Isn't the corn sold in the northern states this time of year from
Georgia and Florida?

Are the NJ "Fresh" tomatoes being harvested already?!?

Speaking of corn, I'd like'd to have held your hand as kids and we'd run
and hide in the cornfields and get away from chores and then get drunk on
raw sweet corn, laying in the dirt, staring up at the sky.

Nice meal you posted, BTW!

Best,

Andy

This place just sells what they grow, and I can see their
corn is high. They said Jersey corn, I believe it. They don't
have much for sale just yet. Slim pickins, just wait a couple
weeks from now.

We have a little while to wait for corn. We love the Olathe stuff from
Colorado. My favorite hot dogs are Hebrew National, but husband has decided
his favs are the Nathan's "over the bun" length.

Apparently! Even my tomatoes are getting ready to come
in and I planted late. I would not be very successful in the
farm business.

When I think of Olathe, I think of Kansas and some poor
murdered man. Heh. Didn't know they were famous for corn.

That's exactly what I had, over the bun. Either of those two
brands is fine with me, but today I got the order for Nathan's.
I like them.

Must be an earlier type than what's grown in Illinois. Around here
the saying for corn is "knee high by fourth of July." The stuff that
didn't get washed away a few weeks ago is looking pretty tall, but
nothing is ready yet.

I like both brands too.

Here's stuff about Olathe, Colorado. Texas corn is terrible. My Wisconsin-
born mother used to say about Texas corn is "that is the stuff we feed the
cows".

http://www.olathesweetcornfest.com/olathe/index.htm

About the time they have their corn festival (or a little before) the corn
starts arriving. Yea!!!

We get Olathe corn down here in Albuquerque as well. However, we also
get the local corn coming in about that time, and let me tell ya, the
corn from Moriarity is pretty darn good.

Actually, I drove around quite a bit today and saw a good
amount of corn. Some of it was, as you say, knee high.
Some was very tall. Some in between. I have no idea if
it's to do with planting time or variety.

Lou,

Actually I don't think Texas has rules like Chicago and New York do. We do
our own thing in the Lone Star State <g>.

Very commonly though the Chili dog rules. I like a little bit of catsup
(isn't that a Chicago no-no?), chili (without beans), and lots of cheese and
raw onions.

We have so many rules for chili, chicken fried steak, BBQ, etc. that maybe
we just have no more room for rules about hot dogs.

I have a DIL however who puts together a hot dog without the hot dog... just
the fixings!

I can't speak for Texas, but I like to make a hot dog relish using yellow
mustard, finely diced onion, and sweet pickly relish, all mixed together
and spread on top of the dog. Catsup? Never!

The weather is probably the most important. We got so much rain here
some areas look beautiful. Others are bare because they were under
water for so long and rotted or washed away.

Except for the ketchup, the chili-cheese dog is on menus here too. I
make them once in awhile myself.

All that's in our common dogs. Vlasic makes a relish with the mustard
mixed in it. It's also private labeled around here too.

The flavor just doesn't mix, but lots of people use it. <shudder>

I've NEVER had a chili-dog!

I like the "sound" of a chili-dog, only they're not to be found in
Philadelphia.

Here, we've got fatter food problems than those "almost healthy" Chicago
hot dog things to worry about! Imho.

By the time I hit Jersey in August, the corn will be plentiful as will
the beefstake tomatoes. I might be too late for the Jersey peaches, though.

I get up there once a year to see my children and grandchildren and my
GYN, but I *really* go for the produce, the pizza and the steamed clams. :-)

The white corn usually ripens earliest. Who knows what species they have
cooked up at Cook College <g>

Brown mustard, sauerkraut, sweet pickle relish and raw onion. In that
order. I used to make a chili sauce for hot dogs but my stomach got too
old for it.

America's Test Kitchen tested hot dogs and Nathans was number one.
Hebrew National was number two. WalMart had Hebrew National on sale a
week or so ago and I stocked up.

I've tried the Vlasic, but I like mine better. I think I use less mustard
and more onion. It was the jarred version that prompted me to make my own.

Yep, including my SO, who also puts it on bologna. I like catsup, but I
don't eat it on too many things, usually a little on a burger, on fries,
and sometimes on meatloaf.

Hebrew National is the only packaged hot dog I will eat. Actually, I
really prefer getting hot dogs at the butcher shop in natural casings.

You sir, are a gentlemen; gentlemen do not put catsup on hot dogs. Even
*cultured* rowdies don't put catsup on hot dogs.

How did you cook the corn?

Just one hot dog... I think it's illegal to eat less than two.

Boiled. That's how I usually, but not always, have corn.

I checked with Westlaw, they say that an exception is if you
serve a side dish and a salad, you are permitted to just have
one hot dog.

I like my hot dogs with mustard and relish. I went to this
place that is famous for their hot dogs, they came over
with metal pails of the stuff ... regular and spicy. The
spicy was red. If I think of it I'll see if they carry something
like that in the supermarket.

I guess I am not the only one who thinks the flavor of that particular
product to be really strange. The flavors just don't complement each
other and almost seem to highlight the worst of both.

Where's the stand. I would gladly drive to Jersey to get some good corn.
All the dutchies around here prefer growing white corn which they cut off
the cob and eat cooked to mush (which I destest). Yellow corn, or at least
bi-color, is what I crave.

Oddly enough, that describes exactly how I feel about chili dogs.

I usually just use the neon and add my own onion and mustard.

I've got to have it on fries. Sometimes a burger, and usually on
meatloaf sandwiches unless I'm having cheese.

You'd be surprised how many people even in Chicago use ketchup on a
dog. It's a frightening world out there.

Exactly. But I'd rather see someone using ketchup on a hot dog than
on eggs.

Any sweet corn we're getting isn't from Iowa - local suppliers in my
area lost it in the flood. I think what I'm seeing is from Missouri.

Fries are nothing without deli mayo. Reduced blue cheese or ranch salad
dressing will do in a pinch.

Not that you really care <g>, but I like malt vinegar on fries with popcorn
salt. Popcorn salt sticks much better!

Burgers... little bit of mayo, some type of cheese (blue, Swiss, or sharp
cheddar), onions, and lettuce.

Meatloaf sandwich... catsup and lettuce.
