the best hotdogs I've ever had are at a place here in NYC called Gray's Papaya on 72nd St and Amsterdam Avenue.

Anthony Bourdain had that place on his show, he says the same thing.

Classic Ohio, hotdogs and correctional facility fields trips!

Don't forget the Amish.

Did he? I wasn't aware of that.

Like I said, I'm not hotdog expert/aficionado, but those tasted very good to me. They're multiple times better than any I had ever had in my home or anyone else's. They're relatively inexpensive, as well. At Gray's Papaya, the Recession Special is 2 hotdogs and a drink for $4.95. That's a good price for NYC.

The thing with NYC is that there are, apparently, very good hotdogs available in many, many places including on street corner vendors (I haven't had any of those).

NYC hotdogs are the best. Gotta get a Nathans, Sabretts, or Hebrew National.

I miss Adam West doing the Hebrew National ads.

My coworker went there last year, and she was very happy with the Recession Special.

I'm not a hotdog guy myself, but I might be inclined to grab either the philly steak or breaded chicken, and wash it down
with one of those shakes, who's counting calories?

I ate there while I was working out in California. I liked it.

I always loved the American way in Hot Dogs. The Onion you guys use there is fantastic. Anyway, I thought you'd be surprised to see how Hot Dogs (or "completos") as we call them, are prepared here in my country. This is only Chilean, no other country --not even our neighbors-- do them this way. They go with Tomato, Avocado, and Mayo.

They're good, very good actually, but I still prefer the way they're done in the States.

Also, I can see the prices in the US are great, too.

[J.B.]

I don't eat hot dogs, nothing but lips and assholes in them.

Yeah, Gray's Papaya is yummy! There used to be one in the Village as well, but I think it is gone now.

[EmergencyIan]

^ You're right. The location on 6th Ave and 8th Street is closed as is the location that was at 8th Ave and 37th Street. I had been in the Village location once. I believe my wife stopped in there for one of their drinks.

That's a tasty-looking frankfurter, E. I would never have thought of avocadoes--is it like quacamole?

Guacamole is a Mexican preparation. I'm not sure if there is any other Latinamerican countries where they do anything similar, but here in Chile we have nothing quite like it. What we use on our "Completos" (Hot dogs) is mashed avocadoes with nothing else added. Just mashed avocadoes and some salt. And actually, we have that with bread almost on a daily basis. I know Mexicans, or peoples from anywhere else might think that's funny. My father told me in Brazil people have avocadoes with sugar. Now that's sounds funny to me.
