Kosher Hot Dogs a Slam Dunk for Kansas Basketball

by Karen Schwartz – Chabad.org

Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel, left, who partnered with businessman Jim Badzin and concessioner Centerplate to bring kosher hot dogs to the University of Kansas men’s basketball games, enjoys the new stand with Sheldon, Megan and Cindy Singer.

Molly Rissien stepped up to the hot dog stand at Allen Field House and left happy. It was a first for the University of Kansas junior, who comes from a family of die-hard Jayhawk fans and goes to all the games. Since she keeps kosher, she could never partake in the long-time sporting event snack tradition. Until now.
