FWIW, the "ONLY" time I use Catsup is when making my Shrimp Cocktail Sauce and NEVER on a Dawg or Sammich.
Its all good, deep down I'm not the guy to say what should and shouldn't be put on or in food. I just enjoy watching how passionate people are when it comes to food. Examples that are great are the whole beans in chili, ketchup on hotdogs, and another is the whole Italian Hotdog thing up here in Jersey.
No lie, I witnessed what was for sure gonna be an old school fist fight between two guys arguing over the ( bread ) being used for one.
Now, in the one guys defense, yes...the Pita is traditional but I've seen them on Hotdog rolls and even Sourdough but C'MON GUYS......It's a #&;:#!÷= Hot Dog !!!!....Grow Up lol..
When I was running the cart, I always had Ketchup/Catsup there for anyone that wanted it. It was and still is Big with the kids and if that's what they like, good on them
I used to laugh at one guy that was good for stopping by 4 out of the 6 days for some dogs.
He was straight from the Bronx. I knew it the very first time he showed up. He grilled me and questioned me like I was on trial for Treason....
Are you sure these are Real Sabrettes??
Are these Skinless or Natural Casing Sabrettes ??
Are you sure this is Real Sabrette Red Onion Sauce ??
Is this Sauerkraut Sabrette Sauerkraut ??
I hope you don't use Yellow Mustard..Brown is the right Mustard to use...
Now, keep in mind this is how he approached me..., no hello or anything !!
Part of me wanted to tell him to Take A Hike, but I didn't take it personal because it was a Business and that kind of stuff goes with the territory.
So,instead of answering a single question, I broke the ice by doing two things..
I answered him by saying...
Soooo, what borough of NYC are you from ? And then handed him a Mustard and Kraut Dog and said...This one is on me......Waited for him to take a bite, realize it had " the snap " and process what he was tasting and said to him...... Did I pass ???
Lol, we hit it off great from there on out.
He would come in often during the week and sometimes bring his son which was hilarious. He would give ME the old stink eye when his son would ask for Ketchup. He would just shake his head and ask his son how he could ruin a hotdog with Ketchup ? Would tell him Ketchup is for Hamburgers..
Anyways, I thought it was funny what you said about the Catsup so I figured I'd tell you that funny story.
I miss the customers most of all, good memories.
Yep, the food debates will live longer than Cockroaches and Twinkies
