Nothing compares to a fresh, out-of-the-pan hot dog topped with mushrooms, sauerkraut, onions, ketchup, mustard, and anything else they have, with a cold aluminum can of "The Real Thing" Coke, and a bag of crispy, salty Fritos corn chips on the side. Best eaten "al fresco" at the picnic table provided, where you can share with any avian opportunist that shows up while people watching.

Sounds great, especially because I was a Lucky Dog vendor on the streets of New Orleans as a youth. I would still be doing that job if dicing onions didn't make me weep uncontrollably.
When my granddaughter was going to chef school she told me about the three "Mother" sauces, Béchamel, Velouté, and Espagnole, which I assume are French for ketchup, mustard, and mayonaise. I don't get much better than that stuff slathered over a nice meat and juice balloon....when you can't find a nice Po Boy.
