  But my name's not Linda

If you were Barbra Streisand, you could say, "My name is Belinda!"

Sometimes, inspiration just hits you.

He took a long time between line three and four-lol

Keith only had two yellows in line three.  Fortunately they were good letters, plus all the other letters he knew wouldn't work greatly helped.

I have enjoyed all of this hot dog talk.

[singdaw]

Watching Room 8 right now.

TOD: My favorite hot dogs as a kid were at Howard Johnson's with the nice buttered roll, or the Ball Park Franks at Tiger Stadium. Ball Park Franks cooked at home were OK but just not as good.

[MichaelG]

As I got older my Dad introduced me to Detroit style Coney Islands. These are hot dogs served with Greek-style chili, onions, and mustard.

[Jrand75]

Oh DR MICHAELG that sounds very good.

I don't think I've ever had Greek style chili.

[MichaelG]

There are two classics next door to each other: American and Lafayette. We were a Lafayette household, so this month was my first time trying American.

[MichaelG]

I can see why my Dad liked Lafayette better. It's a smaller, funkier, place, and the hot dog isn't quite as salty. The chili is also looser at Lafayette than at American.

[MichaelG]

I very much enjoyed the Coney at American. I'm planning to get back to Detroit next spring, so I'll have to try Lafayette then and see how it matches my memories.

[MichaelG]

But even the Coney chains in the Detroit area are good, including the one at the airport.

[George]

Oh DR MICHAELG that sounds very good.

I don't think I've ever had Greek style chili.

I've never heard of Greek-style chili.

[MichaelG]

DR Jrand75 and DR George, my understanding is that you get similar style chili in Cincinnati, though I haven't tried it there to double-check.

[MichaelG]

It's less spicy than Texas-style chili, and probably has a light dose of Greek meat spices like cinnamon. It's a perfect complement to the hot dog, where a spicier chili would overwhelm it.

[MichaelG]

Detroit-style Coneys are another food you rarely see outside of Detroit. I did see it in Duluth once and it was pretty good. A high school friend of mine in the Phoenix area says there's a good one near him run by some fellow Detroit expats.

[George]

Thanks for the info, Michael.

[George]

And now, since I'm so close...

[George]

151000!!

[MichaelG]

Congratulations, DR George!

[George]

Thanks, again, Michael!

[MichaelG]

Hey, looks like photo uploading is working again, as is that Facebook photo linking trick. So here's the Motown museum:

[MichaelG]

And here's Motown Studio A - holy ground:

Conratulations, George, on your brand new near-record Millstone!

[Freddie]

MichaelG, thanks for those Motown museum photos!

[Rodzinski]

Congrats George!

Unfortunately my facebook friend Tovah Feldshuh has gone off the deep end in her defense of Israel, offering praise to Charlie Kirk as a “clear figure of free speech…”  Yikes.
