No food for cool cats (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hot dogs

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'no' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'food for cool cats' is the wordplay.
'food' becomes 'hot dog' (hot dog is a food product).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'cool cats' becomes 's' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'hotdog'+'s'='HOT-DOGS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hot dogs that I've seen before include "performs tricks in New York" , "Fast food items - sweaty hounds?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
