happiness with the mustard!
tubular wonders.
23 years — same spot, same dude. Manos the Greek hotdog guy (and his brother on Public Square) give some much needed life to downtown. Gregarious, funny, and always, ALWAYS glad to see you. This is 5 star hotdog performance art. The hotdogs themselves are New York style «brownwater dogs». A tad mousse-​like (OK, mushy) from simmering in the hotdog «brownwater“holding pen, they lack the «snap» of a natural casing Chicago style tube. The obligatory onions in a vinegary ketchup sauce is a New York/​Cleveland thing, but that and some mustard always make these decent hotdogs. Also, these guys don’t wear those nasty plastic gloves. Using their tools and a simple paper, they never actually touch your food. Less litter, less plastic. And perfect food safety as far as I am concerned. I can’t tell you how many times I see the «sanitary» plastic gloved hand go from cash, to food, to face, to food… Manos! Great hotdogs!!! Good shtick too! Tell ‘em he was Unilocaled…
Carry on.
