The answer? Occasionally on the golf course, but not really.
It’s heartbreaking, yet unsurprising news.
Phil’s rumored hot dog admiration started when hot take Toronto Sun columnist Steve Simmons penned a column saying a hot dog vendor in Toronto lost his most reliable customer when Kessel was traded to Pittsburgh. The story was proved as likely fake. But it stuck with Kessel, who even trolled the living shit out of Simmons after he won the Stanley Cup.
