Blessed is this street vendor of the NYC holy dirty-water-hot-dog ... for without him, we'd GO HUNGRY from dawn until dusk until evening until night until dawn once again ... oh, and there is always the beloved Salty Pretzel too ....

Cute story. I used to dine on chili dogs and jamaican meat pies back when I worked in the financial district. Nice old lady had a cart near my building with fantastic chili dogs. I even considered getting my own cart. I really hated corporate work. Buncha losers.

He's going to relish his retirement.

This is corny, but I love the NY Post for its style. Used to always pick up a copy on the train. I don't miss those days. But the Post was always entertaining reading.

Salud!

Message to obamabots. See, nobody can stop you when you come here/live here looking for a better life, and doing what you can for yourself to make a better future for your kids. Living on welfare, food stamps, and section 8 just so you can put nike sneakers and designer clothes on your babies isn’t the path to success in the US. It perpetuate poverty, slavery and dependence. Dirty water hot dog guy got it, did it, and can now reap the benefit of a true retirement.....his childrens success!

Now that he’s retired, I guess he can dog it now.

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.

Hot dog man isn't anybody's fool.

Betcha he's letting his cousin run the stand and he still gets a cut of the action.
