Best hot dog I've ever had was in B'ham. It's a tiny place down town with a neon sign. The inside is barely wide enough to walk through. An old man & his wife run it and I believe make their own chili. I had a chili dog & an ice cold IBC root beer, one of the best meals I can remember. Anyone know the name of that place by chance? I'd love to go back but I don't know if I could find it again if I tried.
Nash,
You're speaking of the little joint known locally as "Pete's Famous." Pete's Famous Hot Dogs is located downtown on 2nd Ave North, just as it has been for well over 60 years. It's in the 1900 block, just off the 20th Street "main drag" that goes through the Southside's 5-Points area and into downtown.
p.s. Gus is only 77, going on 78.
