Daily Download: “What I Say and What I Mean,” The Like

Music from an L.A. buzz band of three teenage girls.

Topics:

L.A. band The Like is made up of three of the best-connected young ladies in the music industry: Singer/guitarist Z Berg, bassist Charlotte Froom and drummer Tennessee Thomas are the daughters of powerhouse A&R man Tony Berg, genius producer Mitchell Froom and Elvis Costello drummer Pete Thomas, respectively. Which is not to say that their deal with Dreamworks was just a matter of networking: Nepotism ain’t what it used to be — just ask Martha Wainwright — and the dads passed on plenty of talent along with all those contacts.

    7 ways Americans have defiled the hot dog

    Sonic's Bacon Double Cheddar Croissant Dog

    Sonic calls this a "gourmet twist" on a classic. I am not so, so fancy, but I know that sprinkling bacon and cheddar cheese onto a tube of pork is not gourmet, even if you have made a bun out of something that is theoretically French.

    Krispy Kreme's Doughnut Dog

    This stupid thing is a hotdog in a glazed doughnut bun, topped with bacon and raspberry jelly. It is only available at Delaware's Frawley Stadium, thank god.

    Pizza Hut

    7 ways Americans have defiled the hot dog

    Pizza Hut's Hot Dog Bites Pizza

    Pizza Hut basically just glued pigs-in-blankets to the crust of its normal pizza. This actually sounds good, and I blame America for brainwashing me into feeling that.

    Carl's Jr. Most American Thick Burger

    Tokyo Dog's Juuni Ban

    A food truck in Seattle called Tokyo Dog created this thing, which is notable for its distinction as the Guinness Book of World Records' most expensive hot dog at $169. It is a smoked cheese bratwurst, covered in butter Teriyaki grilled onions, Maitake mushrooms, Wagyu beef, foie gras, black truffles, caviar and Japanese mayo in a brioche bun. Just calm down, Tokyo Dog. Calm down.
