Dogs, etc.




Found a new place for lunch that specializes in hot dogs. It's Hogs & Dogs on 328 New Road in Elsmere, across from Angerstein's.

The hot dogs are grilled and are filling, but the buns could be of better quality. The fries were great and there's plenty more on the menu, including breakfast sandwiches, burgers, bratwurst, roast beef sandwiches, club sandwiches, cheesesteaks and subs.

The hot dog menu includes "slaw dogs," which include chili, and hot dog nuggets, for the kids. As for me, my order (above) was just a hot dog with mustard and some fries. If you want to check this new place out, note that they only stay open for lunch, closing at 2 p.m. daily (they're also closed Sundays). Their number is 993-1463.

Moving on to pizza, how much is too much to charge for one slice of pizza? One place is selling one-topping slices for $3. They serve big slices, but is $3 too much for one slice? I don't follow the business that closely. Maybe the cost of ingredients has spiked, like everything else. It was just a bit of sticker shock the other day, that's all.

Anyway, did you know that Halloween is one of the biggest sales days of the year for pizza? It only trails Super Bowl Sunday and New Year's Eve, according to a 2007 study by PizzaMarketplace.com.

Similar to the night before Thanksgiving, also one of the year's top sellers, few families bother to cook on Halloween. There are also those who order pizza for parties, and some even hand out slices to kids. Here's hoping the kids eat the slices as they get them, and not put them in their bags. But that would at least be better than getting a rock.

Sounds like someone got a lot of rocks.
