After a tasty and healthy dinner of hamburgers and (5 star) hotdogs
That's one thing I miss about the Midwest - decent bratwurst and
really good Chicago hot dogs.
With real pickles.
In the west we can get good hotdogs, Hebrew National and good brats
(johnsonville) but the Midwest does have the great pickles.
The best real kosher style pickles in a jar, and sauerkraut, too, come
from Batampte Pickle Products Inc.
Your opinion. Do not know the brand names, but when I lived in Dayton, OH
for a year and traveled to Chicago, had lots of good dill pickles. When I
was a kid here in the Berkeley area (a ling time ago) we used to get some
great pickles also). Now seems to be just the chain brands.
Batampte is not a chain brand, and I'm not sure it has distribution much
beyond the the East Coast. The varieties the company makes are
traditional Kosher dills, and taste exactly like the Kosher dills and
sour tomatoes we used to buy at the Kosher supermarket in New Haven's
Westville Jewish section. I'm sure there are good Kosher deli pickles on
the left coast, but I doubt you've ever encountered one.
