There were dozens of tiny places from East Haven to Norwalk most of them ,I think, serving Sabretts. The "Greeks", I believe in Stratford, was my favorite small hotdog joint. It was amazing to watch how fast they were able to get the dogs out adding mustard relish and onions in seconds. Just watching them go was worth the price of the frank.

I am casting a vote for Nathan's also, however mine is for the Original in "Coney Island" and their second location in Oceanside , LI. I worked in Coney Island for six years (went ther at least twice a week for lunch) and lived in Oceanside for over 30 so I am very biased.

For many years the Oceanside location had a small amusement park much like Coney Island as a kid we went there on Saturday afternoons and they had movies and puppet shows you would watch while eating lunch and then went on the rides outside.


2 Well Done Dogs, Large Fies and an Orange Drink. Could go for it right now.

..that nobody has mentioned Sully's on Castle Island in South Boston. I used to frequent that place when I worked in town some years ago!

Having purchased all raw materials and formulated all Schonland products for many years, I know my hot dogs. Beef, pork, and veal made the best frankfurt in our opinion. Beef fat is not very palatable so the fat portion was mostly pork. Beef has a very good proien for emulsifying so the lean portion was from beef. There is no comparison for me as natural casing is by far the choice. We sold Schonland to Labatt Beer before it was sold to Kayam. I still worked for Kayam briefly before moving on. Kayam changed the formula of the Schonland frank and I no longer like them as much as the old. They contain communuted chicken which is lean but not a pretty sight. It looks like orange mud. Their Kayam brand dog is actually better and I now buy those. Funny thing is that the Schonland brand is priced 50 cents a pound more here in the Manchester area. Buy the Kayam. Old Neighborhood makes a pretty good Natural Casing also but I'm partial to Kayem's spices. It still comes down to a personel choice like most things. I had 2 last night.

Wow! So I can thank you for my favorite hot dogs! THe Kayams that you eat are the ones that say on the box, the old Schonland's formula? Those are the ones I like. Thanks for telling us all that.

So if I buy some Kayem Natural Casing Franks with the Schonland's recipe, there will be some comminuted chicken in them?

But if I buy Kayem Old Tyme Natural Casing Franks (beef or Pork) there won’t be any comminuted chicken in them?

They sell the Kayem natural casing hot dogs at Sam's Club in the big bunch box for cheap money!!

Hey Rusty... we're a pretty laid back group here and just so you know, you may need to learn to overlook some of the errors of the posters here. People don't like having every little error pointed out to them after a while and I've seen you do posts like this one on other threads; we're here to have fun and share info, and our love for the Lakes Region, if you know what I mean.

Peace.

I was just wondering if Kayem Old Tyme Natural Casing Franks (beef or Pork) had comminuted chicken in them.
SIKSUKR said that Kayem Natural Casing Franks with the Schonland's recipe has comminuted chicken in them.

I pointed out the spelling to make sure that I got the words right. I had to lookup both words to make sure. When I saw commnuted chicken it confused me. Also there could be a hot dog maker by the name of Kayam.

I wasn't trying to be a trouble maker. It doesn't take much to confuse me.
I'll try to do better as long as I can understand the post.

And I changed it to A after SS's post because I thought I must have spelled it wrong since he knows so much about the hotdogs.
