Now Steve Lackmeyer is beefing with the Bricktown Hot Dog Cart

Move over Oklahoma City Streetcar. There's a new mobile apparatus on Steve Lackmeyer's shit list.

A couple of nights ago, I received a text message from an Ogle Mole asking if I was going to write about Steve Lackmeyer's new beef with Hot Dog OKC – the venerable Bricktown hot dog cart that ignited local controversy in 2017 after the OKC Twitter Sensitivity Police learned it sold sophomoric politically incorrect t-shirts. (You can read Louis' food review of the cart here).

Always a sucker for controversy that I can quickly flip into page views, web traffic and advertising dollars, I quickly hopped on Twitter to see what was happening. That was a mistake! I was greeted by a hard-to-follow narrative of Twitter hot takes, think-tweets and everyday insults that covered a variety of topics ranging from homelessness to media competition to fat shaming to sticks poking eyes out.

Being the lazy guy I am, I asked our Twitter followers to help unpack what happened.
