Reader search for perfect hot dogs continues

National Hot Dog Month may be over but summer will always be hot dog season, and this week we have both hot dogs and buns in the news.

For Walter Charpentier, Roman Zimmerman, Ann Brown and Howard Pratschler said split-top hot dog buns can be found at Glazier’s Food Marketplace, 8525 W. Warm Springs Road, and Rob Lindley, Kathy Love and Paula Perez said King’s Hawaiian brand is available in local stores including Albertsons, but in the deli section, not the bread section.

And for Don Brinda, Brown and Pratschler said he can find skin-on Nathan’s hot dogs at Glazier’s, with Pratschler adding that Glazier’s also has skin-on Sabrett and Boar’s Head hot dogs, and they all are in the meat counter along with “a fine assortment of packaged sauerkraut and mustards, and not near the lesser hot dogs.”

For Valorie Kohn, who’s looking for an Italian deli that sells a good selection of sliced deli meat, such as mortadella, Brown and Anita Miscimarra recommended Siena Deli at 9500 W. Sahara Ave. and Brown and Barbara Dill recommended Rocco’s Italian Deli at 10860 W. Charleston Blvd.

For David Hessey, who’s looking for Wheatsworth crackers, Gail Fleck reported spotting them at Smith’s.

Here’s something for peanut lovers: Tom Fitzgerald emailed in search of Planters Spanish red peanuts but before his request could run, found them at Kmart at 2975 E. Sahara Ave.

More on chiles relleno: Jan Visser recommended those served at Baja Miguel’s at the South Point and Chevy’s Fresh Mex at the Galleria at Sunset mall in Henderson, and Libby Casolari recommended Lindo Michoacan, which has three locations in the valley.
