I know I'm probably way behind here, but this just popped in my head: "Dog in a dash"

Here in NYC the reigning hot dog king is Gray's Papaya, which sells two of the best damn dogs you'll ever eat plus a drink (mmm ... papaya juice) for $2.45. I'm not sure what the history of Gray's name's is - my friend who writes for the NY Times is pitching a story to the Metro editor about hot dog wars in the city, which has seen a sprouting of Gray's knock-offs like Papaya King and Chelsea Papaya. Brooklyn apparently has some new take on the concept, but I have yet to try it.

The secret? TOPPINGS. I LOVED WaWa underdogs back in the day when they were 89 cents a pop and you could get ANYTHING on them. Three chili, cheese and onion dogs plus a magnum (44 oz) soda always hit the spot. And then some.
