My spouse and I tutor children on Monday afternoons after school. We go to their school and meet in the media center (aka library). Because of holiday and weather interruptions, today was our first tutoring session in three weeks.
My third grader was happy to see me and we had a good time reviewing some materials and reading together. Among the things we reviewed was a list of his favorite things that I had typed out for him to read. On the list was his favorite food - chili dogs.
Having worked up an appetite with all that hard tutoring, and having chili dogs on my mind, I mentioned this child's favorite to my spouse at the end of the lesson. We both agreed that, since we would be driving through down town Fort Wayne on the way home, and since it was almost supper time, having chili dogs for supper seemed like a really excellent idea.
And so we stopped at the original Fort Wayne's Famous Coney Island, in business at the same location on Main Street for over 100 years, where their 'buns are steamed' to have our supper. We each had two of their original chili dogs. My wonder spouse added catsup and I added cheese and they were soooooo good. It's surprising how filling and satisfying two hot dogs can be. This may not sound like gourmet fare to you, but trust me it's an experience not to be missed, and having dined their once, you will go back.
