Subject: BS: HOT DOGS From: olddude Date: 22 Aug 08 - 12:17 PM Ah - the dog days of summer, the hot sun, the fresh corn, the sunsets over the great lake and the local Arts and Crafts Festival. It just doesn't get any better does it? I love to walk around, looking at all of the art, talking to all of the people. The smell of the Food! The barbequed chicken, Kettle corn, funnel cakes and the very best of all ... OH YES! HOT DOGS! ... I freely admit that I am a hot dog junky. It is a great gift from god to mankind. One of my prize possessions is the Green Weiner that was given out in the 70's to the Pittsburgh Steeler Fans. More than once I thought, maybe just maybe - with a little ketchup ... Even my pets reflect my passion for the Hot Dog; they are - of course - wiener dogs. I light a candle in church to the guy who invented that tasty little morsel. I have eaten the hot dog with mustard, relish, barbequed, fried, grilled, baked, burned, seasoned, chopped, sliced, frozen, and even dipped in some mystery sauce. I think part of my love came from growing up in a small Pennsylvania town. No one in my town had any money - although, cousin Eddie did have a birthmark on his neck that looked a lot like a mercury dime - we did however, have HOT DOGS! My mom could turn that savory little item into a seven-course meal that would satisfy even the most discerning pallet. The great chefs of the world all have a specialty. Some specialize in French cuisine, others do pastry or bread. Give my mom a can of anything and a pack of hot dogs and people would write songs in praise to her. She is a true master! The most terrifying moment I had as a child was in fourth grade. That moment scarred me so bad that if I spent years in counseling, I would not get over that tragic event. It all started when Sister Rose - (I went to a catholic school) told the class that if we were really good, we would have a very special treat that afternoon. Everyone had visions of candy or pop or some other sweet sensation. Our class was on their best behavior waiting for the treat to follow. That afternoon she decided it was time for the special treat. Out of her desk came packs and packs of hot dogs, they were partly frozen but hey!! She brought out buns and a big stick of butter. She covered the half frozen dogs with butter and gave one to every kid. I was in heaven, I met god, it wasn't a man, and it was sister Rose! So what if it was frozen, so what if it had butter, it was a hot dog! After giving us the special treat, sister Rose left the room. My cousin Eddie noticed the window partly open - our class was on the third floor - He tossed his hot dog out the window. If sister Rose did not find it in the garbage, then it must have been eaten right? The other kids watching the event-taking place proceeded to launch their hot dogs out the very same window. With a look of horror on my face known only to soldiers in battle or women in childbirth - I stood, shocked, with tears of sorrow running down my cheek. Twenty-eight wieners flying out the window! Oh the Humanity! It is time for me to go, I am starting to shake ... I have to find my grill! |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: RangerSteve Date: 22 Aug 08 - 12:55 PM I'm having hotdogs tonight for supper, from an Amish butcher here in Flemington, NJ. I'll probably head down the road later to the nearest farm stand and get some fresh corn on the cob. I prefer my dogs simple, just mustard and relish. Don't care for rolls, either, just a slice of Pepperidge Farm bread (any kind) wrapped around it. For an occasional tread, I'll get some Pillsbury crescent rolls, put some mustard and relish on them, then roll them around some dogs and bake them. |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: olddude Date: 22 Aug 08 - 01:07 PM RangerSteve we are kindred spirits ... sounds good. I have done that with the crescent rolls ... very tasty |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: Joe Offer Date: 22 Aug 08 - 01:09 PM On hikes, my standard diet at the end of the trail is a sandwich with two cold hot dogs, washed down with two cold beers. My health-conscious wife doesn't understand that pleasure I take in this. -Joe- |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: PoppaGator Date: 22 Aug 08 - 01:14 PM Great idea, using those crescent rolls like that with full-size weenies ~ pigs-in-a-blanket on steroids! This month's AARP magazine listed the five or ten foods that are worst-for-you, and hot dogs were at the very top of the list. (Too much nitrates, or some such nonsense.) I'll take my chances once or twice a week. For a while, I allowed myself to get sucked into the all-beef, or even kosher-all-beef, school of "gourmet" thought ~ until a coworker reminded me that, in the eloquent words of Emeril Lagasse, "Pork Fat Rules!" I have since turned back to the standard bargain-priced pork/turkey/beef dog, and will now gladly admit that it's actually preferable to the snob-appeal alternative. Tube steaks forever! |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: Severn Date: 22 Aug 08 - 01:21 PM Yeah Carol, I read Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" in high school and all, and I've mostly weaned myself off of weiners, but I still find a professional baseball game incomplete, somehow, without one. "Happy entrails to You Until we meet again...." Hmmmmmmmmmmm.....but then Roy ended up selling burgers instead, didn't he? "Trigger Treat!".... |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: dwditty Date: 22 Aug 08 - 01:43 PM Our local hotdog manufacturer is Hummel's. (Ahh, a Hummel Big Bite cooked until it splits open - oh yeah). ANyway, I once played golf with Eric Hummel. He showed up with bandaids on every finger of his left hand. When I asked him what happend, he replied, "We put a little Hummel in everything we make." dw |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: gnu Date: 22 Aug 08 - 01:48 PM I was about to go to Sobeys and get a couple of massive T-Bones for the BBQ. I started the Ford Hundred truck, which I had towed to the Coop Service Station for a new starter a few weeks ago ($330, almost Ford Hundred) and the starter stayed engaged until I got to the Coop, whereupon the starter ceased to exist. So, let's see. New starter installed at $275. Solenoid, maybe? Say $80 installed?... anyone got a guess? or sommat else? Hot dogs tonight. |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: Lizzie Cornish 1 Date: 22 Aug 08 - 02:10 PM Yes, really...! :0) Mmmmmm... :0) And so, Sister Rose practised making those hot dogs...until one day...... Nooo! Stop! Don't..........! Doctor: "So, could you just run that past me again, Mrs. Jones. You ate *how many* hot dogs when you were pregnant? Doctor: "My, but he's grown..." "I'm sorry, but *no* hot dog has *that* many legs! And you thought you knew how to eat a hot dog? Pah! ;-) |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: PoppaGator Date: 22 Aug 08 - 04:10 PM DW: I'll see your Hummel and raise you a Hormel. For several years of their fairly long and almost-profitable existence, my kid brother Paul's rock band included tenor saxophonist Jimmy "Son of Spam" Hormel. Jimmy was a great horn player, good enough to do regular session work in L.A. for several years after the band broke up, back in the mid-90s. He has since been persuaded to quit music as his profession and take up real-estate management for the (huge) family business. His dad was a very controversial figure in the news for a while several years ago. Clinton had nominated him for an ambassadorial post, but he never got the job because of Congressional opposition on the gounds of his sexual orientation. ("Gay-Dad" is one of those guys who got married and had kids before discovering his true self, or whatever.) Paul and the guys in the band liked him pretty well and always enjoyed visiting his palatial digs on the very top of one of those hills in San Francisco; they were pretty outraged that he lost out on the embassy job, and got publicly humilated in the process. Last I heard from Jimmy, one of his kids had taken up surfing, so he bought a few hundred yards of beachfront in Hawaii so the whole family could surf whenever they want. |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: GUEST,Chongo Chimp Date: 22 Aug 08 - 05:00 PM They say that the average citizen of Chicago is willing to swallow just about anything if it's presented in the right package. Ook! Ook! But seriously, olddude, you are onto a good thing here. I LOVE hot dogs and I love Chicago hot dogs the best, specially when I'm at a baseball game. I've eaten thousands of the things. The hot dog is a great piece of Americana that will never die. Just to drive the point home on that the Chongo campaign has inaugurated a brand new vehicle...a bus that is shaped like a giant Chicago hot dog in the bun, complete with mustard, relish, and onions. We got that and we got the BananaMobile. Either one of 'em is guaranteed to raise a crowd. |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: Jeri Date: 22 Aug 08 - 05:13 PM I think they save the assholes for scrapple. (Seriously, they're illegal). Go look at olddude's 'HOT DOG PORN' link and go read about Flo's. I almost drove there and bought one of those babies. Actually, Flo's has a stand at the Kittery Trading Post and I almost went there. Luckily, I remembered I had some hot dogs here and ate a couple. Gotta stop reading food threads... |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: CarolC Date: 22 Aug 08 - 05:15 PM LOL Hot dog shaped Mini |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: olddude Date: 22 Aug 08 - 05:19 PM Jeri You did not go to Flo's? I am stunned and speechless ... I mean come on Jeri look at the description: Go to Flo's red shack on Rt. 1 for a steamed hot dog (pork and beef mix) smeared with mayo, a dash of celery salt, and Flo's legendary secret relish (a dark, spicy, sweet and sour onion concoction that can be purchased online by the jarful), all in a soft steamed bun. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: Jeri Date: 22 Aug 08 - 05:39 PM Our shanty sing is tomorrow about 5 miles away from Kittery Trading Post. I will shop (and bitch about the prices) and have a Flo's. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: Jeri Date: 22 Aug 08 - 05:41 PM By the way, the 'secret relish' with the celery salt really IS 'all that'. Yum. (Best ground butthole you ever ate!) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: CarolC Date: 22 Aug 08 - 05:53 PM I don't eat meat anymore, but I fondly remember the chili dogs you could get at the Wheaton Plaza Peoples Drug Store lunch counter back in the late '60s and early 70s. They were quite yummy. I think they were probably the best meat hot dogs I ever had. |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: PoppaGator Date: 22 Aug 08 - 06:04 PM New Orleans does not have a very strong weenie tradition, but the Lucky Dogs sold to tourists from pushcarts along Bourbon Street are actually not bad, albeit overpriced. The best thing about Lucky Dogs is how prominently they are featured, and thereby immortalized, in that truly great American novel, A Confederacy of Dunces. Antihero Ignatius Reilly holds down a job selling them for a while, although author John Kenndy Toole changes the company name to "Paradise Vendors," I suppose to protect the not-so-innocent. Not too long ago, a former Lucky Dog head honcho published his memoir about years of supervising the motley collection of characters employed to market his dogs. The title? Managing Ignatius, Not a bad read, pretty amusing all the way through. |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: olddude Date: 22 Aug 08 - 06:19 PM I had a lucky dog once. I thought it was great. I put some kind of hot sauce on it ... Oh yes amazing. |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: pdq Date: 22 Aug 08 - 06:34 PM James Hormel was sworn in on 29 JUN 1999 as ambassador to Luxembourg. He was a "recess appintment' therefore did not need confirmation, but he did serve as the official representative of the US. BTW, his house is in the Twin Peaks district of San Francisco and is not at all ostentacious for somebody of his wealth. It is, however, quite cleverly placed on a very rocky unlevel lot. |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: kendall Date: 22 Aug 08 - 07:19 PM The only one I will eat is made right here in Portland Maine. It is red (Dye) and delicious. If I dwell on what's in it, I won't eat it. Eyeballs? I doubt that. Lips? maybe, but don't forget, you probably eat eggs don't you? |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: Severn Date: 22 Aug 08 - 08:13 PM olddude, Closer to the idea of Hot Dog Porn (and maybe putting this thread above the line) would be for you to get a copy of the anthology "Stars Of The Apollo" (Columbia KG 30788 as an LP) and catch Butterbeans & Susie singing their calssic, "I Want A Hot Dog For My Roll". Also catch: "Gimme A Pigfoot"-Bessie Smith "Sweet Sue, It's You"-The Mills Brothers "I Put A Spell On You"-"Screamin'" Jay Hawkins "He's Long Gone From Bowling Green"-Buck & Bubbles & Their Buckets "Fifteen Minute Intermission"-Cab Calloway (Possibly the greatest band break song of all time!) ....among other wonderful stuff as you enjoy your Dogs. CarolC, Been there, done that. I grew up (to the extent I ever did) down the road in Kensington. When were you in the Wheaton area? And not pictured is/was Little Oscar, a midget that used to tour grocery stores in his Weenie-mobile, as pictured, and give demonstrations and pass out samples. Since I collected antique metal advertising signs, a friend who assistant-managed a grocery store gave me the giant inflatable Oscar Meyer Weinerand the inflatable (squeaking) Little Oscar doll which I no longer have, because he thought I'd like them. A true story: Also, at the same time, I'd been given a couple of large plastic store signs that look like the containers of Oscar Meyer Bologna. I was trying to sell them off at a flea market when a high wind struck up and blew the light plastic sign away into an aquaintance who was selling her stuff a few tables down. "Severn, what the HAIL (she was Southern) is THIS?" she asked, holding it aloft. I said without hesitation, "The answer, my friend, is bologna in the wind.....", while my best friend at the next table cracked up and was just about rolling on the ground. He still reminds me about it. No siree, they just don't HAND you straight lines like that enough in real life.... |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: pdq Date: 22 Aug 08 - 08:18 PM TRIVIA : 1) What make of car was the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile built on? 2) Name two other famous vehicles designed by the same man. |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: olddude Date: 22 Aug 08 - 08:25 PM OMG even hot dog music!! how could I have missed that all these years I will run out and buy them |
|
Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: CarolC Date: 22 Aug 08 - 08:58 PM I lived in the Wheaton area from when I was about 9 1/2 in 1965 until I was around 20 or thereabouts, and I lived there for short periods of time after that. My parents lived there (my father still does). My sister, the former Pyrate Peg, might be a mutual acquaintance. I went to JFK during the experimental years. |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: Severn Date: 22 Aug 08 - 09:26 PM Lizzie, What's your recipe for Cornish Dog on a stick? olddude, Only the first sing mentioned deals with hot dogs on that particular recording. The rest is just classic stuff off of the same recording. HOWEVER, I can point you toward the title song of the Buck Owens recording "Hot Dog!" (Capitol C4-9113-cassette), and if THAT'S not enough to whet your appetite and you want entire CDs of songs at least in the same spirit.... The aforementioned Buck Owens song may be the only specific hot dog song on there, "El Paso Chile Company Authentic Genuine Daddy Q BBQ Blues (EMI Music Special Markets 72433-84341-2-5) was put out on behalf of said chile company and is full of songs about RCs & Moon Pies, BBQ, Chicken, Chili Peppers and Onions by the likes of NRBQ, Mojo Nixon and Tennessee Ernie Ford. I found mine at a yard sale I'd google the company about availability. Good luck. Much in the same vein and probably more readily available is "Livin' In The House Of Blues: Barbeque Blues" (House Of Blues 51416 1388 2) chock full of goodness from the present back to the days of 78s w/ Louis Jordan, Professor Longhair, Saffire, Barbeque Bob, Bessie Smith and Slim Gaillard in the mix. Another cheap find from a library sale. Neither are anything I would have paid list for but couldn't resist for a well spent buck or two. ....and of course, there's always "The Happy Scrapple Daddy Polka" by The Holy Modal Rounders from "Good Taste Is Timeless" (Sundazed SC 6208 on CD. The LP was on Metromedia) which mentions most kinds of sausage other than frankfurters in an orgy of Pennsylvania partying at its best. You'll either love it, or become a vegetarian on the spot....... Bon appitit! |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: olddude Date: 22 Aug 08 - 09:30 PM Here is a story that will tear your heart outwhile I was playing with this thread ... I burned, no incinerated my hot dogs on the grill... little black crusty things .. sad but true I am now in a state of depression (sniff sniff) |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: Neil D Date: 22 Aug 08 - 11:12 PM Take an 8-pack of dogs, cut them into 1 inch pieces. Heat on top of stove with a can or 2 of store-brand baked beans. The quickest, cheapest and TASTIEST supper for the family on the go. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: CarolC Date: 22 Aug 08 - 11:20 PM My mother used to cut up hot dogs and simmer them in barbeque sauce for a while and serve that on top of minute rice. We used to love that when I was growing up, and I've even prepared it for myself as an adult using veggie dogs (it's just as good that way). |

Dogs were a delicacy. One guy got his, opened the wrapper, and looked shocked. His friend said, "What's wrong?" The other replied, "First you tell me what part of the dog you got!!!"

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: GUEST,Black Hawk on works PC Date: 28 Aug 08 - 05:06 AM As I live in the UK you lot are making me so jealous! Most 'hot dogs' we get served are actually sausages in a bun (Dibblers?) I cant resist buying one when I see 'real' ones being offered. As to Sirloin steak ten feet away was $2.77 a pound????? Over here it averages £7.50/pound ($15?) |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: catspaw49 Date: 28 Aug 08 - 05:54 AM Ruth you pathetic excuse for a human! Everyone knows that Scrapple was a gift from the gods! Here in east Ohio we call it Krepples but its still the best breakfast, uh,er,well.......meat......yeah, that's it........meat sorta' thing that you can eat! And since we didn't convert that 1793rd election thread to another one for hot dogs, I repost here I guess....................... Most of you here at the 'Cat did not spend a lot of your life's weekends at various racetracks as both a spectator amd a participant. I've eaten dogs at racing facilities ranging from Indianapolis to assorted short tracks, both dirt and pavement, across the midwest to road courses from Atlanta to Connecticut to New York and Minnesota. No matter where you go, almost at every one the good ol' dog is the cheapest sorta' real food on the menus of the concession stands. With that being true, I judge the value of a hot dog and the track by the condiments available. If for instance the dogs are not available with coney sauce and the condiments come in tiny plastic pouches, this track sucks. I don't care if it has a great racing surface or national prominence, the condiments make the meal and with those silly little packets you can't get enough on a dog to get full or even a decent case of food poisoning! Now let me tell you what IS right. If I find a track with fairly decent dogs, I check the condiments. And that means a condiment table! With or without flies they are the only thing worthwhile. Plus on a truly good one you'll find 2 different mustards, relish, ketchup, onions......and on the very best ones, sauerkraut! Now you buy your CONEY dogs (often 2 for as little as 3-4 dollars) and then go load them down with heavy applications of relish and onions and kraut along with the mustards to bulk it up. And then......and only in the past 10 years has this been available (thanks to Nachos) you ask if the vendor will top them off with a bit of cheese sauce. Believe it or not, most will happily do so. Before the cheese sauce goes on however it is wise to check for dead flies and other bugs which may have combined with the relish or onions or kraut at that open air and open container Condiment Stand. You now have a serious meal on your plate that started out as two pathetic little dogs. You need to be sure there are plenty of napkins available as well as "sporks" or spoons or forks since these hot dogs have now gone beyond any means of eating them with your hands. Four bucks and you got yourself a real meal you can eat to the sounds of screaming engines and tires, smells of hot asbestos, hot rubber, and burning methanol, and the occasional squeal of brakes and the thunks and sounds of a crash. On the best days you also remembered to take some Zantac prior to arriving and have a pocket full of Rolaids and/or Tums. Life doesn't get much better than that! Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: RangerSteve Date: 28 Aug 08 - 01:17 PM I agree with Spaw about scrapple. It's mentioned in the Bible as a gift from God. Unfortunately, the Bible has been through so many translations that the scrapple verse has been lost. |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: olddude Date: 28 Aug 08 - 04:18 PM I found it, it is right under the verse about Hot Dogs bringing world peace. It is there in black and white .. so no blaspheme should be done against scrapple either ... especially a slab with maple syrup on it ... whatever it is made out of |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: WFDU - Ron Olesko Date: 28 Aug 08 - 04:29 PM What a great thread!!! Olddude, thanks for starting this - and thanks for posting that earlier link to the article. I'm so glad they mentioned Rutt's Hutt! If you are ever in NJ, you must try a ripper! I was a Callahan's fan, but unfortunately they closed. Hirims never impressed me. We have some great hot dogs here in the Garden State. Check out this website - Holly Eats - Jersey Dogs |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: Ruth Archer Date: 29 Aug 08 - 12:04 AM Bitof a North Jersey bias there, ron! Anyway, you can get hot dogs anywhere - in Jersey, it's all about Pork Roll |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: RangerSteve Date: 29 Aug 08 - 08:26 AM Ron, thanks for that link. I just spent an hour checking it out. Ruth - Ron's hot dog link mentions a lot of South Jersey hotdog places, too. |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: RangerSteve Date: 29 Aug 08 - 08:30 AM Ruth, thanks for your link, too. Any site about NJ is worth knowing about. Steve (west central NJ) |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: Ruth Archer Date: 29 Aug 08 - 09:04 AM Hometown Tales is a GREAT site for Jerseyites, RangerSteve - they used to have some wonderful video on that site about Lucy the Elephant and the Jersey Devil - not sure if it's still there, but I hope so...the Pork Roll documentary (which was absolute genius) seems to have disappeared. I used to subscribe to their podcast, which is worth a listen. Lots of South Jersey hotdog places?!! Surely the ONLY place to eat a hot dog in Jersey is down the shore, on the boardwalk of your choice...it's part of the dining experience! |

" Not really. If you live in North Jersey, the experience of driving up to a hot dog joint and soak in the atmosphere. Pull up to Johnny & Hanges ( Johnny & Hanges No way would I knock South Jersey or the shore, but if you grew up in North Jersey, you know all the hot dog haunts and they become a special part of your life. |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: Ruth Archer Date: 29 Aug 08 - 10:20 AM Well, the North Jersey/South Jersey divide ought to have its own version of the Mason Dixon line, Ron...if you grew up at the shore, like I did, boardwalks and hot dogs go hand in hand. :) Don't even get me started on salt water taffy... |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: WFDU - Ron Olesko Date: 29 Aug 08 - 10:35 AM ...if you grew up at the shore, like I did, boardwalks and hot dogs go hand in hand. Absolutely!! It is a strong bond with where you were brought up. If you grew up in North Jersey, the ritual of visiting a hot dog stand, usually one of the first stops after getting a license to drive, is sacred. Family visits as a youngster, first dates, etc. - great memories that are wrapped in a bun!! I love a hot dog at the shore, and I do not think that there is a Mason Dixon divide- I think we celebrate our traditions that we grew up with and have fond favorites, but there is a passion that extends beyond it. That website I shared was a great guide, and I know many people that enjoy sampling the dogs at various establishments. We have our favorites, but we love to sample!! |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: RangerSteve Date: 29 Aug 08 - 11:05 AM Incidentally, as far as NJ dogs go, I think Hot Dog Johnny's is over-rated. It's a nice looking place, nice scenery, but the dogs are average. The fries are excellent, however, and they have birch beer. |

Subject: RE: BS: HOT DOGS From: gnu Date: 29 Aug 08 - 01:54 PM Some Maple Leaf hot dogs are on the recall list. Hehehehe... It's a Canuck joke. Yes, I know people have died. I hope they het a chuckle too. BTW... in case you haven't heard, Maple Leaf added another 50 or 60 products to the recall. And, for Atlantic Canadians... there are some Sunrise products too... and other brand names... not just Maple Leaf. You can get the list at the website. |
