You’re killing my calories though!!! I think I mentioned it here before... Wacka probably knew the place in Cheektowaga. It was on Harlem & Clinton. Small little diner: "Franks." Frankie basically invented the sandwhich (in 1950s) and called it a: "Helicopter Sandwich." It was a fried Baloney and onion sandwhich... I forget what else was on it. Kinda looked like a "Helicopter." Frankie and my dad were childhood friends. I think he was a Marine, my dad Army. We would go there after my dad would drag me to the VA for one of his appointments. This was during the early 1970s. I was born in 1968... I was about 4-5, before I was kindergarten. They'd talk about serving during the Korean War almost 20 years early... Sit at the counter, while right behind he'd fry up the sandwich. Classic diner, booth/tables on side, grill behind counter. Such fuzzy memories being so young. I was really young and a few thing I remember, but out of those fuzzy memories, I remember more vividly the diner and the name of that sandwich. My father would have been in his mid-30s... I thought it was "old people food"... . I would get the grilled cheese, fries, and Coke! Now @ Friendly's it would have been a "Coke float." Helos... They saw first service during the Korean War? Right, kinda makes sense to name the sandwich that. The sliced onion and thick slab of baloney on a Kaiser bun would resemble the rotor on a hehelicopter. Another highlight of my youth was my father taking me to the Coast Guard Station in BFLo to the CGX (Coast Guard Exchange) to get his tax free carton of cigarettes. I'd always feign that I had to piss when we got to Ohio Street (where the teenagers would drag race)... My father would let me get out and piss in Lake Erie, by the coal/salt dock slip. Ah... The memories of my youth. Helicopter sammys and pissing in Lake Erie! 3 hours ago, LeviF91 said: Chicago dogs are an abomination unto God and man. They were the first hot dog style invented.

I like Sahlen because they have some pork in them (hurray for pork!) and natural casings. Oh, and I know this is weird, but I eat my dogs naked---on a good bun. A good dog should stand on it's own without condiments. Oh, I can have a Whistle Pig, too: Bacon and Cheese sauce. Any dogs that aren’t all beef are not just mixed with pork, but are mixed with all things that they couldn’t make into something more profitable.... grandpa used to call it “breasts, tails, and touch holes”..... mmmm he made it sound so appetizing On 11/10/2017 at 1:36 PM, ExiledInIllinois said: I think I mentioned it here before...

Some have just pork added. Some have chicken, pork, etc. As far as I know, most hot dogs (all beef or otherwise) include the "scraps" (to use a gentle term) from that animal. You don't believe the "tails and touch holes" from cows are used in many all-beef dogs? (Do cows have a touch hole?) Of course, they also use some good parts. What is actually in there depends on the quality/integrity/etc of the manufacturer. I don't believe Walmart brand all-beef hot dogs are the same as Hebrew National.

This has been quite enlightening to me with this discussion. I'm like you that the Walmart brand of hot dogs is no way the same as Hebrew National, Nathan's nor Sahlen's.

I don't shop at Walmart. I only used Walmart because it was the example. I shop at Kroger. Spend so much you get points. Those points lead to anywhere from 3¢ off a gallon of gas to a $1.00 off a gallon of gas Kroger has their house brand too yet as I said it's no where near the quality of Hebrew, Nathan's or Sahlen's.

Where do I get some of these... I mean does it work for.... Never mind.... Teds chili sauce is a “spicy ketchup’ in a way. And I LOVE it with a pickle. My wife got me into just yellow mustard and onions, which works for me too. OK, I’m officially hungry.... In the old days, I could go a decade without grilling a hot dog....until Publix started carrying Sahlens. THAT just became my next game day meal. You haven't lived till you've had a yoccos dog.
