I can get Nathan's in a couple places - but I can find Hebrew National nearly 
everywhere. They are also very good. I have had Nathan's from the original 
Nathan's stand on the boardwalk at Coney - about the time your daddy met your 
momma.   Bv)=

My Gordon Food Service Store has 5# containers of all-beef dogs @ U$9.99. The 
all meat is U$5.99. The all beef pups are well worth the difference. (Kosher 
certification available on the all-beef).
