...can anyone(more "Seasoned" Citizens) tell me what brand(s) of Hot Dogs were sold @ both the New York Polo Ground(NY Giants) and Ebbets Field(Brooklyn Dodgers) AND can they still be obtained?
Can they still be obtained? Is this company still in business?
How are the “Hebrew National” hot dogs?
I used to love their commercial (”We answer to a higher authority”)
what kind of dogs?
Good ones.
There is something yummy about a hot dog that has been stewing in hot water for hours
Sugar butter cinnamon on white bread lightly toasted
my kids still eat them
I used to eat Post’s Frosted Rice Krinkles like they were going out of style. I guess I was the only one, they stopped making them in the 80’s sometime and now you have some half baked replacement Fruity Pebbles (they are ok now and then but not like Krinkles).
I am still angry about that.
I doubt that any tasty foods from our childhood . . . 50s and 60s, are still available. Sure, the brand name still exists, but chemicals and additives have changed it so that it is no longer the same.

Indeed. We were just discussing this recently in a family group. Have you tried Tastykake products recently? Always a favorite in our lunches. Now just awful.
Cinnamon toast. YUM Still have it often. My daughter requests it when she’s under the weather. She requires that it be cut in vertical strips, 4 or 5 strips per slice of toast.
My mom would take the “going stale” hamburger and hot dog buns and butter them, brown on a griddle or skillet, then add the cinnamon and sugar.
I don’t know about the two ballparks that you mention, but I remember getting David Berg brand hotdogs at Wrigley field in Chicago during the 60’s and they were outstanding. Plump, juicy, thick-skinned.. You almost had to bite all the way down before the skin broke and the flavor exploded in your mouth. Yummy!
Agreed. Nostalgia brings up the memory of going into a different County where all the brands were different from the brands in ones home County. (Circa 1946.)It was like getting a whole new ice cream!
No on the hot dog thing but guessing Nathans. But I am fortunate to have seen Willie Mays at the Polo Grounds and Duke Snyder up close at Ebbets Field. My dad grew up in NYC.
."...I know the difference between Yankee's hot dogs and the ones over at the mets. You get to eat Yankee dogs in October"
Sabrett’s
For which Ball Park?
Back then, H.M. Stevens had a lock on all three ballparks, MSG (49 St.) and Aqueduct racetrack....possibly Yonkers, Jamaica and Belmont as well, but not sure on those.
At Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati, we used to enjoy Kahn’s Hot dogs while rooting for the Big Red Machine. Kahn’s... “the wiener the world awaited”
When I was just starting my career in Manhattan and did not have two coins to rub together, we used to say "Let's dine al Fresco at Sabrett's today" (all the hot dog stands there)
They were delish!
