Whenever I drive through that area I make a point to stop at their drive thru. Also get the pierogies rather than fries with that.
I also love corn dogs! Fatty meat on a stick coated with fatty corn bread....Yum!

I marched '96 and '97. We had talked before about this. I first met you at International Tuba Day in 1999 at Millersville, after watching you perform with 2bas2eu. That performance largely moved me to major in music and to start a Tuba-Euph Quartet when I got to my band in the Army which then led to the first Tuba-Euph Quartet performance ever in Iraq which then led to Merry Tubachristmas Tikrit, Iraq 2003. Unfortunatly, there were no chili dogs.
Confession Time:
I had originally started this post with hopes to recived lots of "I love them" and "Me too" responses. I had then planned to change the title to "Who loves men in dresses" or something like that. Unfortunatly, lots of responses made that question largely unappropriate.
Thanks for ruining the fun of a really bored man.
Just seen a program on the telly about hot dogs , dont know if many of you good people have heard of a chef called jamie oliver ( lisping telly chef and saviour of healthy eating here in the uk) just as I was scoffing down a hot dog , fried onion and mustard...he mentioned they contained more almost half a pint of salt and is made from 56% of mechanically recovered chicken ( all those who want to know how they remove it and bleach it to make it "Fit" for consumtion put your hands up..)
it should have put me off but having spent the weekend eating BK Burgers ( do they do the 3 pepper double angus burger in the states??) in Butlins in the wonderful resort of Skegness..
still what dont kill you only makes you stronger...respec' to the chili dogs...yum

A chili dog....maybe a hot dog made of chihuahua meat?

I got a new cookbook for Christmas: How to Wok your dog
All I ask is the chance to prove that money can't make me happy.
Spike Milligan
Ingredients:
1 hot dog
1 slice of thick-cut bacon
1 can of spray cheese
1 can beer (It doesn't matter what kind, but we recommend something dark. Corona probably isn't a good idea)
1 cup flour
Oil for frying
Instructions:
This one is a little work-intensive, so be ready to buckle down. First take the center out of the hot dog with an apple corer, if you have access to one. If not, just cut out the middle with a knife. Fill the cavity with the spray cheese and use the hot dog you removed from the middle as a cap to keep the cheese in. Wrap the bacon around the hot dog and deep-fry for two to four minutes or until bacon is cooked. Dab them dry with a paper towel (so the batter will stick). Mix the beer with the flour until it reaches a thick, but lump-free consistency. Dip the dogs in the batter, coating the dog completely, and deep-fry on high heat for two to three minutes or until brown and deadly.
NOTE: Don't fry them too long or all of the cheese will explode out into the oil. That's very bad.

Huell (Howser) Dog: 2 hot dogs, chili, cheese, mustard, onions in one bun (named after a local TV personality)
THREE DOG NIGHT: 3 hot dogs, wrapped in a giant tortilla, 3 slices of cheese, 3 slices of bacon, chili & onions.
Their chili is their own recipe, their dogs are produced locally by Hoffman Brothers (Hoffy) using their special seasoning blend - all beef in a natural casing.
Actually, Pink's has only been around since 1939. Before I came here to Vietnam, I would eat there many times a month.
People from Tennessee (in the 1970s) know Huell Howser well. He was a reporter on WSM-TV, channel 4, in Nashville.

Ok now I remember. Sorry I did not remember your handle.
Now Chili dogs in Iraq, that would be some great cultural exchange!
I lived in the Applewood development just north of Fogelsville off of Rt 100 for 3 years back in the late 80's and that was right down the street from Yocco's. My wife hated the place though, so I only went there when she was not around.
We are getting 2bas2eu together for a little faculty recitla tomorrow night. We have not been together for quite awhile, so I am looking forward to it. Hopefully this will lead to getting together more int he near future.
