How do you share your travel stories on social media? Perhaps a check-in on Facebook or a glimpse of a historical landmark on your Instagram stories. Well, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates chooses food as a medium for telling the world which city he is in. Food plays a big role in shaping the cultural landscape of any place and Gates knows it well. Acknowledging the most popular food from a city, he gives it a spot on his social media handle, thereby revealing where he is.

In his latest Instagram post, Bill Gates can be seen ordering a hot dog from a street cart in New York. “One hot dog please,” he asks the street vendor in Times Square. The clip then follows the delicious preparation of a hog dog while Gates nods along and watches the process. The street cart owner heats the sausage and stir-fries some veggies. He then places the sausage on a bun and adds mustard sauce along with other condiments and veggies on the hot dog. The dish is quickly ready, wrapped and served. Gates takes a bite of the hot dog, looking pleased with his order.
