Nathan's Famous, the legendary New York hot dog producer, has decided to hit everyone in the city along with a full experience. Their way of doing it, however, might surprise you.
In a statement shared on Thursday, it was announced that the company is now making it possible to bring the New York tap water to other states, and the message to boil up a hot dog the New York way is and continues to be 100% correct. They are always New York."Pure groundwater, even more, pours out of this source, New York State's splendid lordship," the addendum said, and, according to NYC's Department of Environmental Protection Website, it is delivered from a composite of nine reservoirs and three controlled lakes extending over a 2,000-square-mile area in the watersheds around the Hudson Valley and the Catskill Mountains.
"This year's month of February has been cooler than what is normal, and with most people daydreaming about the warmer days to come when they can be out and about enjoying a barbeque with family and friends, we intended to bring summer to homes across the nation." Rather than barbequing, therefore, Annabelle Gladfelter, brand manager of Smithfield Foods—the exclusive manufacturer of Nathan's Famous—expressed these thoughts to Food and Wine. "Indeed, they are right. The tap water is well known for being an irreplaceable part that has made New York's food culture famous, and the only item you have to use, if you want to make it 100% New York, is the NYC tap water, and that is why we have put it in cans."
"NY tap water is a part of the state's food culture heritage, and it is followed by many generations of the time," Gladfelter said. "Because of the colder months, which means we cannot have a BBQ like in the summer, Nathan's Famous food chain thought of this new way to let people taste the special flavor of New York in their own homes." Engage the boiling of the NYC dogs in New York's Famous Tap Water only the way they can be boiled. That is they are always boiled for at least three to six minutes, then topped up with your favorite foods.
It is important to mention that the prize pool is open to the residents of the following states: Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Washington, D.C. Moreover, the hot dog is a unique type of food that is often shared on summer days. You might want to make it at home or at the park in the summertime and share it with your friends even if they are far away.
