LOL! Sort of lost my taste for griddled foods after working one

However was always partial to the 'Italian Hot Dogs' of northern NJ;
particularly those of Jimmy Buff's. Everything was griddled: the hot
dogs, the onions/green and red peppers/, the chunks of fried potatoes.
The bread never was, for some reason. Pure grease and utterly tasty!
