How Do You Like Your Dogs?

Rick - I'll get the grill warmed up. For the uninitiated, here's a closeup of a New England hot dog bun. Have to admit I'd never seen or heard of them when I lived in Texas and Wisconsin.

When I was touring New England we supposedly passed the Boston Bean Factory and the tour bus driver asked if any one knew how many beans were in a can of Boston Baked beans. No one knew the answer so he told us 239 because if you add one more bean it becomes too farty.
 
Quiet, not barking! :highly_amused: PJ
 
I'm pretty sure my love affair with chili dogs started in college with a place called Mike's in Schenectady, NY. I recently learned that the place is still in business almost 40 year later! I would love to go back and get "4 dogs all the way"!

I have a dirty little hot dog secret when I don't go for a New England style dog, The "Shnurbel"

It's available only at Fred's Franks lakeside in Wakefield. MA

The ingredients are: hot dog, chourico, on a bed of home made sweet cabbage, mayo and topped with House Sirachababa sauce in a fresh sub roll

The meats are grilled on a Big Green Egg over charcoal with some apple wood thrown in. And for those of you who don't live near a sizable Portuguese community nearby, chourico is a spicy pork sausage that is great charred over a charcoal grille.
 
Bud's Broiler in New Orleans, the location on City Park Ave. (maybe Banks St.?), as I recall. Back in the day (late 60's, early 70's) I used to order grilled hot dogs with Bud's own sauce. Served on a hamburger bun, the dogs were slit so that when they cooked, they'd curl into a circle. The middle was filled with the sauce and whatever else you wanted on them. FANTASTIC!
 
Notice all the dog eaters are in New England mostly!
 
To my New England friends, yes B&M's are good but I do prefer Bush Beans, love the mayonaisey potato salad and birch beer is my choice, preferably White Rock. An afterthought, living in New Mexico hasn't deterred me from some of my favorite foods, I get a lot of food on-line and order about every 6 months from Gaspar's with 2 day delivery. Linguisa freezes without a problem as well as choirize. (sp?) Love milk crackers, coffee milk, real fava beans (the giant ones), etc. Almost forgot Johnny Cake Mix. I left New England but not the foods. Absolute favorite, steamed clams, clam cakes and lobster rolls. There goes the diet and the grocery budget.
 
Rick-
While I certainly can't disagree about the NJ Turnpike locations, we need to blame NJ about that; hotdoggate :devilgrin:
OK, next time I'm back in Boston (Somerville) visiting my son, I'll have to give the NE dogs a try before being judgmental myself.

Elliot.

Maybe you can start a thread about what people like on scrapple? :jester: My mom's side of the family are Lithuanians from Minersville, so I still love all the coal region favorites, although not too keen on scrapple.

Scrapple? No, never! I actually grew up in NYC so I'm not a country boy.
I always thought scrapple was fish bait :rolleyes2:

Us natives never eat at those places. It's all a trick for the tourists from PA and New England. :devilgrin:

Somehow I knew I was going to ruffle some feathers of the guys from NJ. I still like NJ in spite of the smelly refineries :thumbsup:
