Meat and greet: Nostalgia served with a side of bad puns as Wienermobile rolls into town

IT WAS THE best of times, it was the wurst of times, as hot dog lovers took the opportunity to relish the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile on its Bay Area visit recently.

The bright yellow-and-orange vehicle shaped like a hot dog on a bun is a rolling promotion for Oscar Mayer, the well-known purveyor of meat and cold cuts. It was on display at the Cow Palace in Daly City this past Thursday and Friday, followed by weekend appearances in Martinez and Fremont.
