I’ve been working in the media world since the days before the internet existed, starting my career as an assistant for a small publisher at Time Inc. Eventually, I went on to hold editorial roles at Martha Stewart Living, InTouch, and OK! magazines, and contributed to titles such as Travel + Leisure and Brides. On the digital front, I oversaw content for the websites for The Oprah Winfrey Show and The View, and managed People.com’s day-to-day operations as deputy editor. While at People.com, I had the opportunity to join the parent company’s first commerce team, spearheading the shoppable content strategy for brands including People, InStyle, Essence, and Entertainment Weekly. I was excited by this new world of e-commerce and loved providing readers with the best products to suit their lifestyle. That ultimately led me to Apartment Therapy Media, where I currently oversee a team dedicated to testing and writing about products that can help anyone create a healthy, happy home on any budget. (I’m a bargain hunter and never pay full price.) Whether you’re looking for a new sofa, a nonstick frying pan, or a dreamy comforter, we’ll tell you which ones are worth your money.

Labor Day weekend is almost here, which means summer is coming to a close. But there’s still plenty of time to savor everything great about the season: the sun, spending time outside, and, of course, the flavors. One of our favorite summer eats, which has also become a runaway hit with The Kitchn readers, is Kansas City Steak Co. all-beef hot dogs. Our editors discovered these game-changing franks at QVC’s Foodie Fest in June and have been tossing them on their grills ever since. Here’s why.

Sold in packages of 16, Kansas City Steak Co.’s hot dogs are made of 100% beef, not scraps and inexpensive cuts like most supermarket products. “It still tastes like a hot dog, but it’s cleaner,” says Kansas City Steak Co. founder, Ralph Pallarino. “It’s beefier. It’s got a real edginess to it. And people really love these.”

He’s not joking. Our editors were seriously impressed when they sampled the hot dogs at QVC’s Foodie Fest. “I could tell right away that the quality was better than other hot dogs,” says Commerce Assistant Editor, Morgan. “Others don’t come close. Definitely worth stocking up on over the summer!”
