On the news tonight they showed Nathan's Hot Dogs celebrating 100 years.
That year they sold hot dogs for five cents. To celebrate they were
selling them today for five cents too! They mentioned the lines were
long and some people were waiting for an hour.

My maximum for something like that would be no more than 10 minutes,
probably closer to five.

Are these worth waiting for?

Today at the Costclub food court the worker told me the hot dogs will
be ready in 5 minutes. Nah, make it a polish dog.

They are very good, but there are none worth waiting an hour for just
because they are cheap.

Some people have more time than money. Those two facts can be related.

Don't like Polish dogs, so I'd either wait for the hot dog or change
to a slice of pizza.

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.

It would have to be the only food around and I would have to
be really hungry. Of course, that would make the hour wait
a problem.

Having said that, I won't wait for anything for an hour. Not
much of an exaggeration, there is hardly anything I'll wait in
line for more than 10 minutes.

I can appreciate the novelty of a 5 cent hot dog in 2016...... but
.....waiting for an hour or two? No way.

I wonder if the sausages were of the same composition as those in 1916.

I agree. I won't even visit a 2nd grocery store just to save a few
pennies on something. I'd rather pay a bit more and eliminate the
extra trip. The gas probably costs that much anyway. Regardless, my
time has value to me too. I won't wait in some long line for any damn
thing.

lol. Only for me if they would let me buy mega amounts of hotdogs once
I waited in line.

I've said before...McDonald's offered 25 cent plain hamburgers for 2-3
months back in the early 1990's. No lines as the sale lasted for
months. I would go and buy 40 hamburgers at a time. Only $10 + tax.
Took them home and froze them 2 in a bag. Microwaved later, they
tasted just like fresh made.

That was glimpse of heaven for me. lol~

And...my God... Just imagine if Nathan's would let someone purchase in
bulk. At 5 cents per dog, that would give you *200* dogs and buns for
$10.oo plus tax. oh man!

I suspect those sausages would be freezer-burned after 100 years.

Most people weren't there for the 5¢ dawg, they were there to
participate in the celebration... to many Noo Yawkers Nathan's Coney
Island is a very important landmark. Were I still living nearby I'd
probably go and wait on line for however long it takes, and I'm sure
there was lots of camaraderie with discussions about Nathan's, an hour
would go very fast.... I've waited on line 10-15 minutes at the normal
present price... I've waited 20 minutes for a dozen cherrystones with
a Shaefer on tap.... many times I met people I know. Nathan's Coney
is all about the atmosphere, the sounds, the aromas of all kinds of
foods blended with the salt air.

I'd wait an hour to eat at Nathan's but I'd not wait an hour to board
a plane.

I'm with y'all there. I also don't wait long for friends anymore when there
is no good reason either like an emergency, traffic etc., 15 minutes and I
leave.

Not picking on anyone's choices but when I get a good beef
dog...Nathan's or Oscar Meyer (I've never seen or tried Caspars). All
I use is the hotdog on a very fresh bun. Taste of the dog is so good
on it's own, I don't add anything.

Sometimes I'll buy cheap dogs. That's when I'll load them up with
condiments.

My house guests here last week were telling me about all the crap from
Homeland Security they have to go through at airports. Luckily for me,
the last time I've flown is first week of September in 1979. Back
then, they still allowed smoking on board and even a 20 minute flight
from Albany to Philly they would offer you a tv dinner to eat. Then
from Philly to Norfolk...another dinner. Oh the good old days.

For most people before getting in the dawg line they'd first buy a
burger, fries, or some such to eat while waiting... I'd buy a couple
of their chow mein sandwiches, I loved them, I wonder if it's still on
their menu.

Don't forget to watch tv on July 4th and watch *someone* eat over 60
Nathans hotdogs with buns in just 12 minutes. "Inconceivable!" I
would never believe that if I didn't watch. Can you just imagine
eating over 60 in 12 minutes?

They are still the same at Nathan's Coney, made at a propriatary hot
dog manufacturer that only produces for Nathan's. Those sold at their
other outlet locations are not the same, those are the same as you can
buy in plastic packs at any market. Hebrew National are no longer the
same that were sold at kosher delis. Sabrett neither, however if
you're willing to pay the price you can still buy real Sabretts in
natural casing, still attached with a string knotted between each...
some NYC markets still sell them loose by the pound... look on line
for them.

Never heard of a chow mein sandwich but it sure sounds good right

Even if I had a ton of stores to choose from, going from store to store
doesn't make sense to me. They all carry pretty much the same food.
Parking, shopping *again*, checking out *again*, those things take time.
And of course there is the gas expense.

I'm not so enamored of hot dogs that I'd wait an hour for one regardless
of the brand or price.

Zero, since I don't particularly like hot dogs.

I doubt I'd wait an hour for food that I liked. I'd go somewhere
else, or stay home, or something.

I'm with you. I don't generally shop different stores, I'll go to
the one that has something I'm looking for and do all my shopping
there. It's just not worth it to me to drive all over to save a
buck here and there and spend it on gas to get there.

I have a few different stores that I shop it. Each one has certain
things that are better or cheaper than the others. One has lots of
small chickens or thin chicken breasts. One has good prices on staple
items. One has good fish. I think about what I need, which store is the
best for it and I go there that week.

I do 90% of my grocery shopping at a store conveniently located between
my workplace and my house. Every few weeks I hit another store that
has better meat and stock up on meat and a couple of other things
that I can't get at my usual place.

Some loved it's some despised it. Last I bought one they were 15¢, a
small investment. When I began eating Nathan's hot dogs they were a
dime, when they raised the price to 15¢ people freaked. There were no
cell phones then but so what, local calls were 5¢ and you could talk
however long you wanted, bless Ma Bell! Could ride NYC public
transportation all day and night for 5¢... bums lived in the subway
system... heated in winter and plenty of restos and vending machines
at the stations.

That pretty much describes my situation. There's a store just a
mile up the road from me, I do most of my shopping there because
it's just plain convenient. Less convenient is a store that has
different meats and things that I'll make the trip for every so
often.

That's leaving Costco out of it, that's another story.

It's funny to me how different stores seem to have strengths.
and weaknesses, of course.

The one where I like to go for chicken has mediocre beef and pork, and
no fresh fish, and very limited selection of other stuff. The one where
I like to go for good quality and prices on fruit and vegetables is bad
for meat, but has best prices on espresso coffee and cereal. The one
that has good meat and good meat prices has nice produce but it is a
small place and doesn't have much in the line of kitchen staples....
unless you are Italian.

I hope that would be a separate line.

Never heard of it. I see someone mentioned it is still on the
menu as of 2006.

Maybe over 12 days. I don't see why anyone would stress their body like
that.
