When at the Haskell…

(Unfortunately the bun was over steamed and the bottom was a mushy mess)

For those who love Windmill hot dogs, here’s a chance to win a dog a week for a year! Just create an awesome poem, and be added to the Customer Hall of Fame! Someone already won cheese fries for a year.

Happiness is The WindMIll

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Funny how hot dogs
Look like poo

Neighborhood legend wins N.J.'s best hot dog joint showdown

Ya’all should be on FB just to be a part of Hot Dog Nation .

Really happy Tommys got the recognition. Love that place

I used to get Italian sausage there, and then a regular dog at Jerry’s. The Italian hot dog didn’t interest me, and I don’t think it’s fair to compare it to a standard dog for this ranking.

If I won free windmill fries for a year think I would probably die within that year. Those things can’t be good for you and they are delicious! I think I’d take the free cheese fries over the free dog.

[NotJrvedivici (Junior)]

Yeah they are good, only critique is they should salt them fresh out of the frier. Just bit the same once they cool and are served to add salt.

Just a quick PSA. If you want to get a classic and good Italian Hot Dog in Monmouth county, time is running out as Jersey Joes is closing for the season on Sunday.

That is all.

Great photo. Where was it taken?

Edit: Ah, I see your answer down thread from your post, Vik.

@tomt

If you like the Schickhaus and Windmill Sabrett, you should try the beef/pork dogs from Sabatos butcher shop in the Junction (Middletown) I think they make them, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they did not. In any event they are tasty with a hint more spice than a nc Thumanns.

@corvette_johnny

Yeah I dont think they make those but they are good. I’m Middletown born and raised so I’ve eaten my share of their meats over my lifetime!

I don’t know if we addressed this in this thread, but I am fairly certain the dogs come from Pulaski in Linden. I know the 'basa does.

And unfortunately

Curlz, any update about Amazing Hot Dogs, all these years later. They were my favorites with chili. I am hoping they opened somewhere but didn’t promote it.

[CurlzNJ]

Nope… Eric occasionally recreates a few menu items in his kitchen, but he’s gotten deeper in to his other cooking adventures, which you can read about/follow here: Eating With Chef Eric

Libby’s in Paterson will be closing at the end of the month. Love that place and I’ll miss it. Think I’ll try to get there this week

[CurlzNJ]

Wow–and my pal Eric (mentioned in the post before yours) was there last week.

[tomt (Tom)]

It hit the news last week, lots of people are making their last trip. Or, let me say, lots of hot dog people. Apparently not paying rent for 3 years will make the city not renew your lease. Who knew?

[ebchower (D)]

I went to school in that area, and The Egg Platter and Libby’s were two of my favorites. Now both are gone.

Edit: I’m really skeptical about eating somewhere that has announced a close date. There’s a reason employees often show up to work at a restaurant to find it had been closed without notice.
