we would both agree – Henry Blanco, man … HE was a backup catcher.

The List:

Koyie Hill
Jason Kendall
Rob Bowen
Henry Blanco
Paul Bako
Mike Difelice
Damian Miller
Josh Paul
Robert Machado

Henry Blanco

What the heck … here are the games played and the slash lines:

Koyie Hill 2007 – 2012 263 games .207/7/64
Jason Kendall 2007 57 games .270/1/19
