Haute Dogs in New York

For my money, I would still rather have a brat slathered with Secret Stadium Sauce at the old Milwaukee County Stadium. but if I get a hunger for a hot dog on my next trip to NYC, I'll know where to get one.

This story in today's New York Times (registration required) runs the gamut from Nathan's Famous at Coney Island to $19-a-pop dogs made with Kobe beef. Thankfully, reporter Ed Levine knows his franks well enough not to mislead by the Hamptons-ization of this most American of foods. (FDR and Eleanor served them to the English Royal Family when they visited the U.S. in the 1930s).

Lots of good information and oddball facts to be found here.
