My Favorite Hot Dogs. (“Berks” Brand)

[Bearcarver]

My son who is in Jersey finishing up a job (Tower Crane Operator) swears how good the Hot Dogs are at Wa Wa I didn't try one while we were there wish I would Have.

Gary

Ah, Darn!!
I wish you would have tried one too!
You wouldn't believe how good those Berks Quarter Pounders are!!

I have a wawa about 15 minutes from my house (PA Turnpike exit at Lake Harmony) and there’s another one down the road in Blakeslee...I do a lot of fishing in that area so I’ll have to pop in for a hotdog lunch.

Yup, I saw that "Blakeslee" store on the Wawa Map.
Blakeslee is where the sample home was of my house (Kuhn's Bros Log Homes) when we purchased it about 17 years ago.
I think that one is THE farthest North Wawa on their Map.
Get the Quarter Pounder---You'll love it!

Foot longs yea buddy. Do you remember outfit called Swanky Franks all kinds of fancy hot dogs and foot longs.

Warren

No, don't remember that company.
But Thanks for the Like.

I have never seen Berks way down South where we reside but Nathans is plentiful and our go to dog! I work up North and Northeast a good bit so I will start looking for Berks and give them a try.

Thank You!!
Nathan's is one of the "Top Dogs" up here too.
However if you do get to SouthEast Pa, DE, or the southern 2/3 of Jersey, just look for one of the Many Wawa Stores, and go for the Quarter Pound Dogs they have ready for you. You'll love them!!
And Thanks for the Like.

Just knew they were good didn't know what kind they were though.

Warren

Yup, exactly what I thought the first time I got one from Wawa.
Then after a few more times, I asked them who's Dogs they used.
They said always Berks.
Everybody loves them.

All this hot dog talk has me hankering. The wife ran to the store today while I was at work. I told her to get me a pack of dogs since I’m eating solo.

Thanks for scratching that itch, Bear!

Down here in East Texas, we a several brands most I don't care for, We do have Nathan's which is the only one we buy. How does Nathans compare ??

Gary

Nathan's are very popular up here too, but only thought to be #1 by those who never had a Berks Hot Dog. So are Hebrew National, and a couple others.

Funny you brought that up . Couple weeks ago I asked about foot longs at the meat market . He told me he can get the dogs , but not the buns . Says that's why he don't sell them , but who knows .

Hmmm--Never thought about the rolls.
I guess that could be a problem if they don't make their own to sell with them.
Or a little Elmer's Wood Glue on 2 regular Rolls. LOL

yeah my wife got some footlongs a couple weeks ago, I think they were salhem brand or something like that, anyway she asked about the buns they said they don't sell them, so yeah bear we put 2 regular rolls together, actually worked better then I thought it would.

That’s a stuffed cherry pepper with prosciutto and provolone cheese. I get them at Wegmans. They sell them already prepackaged at the salad bar, or you could pick a fewer amount yourself.

They sell by weight, the pre packaged ones usually have 8 or 9 peppers for around $6
