Why Are Hot Dogs The Must Eat Junk Food?

That would be Jacks BBQ

I love that place. Next to Lexington BBQ in NC, Jacks is my favorite. Is Jacks the best in Nashville?

The next time we come, where's the "best" place to have a great Nashville meal? Something that's distinctly Nashville. It doesn't have to be BBQ, just something you'll only get in Nashville.

I had a feeling the airport food-court wouldn't be the most authentic experience.

Haha, aww. That's cute. How was it?

Ha! When I first moved to Pittsburgh, I got an overnight shift at the local landmark hot dog place: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essie's...l_Hot_Dog_shop (wiki link because they don't seem to have an actual website). People would ask for hot dogs with everything. You would then have to ask item by item, because "everything" often didn't mean chili, peppers, relish or any number of condiments. Everyone has a different idea of "everything" but they expect you to know (though to be fair, most of the business happened after the bars closed, and tormenting the people working at the O was sort of a hobby, I discovered). Still a fun place to go to get a TON of fries, hot cheese and a cheap 40!

And while we're talking about hot doggeries, if any of you find yourself in Liverpool, NY, I'm sorry. But stop at Heid's: http://heidsofliverpool.com/ Can't vouch for their hot dogs but their Ginger Beer is astounding...absolutely the SPICIEST ginger beer I've ever had. Good stuff!

Let's just say it wasn't the best decision I've ever made. Then again, my alternatives were McD's and that Chinese Panda place.

Just my luck, I bought Hebrew NationalHot Dogs and made some for dinner last night. I couldn't even taste them with the congestion I have from a cold. Bummer dude!
