Foot long hot dogs can't find them anymore

[Duncanpup]

Just a memory from my childhood foot longs today hot dogs chili onions sweet or hot peppers debauchery on a bun for cyber school, was telling my guys about foot longs I’m positive they were not interested as their eyes glazed over.

1. In my hometown we had a place we called "Dirty Nick's Hot Dogs"

Imagine a big, sweaty guy lining up hot dog buns on his greasy arm as he filled them with hot dogs and a terrific chili sauce. This was many years ago as he couldn't get away with that today. We didn't care as the dogs were fantastic

2. 40+ years ago, All in the Family had an episode with Archie obsessing

about his foot-long hot dogs.

6. Eight years old on Huntington Beach pier in the early 1970s

with my cousin who was like a sister to me. One of my best memories. Listening to Dr. Hook singing The Cover of the Rolling Stone.

Had to be the tastiest dogs I ever had. It wasn't the dog though (at least not entirely).

8. I know that teenager eye glaze.

For some reason it happens when I tell mine about what TV was like in my youth.

Good luck on the foot long hot dog search!

9. It's hard to find a good chili dog.

My favorite hot dog stand closed permanently last fall before I could have one more. RIP Danny’s Dogs.

A chili dog with lots of onions is ambrosial.

Come to beautiful Bay City…Zef’s Coney Island.

The BEST coney in the state. Biggest difference…homemade chili not from a can. Decades old family recipe.
How good? When we get a hankering for dogs we go to Zef’s and it’s little over an hour trip and we gotta go into the big city.

12. Lots of good eats in Bay City.

The town has come a long way from what it was 30 years ago.

14. 2 seconds on my non Google search engine

turned up multiple sources for the dogs, both pork and beef, plus 2 sources for the buns.

They're out there, you just need to order them.

16. When I was a kid, a foot long hot dog was always the first thing I'd eat

at the Iowa State Fair. I haven’t had one in years.
