Summer and corn dogs are like winter and hot cider; you just hafta.

Welcome to Part V -the final installment- of the series of component dishes to make the transcendent ‘Second to Naanwich’ that has turned me into a slobbering idiot. I know it took a long time to get the whole series of recipes to you, but good things take time and this is all worth [...]
