Dinner Roll Recipe for Thanksgiving? Are Starbucks customers thankful that you're working on Thanksgiving Day?   —  Thanksgiving and Christmas are the days when I really make a point to tip at Starbucks.

Two dogs. Chili and mustard. And a Lime Rickey.
Meals / MealMe

Two delicious Sabrett-style, natural casing hotdogs with their special chilli, which is more like a spicy onion relish really. I like it with a bit of mustard and wash it down with a Lime Rickey (Lime soda with grenadine-not the same as a Shirley Temple; much better). Boulevard drinks is, without a doubt, the best hotdog restaurant in Jersey City.
