It will be the subject of a My Town Monday.<BR/><BR/>I also plan on doing a post on the best pizza and the best Italian beef (which is sort of like a french dip from arbys, but much better)) in the city as well. <BR/><BR/>But, to answer your question, they do not serve ketchup on hotdogs. They are, however, served with tomato slices (and celery salt, hot peppers, mustard, a pickle spear and sometimes neon green relish). Ketchup in addition would be too much.<BR/><BR/>Typically I have to remove the pickle spear and mush up the tomato so that the thing can fit in my mouth.<BR/><BR/>Since I'm really from Indianapolis, when I make a hotdog for myself I use ketchup, mustard and relish.<BR/><BR/>Probably a much longer answer than you are looking for :-P<BR/><BR/>What do you guys put on your hotdogs?Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11795668965659926769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686417699021523871.post-3011821836817268242009-01-27T11:13:00.000-08:002009-01-27T11:13:00.000-08:00Great review!

I'm only inquiring because if one has cold hands, cows can be ornry with a well aimed kick. My country cousins had a dairy herd with one cow that refused the milking machine and had to be hand-milked.Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686417699021523871.post-40153605654132815902009-01-26T20:13:00.000-08:002009-01-26T20:13:00.000-08:00I'd love to visit your zoo someday.

I actually used to live a half mile away and would just walk over with friends on a summer day. <BR/><BR/>@pattinase- I hope you are able to pop by and check out the zoo. Also, the area around it (Lincoln Park) is very fun, too. <BR/><BR/>@barrie- I have always wanted to visit the San Diego Zoo! I have been to the LP zoo area over 30 times and I haven't used the official zoo parking lot as I just park on the street or take public transportation--I think only people with multiple really little kids or tourists who don't realize they could look for free street parking use the pay lot. They kinda have to charge because the zoo is right downtown, but they do charge about half of what other parking in the area charges, at least.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11795668965659926769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686417699021523871.post-45014201060930373722009-01-26T12:42:00.000-08:002009-01-26T12:42:00.000-08:00So, the zoo if free, but you have to pay for parki...So, the zoo if free, but you have to pay for parking?
