There must be something about Greeks and hot dogs. There was a hole in the wall stand in Tulsa run by a bunch of Greeks. I ate there every day.
They were so good that I tried to duplicate them but never could. I did notice the wieners were Swift and the buns were bunny bread. I thing the secret was in the sauce which was called chili but really wasn’t it was a mild chili type sauce, also the onions were very mild.
I also noticed they grilled them right in front of the window. Started with maybe 50 and kept adding more as they sold. They kept the wieners rolling so when you got yours it had moved over most of the grill and was well done by the time you got it.
Still was never able to make one as good as they did.
Best hamburger joint in the world is Western Steakburger
Gus was greek and Maria the wife was spanish
Never under estimate the flavoring of a well seasoned grill
Same here when I was in college back in the 60s. A hole in the wall owned by Greeks -- two chili dogs and coffee for lunch every day. Only 75 cents. Good dogs too but after a couple of years off that diet, I swore off dogs for a long time.
