Ball Parks and Sabretts are SPAM dogs. Having to make a choice I'd rather
have Sabretts with kraut and Guldens brown in NYC on any street corner
rather than Ball Park franks at the Citizen's Bank Park at a Phillies game!

I've been eager to try Papaya King and Grey's Papaya in uptown Manhattan,
as seen on Food TV.

Gray's Papaya (if they stil exist, at least some have changed
to other names) are pretty good, if it's skinny hot dogs
you want. Not as good as dogs you get in Chicago or Rochester
but those are a different, fatter style.

A feature of the Gray's Papaya operation is the grilled onions.
Be sure to ask for them when you order.

Burned Nathans from the side of the grill.

:-) lots of green relish.

At Nathans, quite often the grill (or griddle) is always going and has lots
of hot dogs. Sometimes the dogs do not sell as quickly as the grill person
would anticipate. Ergo off to the side there are the burnt or charred dogs.

IMHO better then the others.

In addition Nathans had a fluorescent green relish. Very good stuff.

Yes really.

Citizen's Bank Park serves Phillies franks made by Hatfield, at least
according to the Hatfield website.
I've tried Sabrett's and was not impressed. Best hotdog I ever had was at
Maui dogs in Wildwood NJ. I've always wanted to try Yocco's.

If thats the case it isn't hard to understand why they are lame.
Hatfield used to be a average quality packer and got into making cheap
quality for big box.

They aren't bad. They are skinny dogs.

They are actually in midtown on the west side. One is 3 blocks up from
Penn station.
