Do you like baseball? How about hot dogs? Put the two together and you could have yourself a pretty sweet summer job.
Casino review site BonusFinder is looking for a “Major League Baseball Professional Food Tester.” It’s more of a contest than an actual job and the winner will get $500 plus a food and travel budget to visit MLB ballparks across the country and sample their respective hot dogs.
If chosen, you’ll have to review the stadium hot dogs based on appearance, color, flavor complexity, the quality of the meat and bun, sauce and topping generosity, and value for the money. You’d also be expected to judge the games themselves based on quality, entertainment, stadium atmosphere, and overall excitement.
Watching baseball and eating snacks sounds like a great way to spend the summer. The application is on the BonusFinder website. You must be 21 or older and apply by May 2nd. The winner will be selected by May 5th.
