Coney Island Hot Dogs

I’m a fan of Coney Island Hot Dogs– but to be honest it’s not like it used to be when I was younger– I’d down eight of the little gems and wonder when I could make it back over. Today “once in a while” is much better– and that means like once every three or so months.

I had occasion to be at the WooSox opening day– I like baseball, it can be a little slow, but it’s an American institution and even though I voted against the idea of building the ball park because I knew that even with assurances it would not cost us taxpayers “one nickel” it would– and it has. At the park is an official CONEY ISLAND stand– same exact dogs you can get around the corner only now they’re $9 each– I’m not making that up– the hot dog is $2.95 cents at the restaurant but you can pay 3x more for it to eat it in the ballpark. Amazing.

Can you fathom John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson allowing nonsense like this? We fought a war for independence over tea, I feel a lot stronger about hot dogs.

I stopped at Hot Dog Annie’s in Leicester a few weekends ago while taking the convertible for a spin, I hadn’t been out there in about 30 years, and I still maintain while Annie’s is good, Coney Island is better, but not at the WooSox Park.
