Trying the $25 Hot Dog from Brooklyn Diner | NYC Hot Dog Stands 

My German fam in North Dakota still make their own sauerkraut && pickles 🌟💖

@@lfader that's fantastic. Growing up we did not make the kraut from scratch, but when you buy the fermented kraut in a jar it does still require cooking with seasoning. Every one pretty much has their own special recipe, as to what "should" be added etc. Same with potato salad. The arguments can go deep 😅 My parents both grew up in a big city, and making your own fermenting etc was not a popular thing. My moms early childhood was in the country. And my grandma had to make more things from scratch, including butchering the pig they raised. I think with modernization and moving into the big cities it just fell out of style. Just like in the States, the movement to return to old ways of making things, has returned for some. I myself had learned how to make homemade bread, including making my own sourdough starter, my mom never made her own breads. We did however cook most other dishes from scratch, and she baked cakes etc.

@@marlies7444 That's still very cool history - raised in a farm community under 800 people We had our own garden with everything We had chickens we had a barn etc but my grandmother once you walked into our root cellar which came in handy for tornadoes 🤣 was all Ball jars with everything She even made her own candy You brought up potato salad I forgot how outrageous good her potato salad was and her bread wow Yes the fermenting is a pain in the rear I'm not going to deal with it I get a lot of grief about weather and foods from my fam in North Dakota but we got to go with our skill set 😜 Great memories 🌟

Also add about the kraut on dogs Like with meals I was raised on We just had a side of sauerkraut next to potatoes or whatever and a lot of times I don't even put it on my dog I'll make room for onions or not and I have it on the side Honestly the only store-bought sauerkraut I really enjoy and I can't find it any more in stores It's online for about triple to five times more what I was paying for it is Bavarian sauerkraut by Libby's which has the caraway seeds A lot of people don't go for it but I love it I've tried adding Caraway seeds and fennel and it's okay but it's not the same When I boot leg food or a dish or a restaurant take out it always fall short 😭😁

@@lfader yes sauerkraut in Germany is a side dish to a dinner. With a Bratwurst it might get topped with sautéed onions. Most often Sauerkraut is served with pork dishes, like a dish called Schlachteplatte. Usually it has Leber and Blutwurst (liver and blood pudding sausage. Often with pork belly or ham hock. Of course Bratwurst as well. Yes we make our Sauerkraut with Caraway seeds as well. Often it's seasoned sweet and sour. Some add apples, they cook down. I personally like crushed pineapple in my Sauerkraut. And most often Speck or bacon are added, at the very least some fat like lard. I had found once a can that was already prepared with seasonings and cooked soft. I can not remember what brand it was. My hubby had picked it up. I might have to look for the one you mentioned. Another typical cabbage dish is Rotkohl. A braised red cabbage. It is usually served with beef dishes and Christmas Goose. I miss my German food. And don't get me started on bread 😅🤣

Thanks again!

His classic vids are the best

😂😂😂😂 that’s exactly what I thought too. For $24 the dog should be covered to the ends of the bun. 🤷‍♂️

I appreciate that!

Really? Jeez.

Thank you!

Raw or onion sauce rocks 👍

It did look bomb but what a crime to not have onions, especially at the price

German grandmother spoiled me 🥰

I do. Will do more. Just did a couple of spots in Queens.

@@NYCHotDogStands Awesome. Grew up there, so it would be great to see how you rate them

Me too. Flushing Queens. Home of the Mets!

@@NYCHotDogStands Grew up in Astoria and Auburndale, so I am near Citifield

No, you want the ‘Johnson’ to overwhelm the bun. 😜

Yup 👍

I was a huge Richardson fan.

Katz's 👑👑👑👍

Katz is the one to beat

For $30 you get 6 hot dogs at Katz's....... with no garnish (jk)

From a thousand to a million. Big range.

Really? ..there's something superlative in any hobby, pursuit, or discipline. There's a fine line between what may be a gimmick, and what actually can be something discerned to be explored or discovered. And the latter, you take chances. If you can't work hard enough or accomplish enough to go explore the depths of your hobby bc limitations you put on yourself because of what dear ol daddy said about money (which perhaps to you is the end all, be all) then I would unfortunately say, you are the "sucker" in life, no? Lol Thanks.

I love it on my fries... but its too overpowering on a dog.

Ya 🤔 think. Hahahahahahahaha 😂!!!
