Here are restaurants in the Milwaukee area to get a hot dog on National Hot Dog Day July 16

National Hot Dog Day – which is Wednesday, July 16 – is your chance to find a tasty hot dog to try, with many area restaurants featuring the item on its menu.

And here is a fun fact about hot dogs: They are a good source of protein. According to USA Today, hot dogs normally have 5 grams of protein.

While it can be mixed if hot dogs are healthy or not, some argue putting vegetables as toppings can assist with hot dogs being part of a healthy diet.

“They are healthy because they are natural, all beef with lots of veggies,” said Reannen Anderson, owner of Waukesha-based food truck, Big John’s Burgers and Dogs in Waukesha.

These are many Milwaukee-area restaurants to grab a hot dog.

Milwaukee Brewers Flamethrower Jacob Misiorowski Has Historic Night Against Yankees – World Baseball Network

Milwaukee Brewers Flamethrower Jacob Misiorowski Has Historic Night Against Yankees – World Baseball Network

The Milwaukee Brewers shut out the New York Yankees in a 6-0 victory on Friday night, and Jacob Misiorowski was dominated at a historic level.

In the first two innings of Friday night’s game, Misiorowski threw eight of the 10 fastest pitches ever by a starting pitcher. Of those eight, seven are now the fastest pitches ever thrown by a starting pitcher, according to Codify Baseball.

Misiorowski’s velocity has been a major topic of discussion ever since he made his debut last season. He lights up the radar gun early in games, but usually sees his velocity drop as the game goes on. However, in the fifth inning, he was able to throw a 103 mph fastball to Ryan McMahon. He also threw a 102.7 mph fastball to Cody Bellinger in the sixth inning.

Misiorowski leads all of baseball in strikeouts, notching his 70th strikeout of the season in the sixth inning of Friday’s game. Misiorowski has a 2.45 ERA on the season and had 11 strikeouts against the Yankees. The 60 fastest pitches thrown by a starting pitcher this season all belong to the Brewers ace.

It was Misiorowski’s first time facing the Yankees, and it was not just fans who were left in awe. Spencer Jones, the Yankees’ No. 6 prospect, made his MLB debut on Friday night and felt happy to just foul a pitch off against the flamethrowing righty.

“I’ve never seen pitches that hard in my life,” Jones said after the game, per MLB.com’s Adam McCalvy. “To foul off a couple is pretty great, so I’ll take that for now.”

Misiorowski’s teammate, Sal Frelick, was also in disbelief when Misiorowski kept touching triple digits late in the game.

“I kept looking up at the velo after every pitch as he got deep,” Frelick said per McCalvy. “I couldn’t believe it.”

Misiorowski picked a great night to showcase his best stuff. CC Sabathia was in the house to be inducted into the Brewers Wall of Honor, and he gave Misiorowski a glowing endorsement before the game.

“I love Misiorowski,” said Sabathia, per McCalvy. “I think he’s going to be a great pitcher.

“Honestly, he reminds me of myself as a young pitcher.”

If Misiorowski can become the type of player Sabathia was, he will be breaking records for years to come. He has played his best in big games so far in his career, but he is still only 24 and getting better with every start.

He credited adrenaline to his sustained velocity on Friday, so it makes sense that he has his best stuff in big games.
