PrintWhat's Better Than A New York Hot Dog?
On the New Yorker's Cartoon Lounge, Matthew Diffee first agrees with a friend's assessment of the New York frank—"There's not a lot of things in the world that are better than a New York sidewalk hot dog"—but then goes on to list, oh, around 527 things he actually finds superior.
Okay, we'll concede "literacy," "Western medicine," and "homemade peach cobbler." But "soup in a bread bowl"? "A subscription to Texas Monthly"? A petting zoo? Come on—give the sidewalk dog some respect.

A New Jersey Hot Dog. And when I have time I can give you 527 reasons.

Admittedly, I haven't had one in many years but I have to say until you've been to the Windmill down by the shore in Long Branch, NJ, I can only take this post with a grain of sauerkraut.

SERIOUSLY! A New York hotdog with onions. Please! On a hamburger yes, but a good hotdog calls for sauerkraut and mustard period. This from a real New Yorker for many years, now retired in New Jersey.

RIDICULOUS!! A New Yorker would like onions on a hamburger, but never on a hotdog. Give me a nice juicy hotdog on a lightly toasted bun with lots of warm sauerkraut, and a good mustard, and I am in heaven.
I have told my children this would be my choice for a last meal.
