POI Factory Hot Dog Shop discussion

I didn't read through all the posts. If it is not here, this is the original list from the PBS show.

http://www.wqed.org/tv/natl/hotdogs/hd_places.shtml

There should be a special POI for the places mentioned in the show. Otherwise it just doesn't seems to be special anymore.

WAY BACK on the first page of this forum
Not a problem, I have updated the co-ordinates.

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion, BUT, since you need to be a member to buy (Even if you can easily "sneak in") I don't really feel it belongs in the list.

Thanks for your input... it is now in the list

Dom

Thanks,

If you have the time, could you go through the site and submit it in an easier form for me to submit from. It sure would make my life easier.

Thanks
Dom

We are huge fans of the Costco dog deal, however Perrdom is right, we would not want to direct someone to a great hot dog and have them not be able to get one because they are not a member.

Miss POI

Yeah, good point, didn't consider the membership requirement...

The Harvey's Locations have been added to the database.

Hi!

Just found this site and LOVE this idea. I cannot believe that Ted's has only been mentioned once. They have regular dogs, jumbo dogs & footlong dogs plus burgers & chicken too. You just can't beat a good charbroiled dog.

We love Ted's. They have 9 locations. 8 in Western, NY and one in Arizona.

Sorry but the coordinates were off a little. They should have been N37.71034 W85.87531 this is very close to the entrance to the parking lot and where you can see Norm's once you pull in.

Hi!

I've acquired a love for Chicago-style hotdogs. I found a website run by two Madisonians (Chicago transplants): http://www.hotdogchicagostyle.com/rate_madison.php

I've tried several of these locations, and I agree with the writer's opinions.

I've attached the data for the eleven Wisconsin locations that received either five or four-and-a-half "hearts".

Thanks!

Thanks, I have submitted your entries.

The hat was ok, but Pinks if you can handle the wait is better.

I didn't check the coordinates, but just want to confirm that Dogs Afoot in Port Townsend is not to be missed. However, it's only open May thru October (and has been on that schedule for about 20 years), but that is hot dog season, is it not? It's all about quality and simplicity.

Thanks.
Yep, it was in the database (Madison St & Water St). I have added "Open May thru October" in the notes field.

Coney Island:
Galesburg · 77 S. Cherry St.

Its famous (ok locally famous) for its coney dog, but technically that is a hot dog right.

Thanks for your input. It is now in the database.

Have a great First, or Fourth, depending on latitude. H.

My wife, who was born here, gave me another, in city. It is of similar age to Skinner's and has walls of famous people pictures. They have great 'burgers and fries also.

It is now in the system. I used a reverse lookup and used the address generated from your co-ordinates

Thanks for your input, BUT these are already in the database. In the future, if you could include the co-ordinates, it does make data entry sooo much easier.

Thanks, I have now entered these.

And it also has been entered.....

Inexpensive and good. About 50 toppings to choose from and other choices too (like burgers, etc.) I think they are there spring to fall and there are always at least 5 people there.
