Default How long would you wait for a hot dog?

I've read stories about people in NY waiting very long times for food. I
don't like hot dogs and likely would never eat one. But I suppose if I were
starving and poor, I would wait.

I got Bar S hot dogs for 48 cents per package at Winco. Expire in July. Buns
were 68 cents. I believe you get 10 dogs per pack and only 8 buns. It's
probably a toss up for my husband as to whether hot dogs or pizza are his
favorite foods. I rarely serve either although I have been getting more
pizza because some of Angela's friends like it.

His first job before going into the Coast Guard was owning a hot dog cart.
He served Sabrett's. That job didn't pan out because he mainly just wanted
the money and to eat the hot dogs. His mom cooked them and he said he would
pay some kid to watch the cart for him. When the food was all gone, he took
the money and bought records with it.

His dad got mad when he found out what he'd been doing and sold the cart.
This made his brothers mad as they wanted a shot at it. And knowing how they
both are, they likely would have done well with it.
