OK ...

This thread caused me to have a flashback that I hope you'll appreciate ...

I remember going to Caspers with my dad after shooting at the rifle range in Alameda. We had lunch and I distinctly remember looking at my dad's International Travelall and thinking about the guns inside.

To put this in perspective Caspers was about a half mile away from the Alameda County Courthouse where I saw a Black Panther standing on the steps holding a shotgun.

I remember well my seven year older brother and I alone, "boys day out", heading over with Dad in his '65 Chevy Fleetside seat-belt-less P/U as I stood on center seat on the way there. Vividly remember his stout arm reaching over across my chest as he kept me from occasionally thumping the dash or windshield. He sold his hot dog stand (Parks Hot Dogs) in Pittsburg, where I was born and raised, to ship off to Korea. Great man, great time growing up in the Bay Area.

Nathans all beef bun length are good as well as Hebrew national beef knockwurst and there's also koegels viennas w/coney sauce and then there's home made.....

This, sir, is one of the best things on this planet! Though, I like mine with burgers.

Haven't had a plate since 2008. I have GOT to get back to the Rochester area!

Same here cheese burger plate heavy sauce!

This is an example of WV online porn! Hotdogs like this and/or hot bologna sandwich is considered bait!

Koegel's has game, but when you want to worship at the alter of brats, wieners, and sausages the Mecca is Usingers in Milwaukee. And yes, they do mail order.

Usingers brats are good, but their hot dogs suck compared to Koegels.

Best cure for a hangover I've ever had!

Earl Campbell Hot Links, Savoie's Andouille. Yes I am from SC.

How you guys make'in the meat sauce cause dang that looks good!

This is the one I've been making the last couple times. It's a knock off of the chili dog sauce from the Varsity in Atlanta. It was given to be my RRP from the BGE forums.

1 pound ground chuck
1 3/4 cups water
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon granulated onion
2 teaspoons salt
1 dash tabasco sauce

Put water and all ingredients except meat into saucepan and stir well. Add meat, breaking it up with your fingers as you go. The finer you break it up as it goes in the water the better the end results. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and leave uncovered until nearly all water is gone and the consistency is the way you like it.

Yeah, baby. Sechrist Brothers dogs are damn good. He's a blast to talk to when the counter is slow.Very educated man, BTW.

Awful proud of his briskets last time I was in their store. $6.50lb.

Mike your recipe looks good for a Coney Island dog. Prolly try it tonight for supper which reminds me of Coney Island Hot Dogs in Shamokin, Pa. and the Coney lunch in Johnstown, Pa.

When I was running the dragbike at Norwalk, Ohio I would scoot over to Coney Lunch in Johnstown for a bag of dogs. YUM!!!

90 miles out of the way for dogs. They're that good !!!!

Dan. for most of my career stuffing my face with Coney Island hot dogs I thought they originated in CI,NY. Nope, Detroit by two greek guys Selling from little islands called coneys.

Family feud over the best as well as who really started the idea is still going and their shops are next door to each other in Detroit.

The Greek hot dog and burger stands in Winnipeg Manitoba, use a similiar meat sauce, on their dogs and burgers, that with Fresh Cut Fries . Good eats.

There is a hole in the wall stand, VJ'S across the street from the Via Station that makes some of the best in Western Canada.
