Yes, my memory on food goes a long time

Anyone know where I can find decent ready-to-eat franks-in-blankets in CH, preferably not too expensive.

Find the nearest Costco -- they have Spring Valley (or Cohen's -- forgot which one) franks and blankets in a huge box for cheap as can be....

Mermelsteins

Thanks for the suggestion. I placed an order and they were cheaper than I figured they'd be.

The people I've giving them to as Misloach Manos (don't ask) probably won't trust that Hashgacha.

NP -- and they'd be frozen and uncooked -- awkward for MM

Don't forget to share a review

OT, but I can't believe that place is still open!

Nice find, annoying watermark. They have a pic on the wall in Pomodori that's supposedly from 1925, it looks photoshopped IMHO.

Nice find,

Somehow, the streets and sidewalks are squeaky clean. Was it just for the photo, or that's what Brooklyn looked like back then?

I recently had the sushi at Kingston bake shop and although it was a large portion it was not comparable to a real sushi place i.e. not worth going. I should have mentioned this before the chocolate kokosh (I think that is how it's spelled) cake at gombos is excellent!
