00:00Take me out for some hot dogs.
00:04You know, if you're going to New York,
00:07you're looking for the best hot dogs.
00:08You know, they have a thousand carts.
00:11But their secret to who the best carts are,
00:14and the best hot dog carts are
00:15people who exclusively sell hot dogs, right?
00:20Because if they have all these specialty carts,
00:22they can't specialize and love the hot dog.
00:25Well, there's one guy that's been on this corner
00:27since 1990, and I'm talking about Famous Eddie.
00:32Yeah, you know, there was a guy who's getting crazy, Eddie.
00:35He said his prices are insane.
00:37Well, actually, he's quite a bit like this.
00:41And, well, he's just about a block away
00:44from Madison Square Garden, Penn Station,
00:46right in the heart of New York City,
00:48and Famous Eddie has been formed by many people
00:52with the best first-cut hot dog in the Big Apple.
00:55Okay, well, I'm here to be the judge.
00:59Let's go raw dogging New York at Famous Eddie.
01:20All right.
01:21All right.
01:22What are you going to get?
01:23I'm going to get one plain hot dog
01:25and the one with two in two.
01:26Oh, no.
01:27You're going to need this.
01:30Now, here's the plain hot dog.
01:32Take a look at that.
01:35Great front-to-door ratio.
01:38Dirty water hot dog.
01:40New York push cart tradition.
01:45I'll find out.
01:46It's got a great bite that time.
01:57It's not that great taste.
02:04Yum.
02:05It's what you look for in New York.
02:07A nice-tasting hot dog.
02:08This is what you want.
02:10The cart.
02:11That is what New York is known for.
02:13This hot dog is a double.
02:19Too much more than this one.
02:22Here is what, look at this.
02:25Look at this chili.
02:27That's a meaty looking chili.
02:29You can see the spice in it.
02:33And you know, nice little cheese to level off that spice.
02:37Well, let's see how the chili cheese tastes.
02:41It's got a nice smooth chili.
02:52Good ingredients.
02:56Taste.
03:02Nice, nice blender spices.
03:05This, another double.
03:09Corrected hot dogs.
03:12Hey, Miss Eddie.
03:13You know, that's why he's been here 35 years.
03:17His hot dogs really do hit the spot.
03:20All right, Chris.
03:20Well, thank you for helping me set up with beating Eddie.
03:23You know, Eddie's a great guy.
03:26He loves hot dogs.
03:28That's why he's rock steady.
03:30And people like Eddie are the people you should support.
03:33You know, you see these guys that have a thousand things.
03:36They have the neon lights of the last year.
03:39If you see neon lights on a hot dog cart, run away.
03:42Go to guys like this.
03:43These are the guys who have great hot dogs.
03:46And if you know any other places to go, let me know.
03:49Send me a comment.
03:50DM me.
03:51Email me at daytech99.com.
03:53It's email.com.
03:53There's never no longer your show.
03:56Just go out here.
03:58Find a great place like this.
04:00And keep roll-dogging.
04:01See you down the road.
04:02Take me out for some hot dogs.
04:06Get me one that's only plain.
04:09No mustard or ketchup.
04:12I'll know what the dog is really about.
04:15And it's hope that this is a good one.
04:19Maybe a whole one or a double.
04:22But if it sucks, it will be a strikeout.
04:25And not worthy of my taste buds.
04:32I'll see you down the road.
