Will try this with Nathans Hot Dogs which I like best. Wish they still had Lion Brand.

Hey, lookie what I found:

Anonymous Answer:

If you are in Cleveland, Lion Brand hot dogs are now Five Star Beef weiners. I first tasted them 25 years ago at a bar on Kinsman Rd. ( and fell in love with them. ) I asked the bartender where did they get these " dogs " from, He told me they were " Lion Brand " dogs. I began purchasing them from " Stockyard Meats, But " Lion brand " went out of business. Five Star purchased their recipe, and began selling them under their name. If you are in Cleveland, you can find " Five Star Beef " wieners at Daves super markets and Sams Club.

Nuckin Futz,

Ok, I made this last night & had it on 2 brats & 2 Hebrew National dogs...BEST coney sauce I've ever had. This immediately became the ONLY coney sauce in my recipe book & I named it "Nuckin Futz Dawg Sauce". Only change I made was a mistake, but it was so good, I'm keeping the mistake. I added 1/2 tsp of coarse ground black pepper rather than the 1/4 tsp pepper called for originally.

Thanks for a great recipe.

Mike

Thanks Mike. I'm honored!

[calfoxwc]

I'm going to check out those Five Star hotdogs.

My new favorite hotdog is the Applegate "cleaner weiner"...

they are at BJ's...

organic - no preservatives like sodium frakin nitrate, etc.

Pretty good, but not nearly as good as Hebrew Nationals are.

But no preservatives, I'll go with that.

I'm going to have to make some of Nuckin Futz's coney sauce. Thanks for sharing the recipe !

Cal have you gone liberal on us??? Talking about a clean weiner and a BJ?

Diehardbrownsfan, we did not purchase the Lion brand recipe. We use our own recipe for our wieners. Best regards, Bob Gutwein

I remember as a kid eating Lion Brand Hot Dogs in Cleveland Municipal Stadium with Stadium Mustard. Best Hot Dog ever. I have heard that you purchased the recipe from Lion Brand when they went out of business and use it as your Five Star Brand Hotdogs. Is this true?

Thanks

That's why I copied & pasted that "answer". I do as you did...contact the "source", or Snopes, etc to see if the answer is valid. The internet is loaded with BS.

Too bad my 6 year old Grandson is going to the Draft Party with Cal, another friend & I or we could delve deeper into this "coming out of the liberal closet" thing!

Steve, You may have put up the post of the year!!! LMAO!!

I first met Steve while visiting the set of Steve making a commercial

about these very same hotdogs:

Can you tell which actor he is?

[calfoxwc]

No, Westside, Diehard and Canton Mike are friends.

They are coming out to our farm this spring, to groundhog skeet.

[calfoxwc]

Groundhog skeet - Canton Mike and Steve haven't gone with me yet,

but they are really interested and can't wait....

My dad would shoot the groundhogs, then sell or give them to someone from Snydertown.

Too bad. That leaves Diehard and Canton Mike.

Groundhog skeet is where you get some knucklehead friends to come out

and their job is to reach down in the groundhog holes, grab the groundhogs

by their tails, and then drag em out of the holes and fling them way up in the

air and I shoot the flying groundhogs.

crap. Somebody must have clued Steve in as to what it was.

Don't tell Diehard and Canton Mike, they are ready to go....

Good help is hard to find these days....

Finally got the official word that I can take off Friday! 1 1/2 more days till the draft/weekend!
