My Favorite Hot Dogs. (“Berks” Brand)
It’s been so long since I’ve seen these, I almost forgot how good they were.
When I was working for my Son, I was driving 100 to 300 miles per day, mostly doing Tower Inspections, Tower Inventories, and Azimuth & Down-tilt Adjustments. About 70% of the time these jobs were in Jersey & Delaware, which is where the WaWa Food Stores seem to be most Prominent.
Back then, my Son would give me one of his Climbers for the day, and we’d go from Job to Job. If the Climber got to work with me, he knew we’d be stopping at a WaWa for lunch, instead of Burger King or Wendy’s, unless there wasn’t a good Hot Dog place in the area.
WaWa always had their “Berks” Quarter Pound Hot Dogs, and sometimes they were in a Heated glass case, so I could just Grab 2 of them & about 4 or 5 little packs of Mustard, stop at the cash register quickly, and back out to the Truck.
Berks Hot Dogs are made by “Berks Foods”, in Reading, PA, and WaWa sells them all the time, but they don’t seem to sell them any way other than cooked. We’ve been looking all around the area, and all we can find is their “Regular Size” Dogs. They taste Great too, but I’ve always been a firm believer that regular Hot Dogs are generally too much Roll & not enough Hot Dog to my Liking.
So the search goes on. I’m sure I’ll find them some place, but in the mean time I’ll keep eating the Berk’s Regular Dogs, because they are the best tasting Dogs around, in my book. I’ve been thinking if I can’t find the “Quarter Pounders” I might try putting 2 Dogs in one Roll.
A note about Condiments: When I was a Kid, the Dogs I made over an open wood fire, when camping with the Family, got lots of Ketchup on them. Then at about Age 14 or 15 I tried Mustard, and liked it, because Ketchup started tasting too Sweet to Me. Ever since that it’s been Mustard, usually Plain Yellow Mustard, but I’ve used Spicy, Brown, and Horseradish Mustard on occasion. If I’m forced to eat a less Tasty Hot Dog, I might put some Hot Dog Relish on it to help with the flavor, but as long as it’s a “Berks” All Beef Hot Dog, I’ll normally go with just Yellow Mustard.
I also like a good Chili Dog, but you’ll never catch me dragging any Hot Dogs through the garden, and wouldn’t even think about eating a Hot Dog that had so much Garbage on it that I can’t even see the Dog, let alone taste it.
Here’s some of the Little Guys (below), with Mustard to show you what they look like, and some Baked Beans on the side. One of these days I’ll show you what the Quarter Pounders look like.
Thanks For Stopping By,
