I always buy the inferior version they serve at Sam"s and I love those. So this is very exciting to me. Nathan's Famous is coming to Houston
Weird because I am not subscriber. It's going to be at Memorial City Mall which is a drive for me. Hopefully it does well and we can get more locations.
Spoiler "I've waited 25 years, I can wait a little longer. The first Nathan's Famous hot dog restaurant in Texas is coming to Memorial City Mall. The grand opening will take place in about three months. This is the joint that holds the Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island. Last month, Joey Chestnut scarfed 69 Nathan's franks to set a record. These hot dogs are delicious - and don't tell me about packaged Nathan's hot dogs in your supermarket. They're not the same. Nothing compares to eating a Nathan's hot dog right off the flat top grill with sauerkraut and spicy brown mustard. You want an authentic New York hot dog? This is the real deal. But you know something? I like Nathan's french fries more than I like their dogs. Nathan's fries are thick-cut, with a nutty flavor, crispy on the outside and soft like a baked potato on the inside. Here's the secret: While 90 percent of french fries are made from starchy Russet potatoes, Nathan's uses Katahdins, a low-starch potato grown in Maine. Katahdin fries are dark, with sweet undertones, like George Clooney's performance in "Up in the Air." Last year, for several weeks, there was a Katahdin shortage, and Nathan's had to use Russets. You would have thought that space aliens were coming ashore on Coney Island beach. When the Katahdins returned, the sigh of relief drowned out the screaming on the Cyclone roller coaster. I will keep you posted on Nathan's arrival in Houston." - Ken Hoffman
What the .....?!?! This is Texas. We eat chili and cheese on our hot dogs...Not cabbage. You ain't from around these parts, are ya? Thanks for the article, though.
I've been to Nathans in Coney Island and wasn't impressed. It's off my bucket-list and wonder why I even had it on there to begin with! The funny thing is that they sell Fish & Chips, Philly Steaks, hamburgers and a variety of other menu items there. The one thing that I enjoyed was that the Wonder Wheel from the Warriors was practically next door to it, and you can stroll down the beach which is a total contrast to walking in Manhattan. ....... ....... .......
Hoffman knows what's up with the fries. Many a fond memory with my dad in NYC. Order of fries, ask for a paper bag on the side. Dump fries in bag, dump in a packet or 2 of salt. Shake up, let cool down for a minute. Eat. Heaven.
Nathan's is a very good hot dog. The Nathan's in airports is just airport food with a logo. It isn't the same.
Are you talking specifically about the one in Coney island? Or all over? I've been to several near me, and there nothing special. They taste very good, but there's better local places and their prices are high.
so in terms of rankings at the memorial city mall food court, will it beat Chik Fil A? Because I still don't think it will trump that fine establishment
