It was not the text message I hoped to receive from my girlfriend in our new home of Troy, New York. She had arrived in the Capital Region a few days ahead of me and was sending updates from the new apartment. Still reeling from the wild circumstances that had led us to suddenly move in together, I had yet to leave the city.a place around the corner has MINI CHILI DOGS
I told her she was right to text me. I demanded photos. And when I arrived in Troy later that week, I was delighted to learn that the mini chili dog is, in fact, a signature cuisine of this little sector of upstate New York. Maybe the move would turn out okay.I love to eat. I’m a big guy with insatiable appetites and food nourishes me physically and spiritually.
What’s really remarkable is that Famous is but one of half a dozen or so localized quick-service spots that serve the little dogs and, like many of the other restaurants, they’ve been doing it forever. As their website’s story goes, Famous Lunch opened as the Quick Lunch, but in 1958 a U.S. Marine from Troy stationed at the embassy in Moscow requested some dogs from home. “Operation Hot Dog” became a media sensation, necessitating the name change.
