Maryland diner serving Coney Island dogs since 1927 moves, regulars…

What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOur Pet of the Day is a Maryland diner that has served Coney Island hot dogs since nineteen twenty-seven, and when it moved out of Highlandtown, its longtime regulars followed it to the new place.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNearly a century in one neighborhood, then a move, and the customers simply came along. I have known governments with less loyal followings.

  3. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorToday's title is Most Faithful Chili Dog, with a stat line of one hundred percent regulars retained, and I'm getting a little emotional.

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLook at this file footage. Not the actual diner, but the chili goes on with a care I rarely see in public life.

  5. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat hand never rushed. I'd follow it anywhere.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSince nineteen twenty-seven, and I still want to see the paperwork and a receipt for that loyalty.
