Nathan's hot dogs... an addiction

A year ago when I spent a week with my friend Joanna, near Washington, DC, she got me hooked on Nathan's hot dogs.  Somehow Nathan's taste like I remember wieners tasting when I was a child, so they've become one of my "comfort foods". 

I couldn't find them in my area when I came home, and Joanna kindly had some shipped to me for my birthday last year, and then for Christmas.  Believe me, I was very stingy with them.  Cliff got a couple, and I may have once shared with his sister and her husband.  Otherwise, I kept them in the freezer and doled them out sparingly, even to myself.

Today I found them in Price Chopper, one of the stores where I often shop!  They may have been there all this time, because they're so outnumbered by the displays of Armour hot dogs, and Oscar Meyer, and all the other well-advertised brands... but now I have them any time I want them.

Some days are diamonds.

Joanna, please don't be getting me addicted to any more foods; I don't need the weight gain.

Before I found Nathans, I hadn't had but maybe 10 hotdogs my entire life. I love them also and so glad that you found them. I like them best grilled, just like they do at Coney Island.    Anne  p.s. are you gonna be serving them at the reunion?

Zweigle's are my personal fav. But I think they're an Upstate NY thing. People who move away still have their families and friends ship them to them wherever they are.  Nathan's are yummy too. ~ Lori
