From The Desk Of Jon Glaser: Coney Island Hot Dogs

You may recognize Jon Glaser, but probably only if he’s wearing a black ski mask. The NYC-based comedian writes, stars in and does pretty much everything else for Adult Swim’s Delocated, a reality-show spoof about a man in witness protection after testifying against the Russian mafia. This is where the ski mask comes in: To protect his identity from his television audience (and, obviously, the Russian mafia), Glaser’s character, aptly named Jon, wears a black ski mask and has his voice surgically distorted. Glaser started his career at Chicago’s esteemed Second City, and he’s since appeared in TV shows and films alongside some of his fellow comedians, with credits such as 30 Rock, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Baby Mama and as voice talent in Aqua Teen Hunger Force. He spent five years writing and performing at Late Night With Conan O’Brien and recently published his first book, My Dead Dad Was In ZZ Top. Season three of Delocated is currently underway, and it’s well worth getting into. Wanna get to know the man behind the mask? Glaser will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our brand new Q&A with him.

Glaser: The Coney Island dog is a hot dog with chili, mustard and onions. You will not find a better Coney outside of the Detroit area. I grew up in the Detroit suburbs; my family is all still in Michigan, and I make sure to make a trip to have Coneys every time I visit. My favorite is Leo’s. For my money, they also have the best Greek salad. Fuck, I want one right now. I want two Coneys, extra onions, fries, Greek salad and a coke. Fuck.
