No Pork on Dis Fork-2026

 

No Pork on Dis Fork is a periodic hot dog stand on Park Street in Hartford.  They sell Sabrett's all beef hot dogs.  You can get them steamed or on the grille.  They will also toast your New England style bun for you on the grille on request.

I had one yesterday at work and it was the best hot dog I have had in quite awhile.  I am guessing, the reason for that is I may prefer an all beef hot dog to the local pork and beef varieties most places serve, but it also had a nice grille flavor and the bun was perfectly toasted.




When I first walked up to the stand, there was a toothless (well, maybe he had five or six teeth) old man sitting in one of the chairs munching on a dog slathered with condiments and talking loudly on his cell phone.  He was the only person in sight.  I was getting annoyed standing there being ignored.  I finally said "Are you open for business."  "I'm a customer,": he said,  "The owners across the street in the bathroom."  He didn't exactly says "in the bathroom."  He described it more graphically.  Not long after the proprietor came out of the building, walking fast and tying his apron as he walked.  He was apologetic and asked me for my order.
