After quite possibly years of discussion, the NJ Hot Dog Invitational occurred yesterday. I’ll have pictures and a write-up later this week. For now, I give you a few dogs from Nathan’s, which we enjoyed on Saturday. It was a beautiful day, and although a good chunk of Coney Island has been gutted or closed, there’s still a lot to experience. And taste. Nathan’s was, as always, quite good. I would have liked mine a bit more well done (love a crispy dog), but when you’re dealing with such a high-volume establishment, you don’t get to pick and choose. Our friends from London, who were having their first CI experience, opted for the chili dogs. They seemed to enjoy them, although the comment I remember (re: the chili itself, as Lee stared at his fingers in fascination) was, “It stains!”
HOT DOG INVITATIONAL!?
Yah, dude. It was major. I feel like you were there in spirit.
