This place has been in business since 1946, I guess after 65 years they should be the "best"....
Notice how "cheap" the menu is, a hot dog with fries for $2.28? No wonder the place was packed....I was inside taking pictures and a gentleman behind the counter kept waving at me....I thought he wanted me to take his picture....no, he proceeded to politely tell me that NO PICTURE TAKING ALLOWED. I thought that was mighty strange, like I said there was not much style to the place. My little devious mind figured maybe they had some "illegals" working behind the counter who definitely did not want their pictures taken. Did I just say that?? But really, no pictures???
But we can now all say we have eaten at the "best' hot dog place in the United States.
We headed back to the burbs, picked up a newspaper to see what was playing at the movies, we are all such movie freaks, and decided to go see "Real Steel" at the IMAX.
Good movie, great special effects and a really sweet story, and I gotta say, that Hugh Jackman is really nice on the eyes. Ofcourse popcorn and coke were right beside me as I watched those robots battle in the ring.
After the movie it was on to Chili's for a drink, definitely was not hungry for dinner, since I had pretty much been in constant eating mode most of the day.
What goes better with margaritas that chips & salsa, a few loaded baked potato skins and spinach dip, a three-stage-palate-pleaser!! But where was my nutrition for the day?? The little bit of spinach in the dip? Oh my, not a good day and my stomach let me know it about 2:00 AM in the morning. But we sure had fun, eating & drinking & talking. Good friends, good times.
