Another "thing" is ordering pickle on your hot dog. Nice big fat
slice of pickle. And real mustard, not the crap mustard most hot dog
places have. Properly chunked spanish onions.

mmmmmm.....

You forgot the celery salt and tomato and sweet pickle relish and poppy
seed
bun and....

The list goes on. And people here still argue about where you get the
best this and that, but are in general agreement about some.
We haven't mentioned gyros, and I've got a place on Milwaukee avenue
that was my favorite. Gyros sliced so thin you could see though it.
Mom and pop operation called 3 Sons. Don't know if it's still there,
as the old man was getting up in years.
But gyros is real manly stuff, and some don't have the stomach for it.
Even had me burping for days afterwards.

I don't care for gyros - they just don't settle right. :)

Speaking of odd things you don't find except for (name the place)...

Frozen custard.

There's a place out on Greenfield Ave and W. 57th (I'm doing this by
memory - it's been a while) in West Allis that has hand made frozen
custard. My favorite is French Vanilla second to coffee.

To freakin' die for.

One of those items you just do not hear about anymore. Frozen Custard used
to be on lots of menus. I think the younger generation just has not been
introduced to a lot of different foods. Was at a buffet Thursday night in
an indian casino in Oroville. Girl asked her mom what an item was. Mom did
not know, and when I said Flan, a Mexican Custard, she made a face and said
ugg. And it was good flan.
