The Hot Dog Hooker is back!

Oct 23, 2012, 4:14 PM | Updated: Oct 24, 2012, 12:48 pm

Remember the Hot Dog Hooker? She’s back! She sent Dori an early Christmas card and says she wants to get in touch about a few things. So, we’re talking with her on Wednesday.

If you don’t recall, the Hotdog Hooker is Catherine Scalia, a 45-year old hot dog vendor who was busted for prostitution after allegedly selling more than frankfurters from her Long Island cart.

But Scalia insists she actually wasn’t selling sex. The former topless dancer told Dori she was merely offering to strip and lap dance, but she just happened to offer her services to an undercover cop.
