Good point about faking visitors. I believe Nathan's original hot dog stand planted shills, fake doctors eating lunch to entice passerbys to stop and spend.
"Nathan's Famous" are a "Least-Coast" favorite, not just Nova Yawk. But WTH? It really is more marketing than meat.
While they are by no means the worst of wurst, neither are they any match for what the Pennsylvania "Deutsch" make not that far way, nor Italians, Northern especially, nor other one-time Northern Europeans out in the upper midwest.
For that matter, the Chinese make some seriously good wurst!
I recall a discussion with the Ex-wife over my insistence she buy Kosher all-beef franks. She said "But this cheaper brand is ALSO 'all beef'."
Sure I sez, but "Kosher" also dictates from what PARTS of the Beef is legal.
The ones YOU picked are "all beef" alright. Beef assholes, belly-buttons, guts, udders, vaginas, dicks, and other "beef" by-products. Just not
pork guts, weasel, squirrel, or skunk.
Or so we hope.
Yah don't actually have to be Jewish to appreciate the difference the ingredients starting-point can make!
"Chicken" franks? Industrially pressure-cooked guts and
feathers, even?
Avocado, thanks. Harder to fake, if nothing else!
