    Memory Help? 1985-1989 Downtown Lexington Hotdog??

    I worked at First Security and I recall leaving work at lunch and walking a couple of blocks to grab a hotdog but for the life of me cannot remember the name of the place?

    Any thoughts???

    Sam's Hot Dog Stand, maybe?

    (I clerked downtown after school 85-88, FWIW.)

    Maybe it was Sam's. We had one of those in Ashland and was thinking the sauce was different but 40 years does a lot to memories...

    Garo's. At that time they had 2 locations. one I think is still on Upper, the other, the one you probably went to, is the one I went to, which was on Main east of First Security. Sort of across from what was then Wolfe Wile's.
    People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

    I'm from there, too (Russell, actually). That place used to be the hot dog capital of the world--Sam's, Stewart's, Dairy Cheer, L&J, Frosty Freeze and Crisp Dairy Treat, just to name a few. I still like to go to Crisp when I get back home.

    (I probably know a little too much about WV/KY-style hot dogs.)
