[DirtyDeeds360]

YEAH!

[SeanCambo]

Come to Liverpool in the UK! These hotdogs look amazing!!!

[cargot35]

I go down that road everyday I love that place

[Kousaburo]

I'm from Liverpool, England.

[bunnyluv41]

I LOVE Heids hot dogs! Used to eat there after church at least once a month!

[lfccogs]

is the beer nice

[Richterscale]

I get back to Syracuse every few years. Heid's is always one of my first stops. Coneys all the way. Now I'm hungry.

[MarilynManson122488]

I've have eaten at THIS resturant SEVERAL times.

I live in Syracuse so this place isnt to far from were I live.

[saizobacon]

everyone loves heids!

Does anyone remember the little shop where The Retreat is now that was owned by an old German couple that served penny candy and birch beer? Maybe mid 60's or so...only after they closed did Heids start selling birch beer, even though I was a chocolate milk/ coney guy through and through; Also I remember the " acid in the mustard crock.." scare of 1969....I ate more mustard that Sunmmer....The good old days.

[skeeler1954]

"Acid in the mustard crock?" I missed that one. How did that get started?

[ed4music]

At the time, the young people of Liverpool were divided ideologically into 2 camps, labeled " jocks" and "gooks", the "gooks " being kind of hippie wannabes ( it was, after all, 1970...) who hung around doing whatever wannabe hippies do, in Johnson Park in the center of town, much to the dismay of Town Fathers; and the jocks being the more traditional types who were resistant to the social changes happening in their own little village, so, the "acid" rumor started to amplify the dangers of gooks

[skeeler1954]

Great story! It reminds me of growing up in Camillus in the 60's-70's - except in camillus we were called "freaks" and "sneaks."

[shoutenry]

nowadays gook is a anti-east asian racial slur... that ironically means soup (or country, depends on how ya spell it) in Korean

[Crisgo3d]

Nice video. I miss Heids too. I moved to Florida and surprisingly enough they have Hoffmans Hot Dogs at this butcher shop near Tampa. But its not the same. To have a hot dog from Heid's after a long flight to visit my parents is the best.

[gcole23]

Great memories!  I moved from Liverpool to Boston in 1973 and stil miss Heid's

[monumentfloyd]

I'm really not a hot dog person. They're gross!

[skeeler1954]

You prorbably wouldn't enjoy watching the annual hot dog eating contest at Nathan's in Coney Island. I think this year's winner ate more than 50 in 12 minutes.

[wavgirl]

Wow, you know, I live like 5 minutes from there and I still haven't tried it!

[skeeler1954]

yeah it's funny how you can pass by a plce every day and never stop. I guess it's like living in NYC and never going to the top of the Empire State Building. But if you like hot dogs you'll leave Heids very happy.

Go Liverpool! And Heids is definately the place to go to eat in L'Pool. Only reds and chocolate milk for me though. (AND CHEESE FRIES)

[temporaryscars]

You forgot to mention that everyone who eats there drinks chocolate milk.

[skeeler1954]

Very true! Thank you!

Everyone remembers drinking chocolate milk with hot dogs at heids when they were kids.

[temporaryscars]

It's a very strange custom that I discovered when I first moved up here. Now I do it too. :\

[skeeler1954]

The other great question at heids (other than "should I have a red or a coney?")is "should I have chocolate milk or birch beer?" Myself, I always go for the birch beer.
