Secrets of the City

No Dome Dogs?

I was happy to see the Cheese Coneys in Cincinnati. Man, a day doesn’t go by where I wish I could egt a good Cheese Coney here.

Dome dogs are frankly (get it?) not very good. They’re fat, salty, watery sausages from the cheap side of the kielbasas family.
A better deal would be to hit Hormel dollar dog night on some future Weds at the Dome. The Hormel dogs are nothing special, somewhat taudry even, but hey, they’re a dollar so who can argue?

I haven’t been to new Milwaukee yet. I wonder if the Secret Stadium Sauce made the move from old County Stadium.

I saw an article on this same topic in another publication a month or two ago, and I believe they recommended the Stadium Sauce… I’ve really got to trek over to Miller Park some day soon.

1) MIL: How can you do a brat @ Miller Park w/o Stadium Sauce?

2) DET: Funny that they rip the Pizza @ CoPa in Detroit…Pizza Guy owns the team. Avoid giving your kid the Mike’s Hard Lemonade.

3) LA: Dodger Dog myth finally exposed

4) MPLS: Our food sucks, but Famous Dave’s brisket sandwich should be the Metrodome #1

5) AZ: The Biersch garlic fries in AZ are dangerous. They had what seemed like a whole bulb of garlic.

6) CHISOX: LOL…Just one more reason to avoid that stadium and the dirtbag fans. Sorry, Matt.

7) CUBS: I thought the char-grilled chicago dogs were great. but that could have been the beer talking.

PIT: how can you skip Primanti Brothers’ sandwich? lame.

Hear, hear in re: PNC Park’s Primanti Bros booth.
Manny’s BBQ? I found it rather unremarkable the one time I tried it during my “year in the Burgh.”
Totally a bad call. Kind of calls to question the authority of the rest of the article.

my chicago friends are taking this piece to task, saying Wrigley food is awful and US Cellular food is among the best. and these aren’t southsiders by any stretch. maybe i will go to US Cellular. nah, just kidding.

There’s still secret stadium sauce in Milwaukee. It, and the brats, are pretty overrated if you ask me. Carefully controlled experimentation has established that the polish is the way to go.

Mm. Is it shoe polish or furniture polish?

Not having been to any parks besides here, Wrigley and Kansas City, I’ll put the Dome Dog up against any ballpark hotdog. Even the vaunted Dodger Dog, which quite frankly I thought wasn’t anything special.

Considering most hotdogs are made from lips and assholes, it’s a wonder that people eat them at all…unless they’re Hebrew Nationals…

Lips and assholes? Wasn’t that a category on Ed’s porn actress graph?

How can they rip on the gloriousness of Little Caesars in Detroit? I’m doing my best to keep them in business around here…

Rubio’s fish tacos should have been a no-brainer at Petco Park in SD.

There’s a Little Caeser’s near the Lake Street light rail station. I’ve been thinking about going. I haven’t had their pizza in years.

In what can only be described as an act of ihumane torture, they put this right at the exit of the YWCA.

Hmmm… Pizza…

Right, that’s enough Hmmm… stuff.
Is an iHumane a new apple product?

My “Little Caesars” story…

Last year we were preparing to go to the BWCAW. It was about 12:15AM. I walked down to the mailbox to send off some letters. (It is the only sure way they get sent.) In any event, there is a pizza place nearby, and I wondered if they were open. I thought I could really go for a pizza right then. I drop off the letters, and I wait for the light to change, and a car full of Little Caesars employees drive up and say, “Hey, would you like a free pizza?” I must have been sending off “Pizza wanting vibes” for blocks, and these guys tracked me down. The rest of the trip was a lot like that…

I was weaned on Little Caesars, and if you truly are what you eat, looking @ me you’d be well advised to stay away. In hindsight, the only good thing about Little Caesar’s was their late 80’s early 90’s ad campaign. Ever hear of Origami?

I’ve got a brother?

Wow. The origami is silly; the brother is scary.

There’s an LC in on Univ. Ave. in Midway, too. $5 per pie? Can’t beat it. Actually I’ve only been there like twice in the last 2 years, but I always mean to make a habit of it. Guess I’m just waiting for the resurrection of The Bigfoot.
