Nathan's Hot Dogs


Originally from Coney Island. The best goddamned dogs available. Anywhere. And kosher to boot. I knew someone who cooked them 'german-style', which means cooking them very very slowly in water for about 45 minutes, so they got all slick and tender and flavorful--not rubbery like most home-made hot dogs, but velvety and full of these succulent oils--they'd dissolve in your mouth, and with some hot mustard and sauerkraut--well, I don't even LIKE hot dogs that much, but these, these were jewish nirvana.

I love them so much that on my next next birthday I want to make a pilgramage to Coney Island to see the bearded lady and eat a Nathan's hot dog.
