I was in Orlando, Florida
in March …. taking a little break from
Winter in the Northeast! While I was there, I decided
to check in on one of my “kids”...... Pictured above is one of several seats I
sold to Universal Studios in 2014. This former Yankee Stadium seat has lived a second life over the past ten years now, greeting & servicing fans patronizing "THE HOT DOG HALL OF FAME", located on Universal Studios City Walk district. I was GREAT to see it again,
and to "cop a squat'' in it
for a few moments! So, if ANYONE out there is
planning on visiting Universal Studios Florida this summer, or in
the near future, I HIGHLY recommend stopping by this restaurant
and grabbing a frank (or two) & fries! They offer multiple frankfurter
options, served up in the local style of about two dozen different
US cities from coast to coast …. And their prices aren’t
crazy high either, or at least not by theme park standards, anyway!!
Bon Appetit!!

To Have Been A Little Confusion Among Those Who Frequent This Website As To Which "HALL OF FAME" I Was Referring To When I Posted My "Class
of 2014" Announcement Recently.... So I Wanted To Set The Record Straight.
The Hall Of Fame I Was Referring Was Not
The Dinky One In Upstate

REAL Hall Of Fame .... The HOT DOG Hall Of Fame, Of Course!! Hot Dog Hall of Fame Now Open at CityWalkJuly
3, 2014 - Brian News, Universal City Walk Hot Dog Hall of Fame officially opened
today at Universal Orlando’s CityWalk, becoming the latest venue to debut as part of this year’s historic
expansion to the entertainment complex. Hot Dog Hall of Fame, located across from Antojitos Authentic Mexican Food, features stadium-style
seating and iconic hot dog creations from across the nation, including the loaded Chicago dog and Milwaukee brat. Universal partnered with Steven Schussler, the global
culinary concept creator behind the popular Rain Forest Cafe, to
bring his Hot Dog Hall of Fame concept to CityWalk. So ..... I Invite EVERYONE Who Is Planning On Visting The Orlando Area In The Near Future To Stop By & Check
Out The Place! Grab A 'Dog & Grab A (Stadium) Seat And DIG
IN .... You'll Be GLAD You Did!!
