One of the many things I miss from the northeast is the food. The Midwest just does not do "food" like the Northeast. Well......my bro Tim is taking care of that this Labor Day weekend....he is sending me Hummels Hot Dogs and Dough from New Haven CT. There is not a better Hot dog on the market then Hummels. My affair with the dogs started at our long time friends, the Prices. Living in New Haven county, they only serve Hummel Dogs.
Now I know that my sister will start the Grote and Weigel thing....but come on Pat....Hartford Hot dogs are lousy!
Anyway, the real treat is the dough. Every year my clan in CT holds a family reunion. Over the years we have been missing more and more of them due to travel....my kids HATE to miss this thing. One of the highlights of the day is the arrival. As you unload all your junk for the day, there stands my Uncle Bob making fried dough. He is this larger then life Italian guy with always has this great big smile and laugh. No matter when you see him, it seems like he just saw you yesterday. My kids think he's great, and they see him very infrequently. ....OK back to the dough....well you cannot get this dough in the Midwest. People here consistently vote Pizza hut as the "best pizza" of the year. It's crazy. We will talk Pizza later.
Well, another busy day and I can blog all day on Pizza and Fried Dough....more later.
Jo, I know you are a reader, can you comment and leave Uncle Bob's phone number....I want to call him and make sure I make this stuff right!
