Theo's, East Street Pittsfield MA, mini grilled dogs on a steamed roll with chili, onion, mustard. When I was young you would get two dogs and a Nehi for 25 cents. 9.9 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Of course this is my opinion and others may disagree.

Forgot about Dopeys! The best in the world! and Teo's yum! Thanks for the memories!

All the talk about my favorite (Schonlands) reminds me of when I was a kid. My parents had 5 kids and some of you have seen how big I ended up. To save money they would buy the irregulars of the Schondlands natural casings. I assume from when they were setting up the machine. The dogs would range from a half inch ball to the occasional 18 incher. I remember being surprised at around 12 years old when I realized that hot dogs did not come in any size you felt like.

The secret to grilling a dog is to heat it slow enough that it cooks from the inside out. Patience. When they split open, they are done.

Roll grilled in a frying pan with a little butter.

Half the time plain. Half with a little yellow mustard.

Couple times a year with some sweet relish.

Couple times a year with grilled onions.

I gotta say, after 87 posts for a topic that is all about hot dogs if you are out of work, then open up a hotdog stand and you'll soon be making some real money.

I'm curious, but when you're eating a "natural casing" hotdog and you encounter what looks to me like a polyp, do you avoid it or just eat it?
