Frankly Appaling
New Yorkers are up in arms this week at the shocking news that Nathan's Famous has raised prices on hot dogs at its flagship Coney Island restaurant to an eye popping $3.15 for a single frank.
To put that in perspective, if Joey Chestnut, the reigning champion of Nathan's International July Fourth Hot Dog Eating Contest, actually had to pay full price for the 68 hot dogs and buns he ate in 10 minutes last summer to defend his title, it would have cost him a whopping $214.20.
That's enough to make a guy sick to his stomach.
Of course, maybe I'm biased when it comes to my weiners. This New Yorker still hasn't recovered from the horrific events of April 15th, 1999, or as I call it, Black Thursday.
