Thumbs up Thumann's hot dogs

Thumann's hot dogs are natural casing dogs that really snap when you bite into them. The best place for these here in NJ is Hiram's (about 1/2 mile south of the George Washington Bridge) in Fort Lee, NJ. They deep fry the dogs until the skin splits open. This place has been around since the late 1920's -- my grandparents went there before they married in 1930! An order of "21" which translates as 2 dogs and 1 order of fries is just heaven. Some add sauerkraut, but I just add a little spicy gray mustard. Ah, it's making hungry as I'm typing this. Thumann's even broil up nicely at home in the toaster oven. Yum.............
