still true I'm certain, the hot dog is not even the most popular sausage ordered in Milwaukee, but the Bratwurst.
as a former food vendor at County Stadium, it sucked to be assigned hot dogs.
A. people wanted Brats, italians, or polish, and I had none of it.
B. even if they wanted a hot dog, I didn't have the Secret Stadium Sauce, that was in the Concourse.
might as well be selling ice to eskimos.
apropos of nothing. my preferred items to vend walking the seats (early/mid 90s)
1. peanuts
2. lemon/strawberry ice chill, make a killing during hot days.
3. dove bars/snicker bars
4. Weekday day games: CottonCandy/licorice ropes for the punk kids
5. pretzels (especially for Packers games)
6. Nachos, wouldn't sell one for 20 minutes, then when you did, you'd sell out as adjacent fans watched you ladle the cheese on the chips. It was like being Vince Offer the Shamwow guy.
7. soda
