This week on FYI Philly, it's the dog days of summer. We dive into Philadelphia Magazine's list of best hotdogs. Then check out pies that are fried, and pies that are super-sized. We're summer day tripping down the shore and up the northeast extension for music and family fun. Plus, we go backstage for Cirque du Soleil's mind-blowing show. FYI Philly airs Saturdays at 7 p.m. and encores Sundays at midnight.
