There is nothing more sure to create a craving than telling me I can't have something. This was never more true than recently, when I read a news account of a new hot dog joint called AMAZING HOT DOG, which isn't too far away from me. They specialize in locally made, quarter pound natural casing hot dogs which are deep fried and wrapped in bacon, then topped with a variety of traditional and some not so traditional toppings. Unfortunately, after opening to rave reviews, the place experienced a fire which closed it down, But the owners didn't let this little inconvenience keep them down, and have quickly rebuilt and are shooting for a May 1st opening. I MUST try these soon, but till then, a few "weiner links" to tide me over:
