The closest vendor to The Villages that I have found is a small trailer in the open space on 466 across from Laurel Manor pool. The Sabrett dogs found in supermarkets are not the same as those sold through pushcart vendors.
Nothing like a "dirty water" hot dog from a cart with mustard and saurkruat ..Natural casing with that crunch when you bite... Closest I have come to it is a Boars Head Natural casing hot dog sold in publix.
