if you're talking hot dogs
Brooklyn has to be
the greatest
hot dog
capital
in the world
it's like this
it has 4000 Jewish delis
each with its own way
to do great hot dogs
with perfect mustards
and relish
onions
sauerkraut
on the side
then there's ebbets field
where you can die of joy
when you eat a dog there
screw the game
you came for dogs
and then there are
coney island hot dogs
hundreds of booths
selling dogs
but also home to the king
of all kings
NATHANS
the greatest undisputed seller
of mouth watering dogs
it's their own secret
tables outside with scores of dishes
heaped with
unheard of combinations
of toppings
ALL FREE
5 kinds of relish
5 kinds of onions
3 kinds of sauerkraut
4 different mustards
and 1 brand of ketchup
there is and will forever be
only heinz
and it's all free
as much as you want
free
and last but not least
the carts on the street
with umbrellas
boiling and steaming
great dogs
they are nothing to laugh at
so it always amazed me
that Bergs
our corner candy store
on the corner
of bristol and dumont
Brownsville
Brooklyn
sold hot dogs that
could kill you.
