The big picture: Bun roll, please. During one of her public relations classes last winter, she learned of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: A few "lucky dogs" could get hired to take the 27-foot frankfurter on wheels on a great hot-dog hiatus.

• She mustard up the courage the next day to apply. She had an initial interview on campus and then survived a final interview in Chicago.
• Now, the 21-year-old from Media is officially a "hotdogger," traveling the "sizzling South" with her co-pilot, Cookout Caroline.

Driving the news: Martin just graduated in May with degrees in public relations and Spanish before setting off on her Tour de Frank in June.

• She has adopted the alter ego "Nacho Dog Norah" and has already been to 10 states on what might be the glizziest gap year ever before she starts looking for a permanent job.

Zoom in: Frankly, she's getting great experience. A big part of the job is drumming up publicity for their tour stops along the way.

• When one of the hotdoggers is driving, the other posts on social media or reaches out to news outlets to spread the word about their upcoming public appearances.

That's how Axios found Martin after the Wienermobile rolled into New Orleans.

What they're saying: Martin says the paid, yearlong gig combines two of her favorite things: traveling and meeting new people.

• Creating smiles is "at the absolute center of everything we do," she told Axios on Monday while riding shotgun in the Wienermobile as Cookout Caroline drove toward Arkansas.

"When you're in rush-hour traffic, and you see the Wienermobile trying to merge in front of you, it's absolutely hilarious."

The latest: The hotdoggers recently surprised a 91-year-old woman in Mississippi, bringing her treasured "Wienermobilia," including rare Hot Wheels replicas and Wiener Whistles.

• Their next tour stops: Iowa, Nebraska, then Oklahoma City, where the ladies are planning a little R&R: a Congress the Band concert, one of the groups that falls on their "Venn diagram" of shared interests.

"We're kinda like sisters, so this is a family road trip every single day," Martin says, adding that she and Cookout Caroline even spend their off days together taking hikes, watching movies or binging reality TV.

Reality check: There's only one stop that would top the list for this Philly-area gal: an Eagles tailgate.

• And it could happen. Martin says she's not yet sure what region she'll be touring during the second half of the year, but she's hoping for the Northeast.

The bottom line: Like a savvy PR pro, she already knows what T-shirt she'd rock to maximize the buzz.

• "I love my country, Philadelphia," she says.
