Ten Reasons Why I Love the D

New Yorkers associate Coney Island hotdogs with Nathans hot dogs. I don't know or really care how these others came to be called Coney Island dogs, but I assure you they are not served on Coney Island. I gagged the first time I had a Sonic CI dog.

Thank you for that, billryan!

I realize that the world pretty much ends at the Hudson but, nonetheless, we bumpkins in flyover country are on pins and needles hoping to learn how you like your Nathan’s Coney dogs.

I’m gonna guess steamed bun, chili, mustard, onions, and a big dollop of arrogance. Close?


(Even in flyover country, there are other choices besides Sonic, but I see there's now one in Staten Island. Bastards are closing in on NYC. Looks like you're gettin' outta there just in time.)

We have a writer in Indianapolis, and when I first read his stuff I assumed that was was from the East Coast........I was correct. You see Billy, a great percentage of those in NYC are obnoxious, brash, loud, ugly people, and the balance of the country is very happy to have you fly right over us. You see Bill, we look strangers in the eye and say hello as they walk by on the sidewalk or through the market. We stop to push a stranger's vehicle out of the snow bank. We're nice to each other.

Please continue to fly over Indianapolis.

The D,not so much. The music is too LOUD for me and it's usually too smokey in there and I'm a smoker!
The best music in a casino is at The Downtown Grand : 80's rock hits and there is a sub-woofer in there,somewhere. Just the right noise level where the D's is about double that.
Maybe ear plugs would help.Free at the DTG.

When the Vegas Club was still open,THAT was the loudest music EVER.
I had to lip read my buddy at the Black jack table and he was sitting next to me.

Nathans hot dogs are grilled, served on a room temperature bun ,with mustard. They now have diced onions for the tourists that request them, but that's it. I just dont get why a hot dog style that evidently originated in the Mid-West is called Coney Island hot dogs. Wherever I travel, if I see a place say they sell NY Style pizza, I know what I'm getting. the style of pizza popular in NY. Same when I see Chicago style, or Philly Cheesesteak. you know what you are getting- a dish based on the style popular where the name comes from.
Suppose I was to make a teriaki chicken dish and decide to advertise it as Southern Fried Chicken. False advertising, right?
Coney Island hot dogs- the ones people actually go to Coney Island for- are night and day different from the ones people latched the name onto. I just dont get why they dont call them Detroit style, or Mid-West style.
It just strikes me as very odd that you can't find anything close to a so-called Coney Island hot dog in Coney Island.
What that has to do with people in Boilers neighborhood driving hoopies that need to be pushed to the side of the road, I dont know. Lets just agree he is special.

Wow, this is a lot of talk over a hot dog. So much it's worth repeating.

If you notice under regional variations the Texas wiener was created in Patterson, NJ or Altoona, PA
Oh no, more false advertising!!

Considering that the break-even point for 8/5 Bonus with 80-40-25 is a $1397 Royal Flush, I'm sure you are correct that it's 100% + from time to time especially with the 4OAK progressives.
