I lived 2 blocks away, so we ate there often. One of the traditions for myself and my friends was to get up early on snow days, go around and shovel snow and take our earnings to Skeeters for lunch... The chili was WAY better back 20 years ago, it was homemade, not the stuff out of the package like it was a few years ago (and I assume now). I have not eaten a Skeeter dog in a while, it is about time for me to go back and get one! Yvonne, can you cite your source for the claim that processed meats are the #1 cause of stomach cancer? I cannot find that in my searching... wikipedia mentions that "Infection by Helicobacter pylori is believed to be the cause of most stomach cancer while autoimmune atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia and various genetic factors are associated with increased risk levels." <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stomach_cancer" rel="nofollow">source</a>. I am not trying to defend processed meats, I had just never heard what you said. Drew I have fond memories of Skeeters as a kid… I lived 2 blocks away, so we ate there often.

Even my Christian parents buy only Hebrew National hot dogs. You are clearly a gourmet chef, and I don't want to rain on your parade...but processed meats (hot dogs, luncheon meats, etc.) are the #1 cause of stomach cancer in the U.S. Please eat them infrequently.
