actually you can cut up hot dogs into little pieces or take the top off the bun to eat it. They're moist so it works. I think that's how Jack started, he loves hot dogs and was determined to work around the trismus. Now he can eat them with no problem. Street carts with hot dogs is a big NYC thing. Of course dunking in the cup of water works too but it's very Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Contest. Steve, pizza and quality time with your son? Not too shabby.
