RE: November Comfort Food Challenge (A little Chili for the Chill)

in #foodlast year (edited)

That story is a great example of the power of comfort food. I worked at a coney restaurant in high school, Boardwalk Coney Island, ran by a Greek man. Their food sounds very similar to the dogs that you describe. I gained SO much weight when I worked there. Pete (Smerles) would let us eat as much food as we wanted during our shift. My mouth's watering just thinking about how good it was.

Sort:  

You lived in Brooklyn? Our restaurant is still in operation, 103 years now, but the food is awful. It used to be soooo good.

No, this restaurant was in Columbus, Ohio. I have no idea why Pete named it "Boardwalk Coney Island". It closed sometime in the early 1990's. It's so sad when those iconic places lose their luster.
