If the steak was overdone (as many people cook them), it
seems like a little steak sauce would make it somewhat more palatable ? I prefer mine medium-rare to medium; any more than that and it's ruined ! I WILL take one 'black and blue', though ! Seared black on the outside and
almost raw on the inside !

Don't get much better than that.

Yeah, those natural casing franks were delicious; those two home brands I mentioned earlier were made that way, and I've yet to
find their equal anywhere else !
Was not a 'team' sports fan
other than football; always preferred individual sports
such as hunting, fishing, skiing, skating, so the odds of my going to a ball park are about nil ! Have never seen or heard of Casper's;
I've been to a half-dozen different grocery chains out here and have not seen that brand anywhere !

Okay ! Not to be a critic, but it's
to each his own ! Can't speak to Hebrew National, as I've never tried them ! Had Nathan's at
Coney Island - was NOT impressed ! Grew up with a
couple of local brands back
home - Schonland's and Jordan's; they were both very good ! My
dad liked them so much that whenever he left to go back to Florida, he would buy a case of them and freeze them for the
trip home ! Current favorites are Oscar Meyer's, for hot dogs and bacon ! For us, hot dog toppings included mustard, sweet relish and a dash of celery salt (with
or without finely chopped
onions) ! My youngest brother
was the 'odd duck'; he was the
one with the ketchup ! We all looked at him askance, as that was roughly equivalent to a criminal act in our family; it was unheard of, as ketchup was for burgers, fries, and occasionally onion rings ! Oh, and if I have a fresh batch of chili available, that may go on it instead, with a little shredded cheese !

Try sour cream on your cheesey chili, you'll love it.

My dad would season the steaks with a bunch of seasoning and I believe capers. He let the steaks season for 24 hours then grilled them. I hated the seasoning, tasted nasty. Unfortunately, we had steak quite often. Those dinners I didn't eat a lot. I would also fight a lot with my parents on those days. You all know the old saying about cleaning your plate and how many starving people there was around the world. I also had to sit at the table till I was done eating my dinner and the plate was clean.

Never heard of Casper's, I think I remember seeing red hots at Sam's Club.

I have used many packages of bar-s Frank's for fish bait but I have never eaten one. I bought a bunch once & ground them up for chum. Worked very well but most of the time I don't need chum where i set my lines. I did throw some finely ground bar-s out while fishing at night with lights. It really drew the minnows.

I see they're a San Francisco Bay Area thing. Probably only available locally. I've never eaten at the chain, never even seen one. I just know they're one of my favorites - throw em on the grill, let the juices bust thru the casing, get a little crispy. Good stuff!

I see that Costco's handles them I wonder if that is all Costco's or just certain ones?

I just looked on-line at Costco and they're not available to order. So I'm guessing they're a regional item, only available on the left coast around the Bay Area.

Your probably right but I looked up those hotdogs and it appears that they do ship them.

Yes you can get them shipped in different categories by weight I believe.

Maybe. The most that one can order is 10 pounds at a time by there chart maybe if you started ordering them in bulk you could get larger quantities shipped to you.
