Niw, I've got to find the time to read the bad review from two days ago. My all-time favorite bad review - and during my friend John Simon's reign of terror there were a lot of them - came in the New York Times 1935 review of the Cole Porter-Moss Hart musical Jubilee, which said thast the song "Begin thed Beguine" was just another rhumba. Since I've worked with BK as a director, I trust this positive review, and I want to see what bothered the writer of the bad review.

TOD:  I'm pretty sure my first hot dogs were made at home by my parents, and that had to be before we moved in 1970 from Flatbush to Luna Park (which was between Brighton Beach and Coney Island).  Once we lived near Coney Island, Nathan's hot dogs were nearby and extremely delicious.

 Our Yeshivah cafeteria also made wonderful franks in a blanket, and being a Yeshivah, that had to be a kosher brand of hot dogs.

Best hot dogs ever were the legendary ones at the Liberty restaurant in Middletown, Ohio. I am not crazy about hot dogs, but I don't recall any disasters.

Before I started school....probably even before my first sister was born....our parents would take my brother and me to downtown Mooresville where a diner had a bar and stools.

right behind the bar on the corner was a hot dog machine. The hot dogs were stuck on spikes and went around and around.

I loved getting a hot dog with mustard and/or chili sauce.

Yesterday I asked my brother Kent for a favor.

He came by and took the old five year old battery out of Petey the PT Cruiser....took it over to AutoZone and bought a new three-year battery for $204.

He then put it back into Petey and now once again I have TWO cars!

I think it's timely that just yesterday it was announced that Nathan's Famous (which I believe includes the flagship location in Coney Island plus all other Nathan's outlets) has been SOLD for over $400 million. If its new owner, Smithfield Foods, touches so much as a hair on the Coney Island site, it will be the end of civilization as we know it.

By the way, I don't know if DR singdaw or anyone else is aware of the latest disastrous news from Connecticut. As of last week, maybe two weeks ago, the Sycamore Drive-In IS NO MORE. It's unthinkable. The restaurant (or the lease to operate there, it's all kind of murky) was bought by the owner of another restaurant in Bethel, and the makeover has begun. There are a lot of details to unpack, but America has lost one of its primo mid-century food spots that still had car hop service, home to the most delicious "smash burgers" for half a century before anyone invented the term. And the most delicious homemade root beer. All of it. Gone. Just like that.

Coincidentally (like, a day or two before the news broke), I bought an 8-pack of Nathan's "bun size" hot dogs, and, in a moment of insanity (these things happen), a package of what have to be the SHITTIEST hot dog buns ever created. Store brand. They hold up to, literally, nothing. They just manage to get a few bites of flavor up to my pie hole before disintegrating. Next time I'm going for whichever ones look to be the BEST. If I can find anything close to the Vienna poppy seed buns (cf. BK's reference to same), I'll get those. They may or may not be carried here, but I'll try.

They're going very strong as far as I can tell. Were you here when they moved some years ago to their newly designed building farther south on Route 7? It's a beauty, and I always see lots of cars in the parking lot.

The "greater Danbury" area has lost a couple of diners in the 30 35 years I've been here, but only one of which really mattered to me. As far as I know, New England (and NJ and NY) diners, bless their little souls, are still a strong viable institution.

That is good to hear, DR Laura.

It's a "thing" now for hot dog places around the U.S. to include a "Chicago STYLE" dog on their menu. But in all of the years since I lived in Chicago for one wonderful year, I've only known one (1) place to get it exactly right, and that was in Long Beach, CA called, I think, Mustard's or Mustard Something.

Watching the Jack Smith hearing. Some of these MAGA Rethuglicans like Brandon Gill and that Issa ass from California are like little rabid dogs. I would love to see them taken behind the barn and shot.

Yesterday I asked my brother Kent for a favor.

He came by and took the old five year old battery out of Petey the PT Cruiser....took it over to AutoZone and bought a new three-year battery for $204.

He then put it back into Petey and now once again I have TWO cars!

Excellent.

By the way, I don't know if DR singdaw or anyone else is aware of the latest disastrous news from Connecticut. As of last week, maybe two weeks ago, the Sycamore Drive-In IS NO MORE. It's unthinkable. The restaurant (or the lease to operate there, it's all kind of murky) was bought by the owner of another restaurant in Bethel, and the makeover has begun. There are a lot of details to unpack, but America has lost one of its primo mid-century food spots that still had car hop service, home to the most delicious "smash burgers" for half a century before anyone invented the term. And the most delicious homemade root beer. All of it. Gone. Just like that.

My condolences to you.

Coincidentally (like, a day or two before the news broke), I bought an 8-pack of Nathan's "bun size" hot dogs, and, in a moment of insanity (these things happen), a package of what have to be the SHITTIEST hot dog buns ever created. Store brand. They hold up to, literally, nothing. They just manage to get a few bites of flavor up to my pie hole before disintegrating. Next time I'm going for whichever ones look to be the BEST. If I can find anything close to the Vienna poppy seed buns (cf. BK's reference to same), I'll get those. They may or may not be carried here, but I'll try.

Oh, my goodness! :o

From what I can tell the storm is expected to hit a number of states.  Our HHW New York people, what are you expecting.  DR Kevin, I believe you are also watching the weather, and probably DR Iris.  Both of my children are in the zone.  Have I missed anyone?

TOD: My first hot dog was probably from Howard Johnson's. My favorites are Detroit Coney Island. We grew up with Lafayette in our house but I had American for the first time last year and it was really good too. I'm heading back to Detroit in April, so I'll have to revisit Lafayette to see if my taste memory matches the current state of things.

Now I know how much snow is expected.  I hadn't seen that.  At least you were able to go to Costco this morning, not that I would have wanted to go there.  I expect if Craig needs anything he will have to get it at a market near him on the way home.
