 ML>  when they aren't allowed to do hamburgers?
 JW> That was a one off. 47 years ago Jarvis Jason, a Yellowknife
 JW> restaurateur with a successful place called Lenny Burger (named
 JW> after his son) did a handshake deal with Harland Sanders

By all accounts the old gentleman was a gentleman.

 JW> allowed him to continue making burgers after he bought the
 JW> franchise. That deal was unique in North America. Last year when
 JW> they were promoting a bunch of chicken sandwiches on buns, Corporate
 JW> bullied Jarvis's grandson into giving up the burgers.

And by all accounts corporate is corporate.

 This year they
 JW> gave him ultimatums to add a drive thru lane even thought the lot
 JW> isn't big enough and give the premises a major facelift even though
 JW> he has one of the busiest and most profitable franchises in Canada
 JW> (I estimate he is grossing $8 per minute or $2M per year). Yesterday
 JW> he announced he was not renewing the franchise. He is turning the
 JW> place back into a Lenny Burger! 

And the kid grew a backbone! More power to him, and may
his tribe increase. And may his burgers improve (when I
tried the burger there, I found it distinctly average).

 JW> Also sad to hear. That could mean there are no truly great old time
 JW> Kosher style delis left in Canada unless Winnipeg (the fourth major
 JW> Canadian centre for Ashkenazi Jews) still has one.  

Before my last trip to Montreal, I did my homework and found
that many Canadian foodies (hate that word) cite Deli Snowden
as the last bastion of the meat-smoker's art. I found it better
than the Main or Schwartz's but the texture sort of pretenderized
and odd. I'm thinking that perhaps the government or the meat
packers have bullied the old delis into buying processed briskets,
with the quality of the finished product okay but nothing compared
to what we remember from the good old days. Luckily, there are
hobbyist enthusiasts, such as Sacerdote, who keep the traditions
alive and whose products prove that our memories are not merely
fictive and baseless.

 JW> steam their franks in beer.
 ML> I wonder how steaming them in Coca-Cola would be.
 JW> I hesitate to find out!  

Salchichas en Coca-Cola 
categories: Colombian, starter
yield: 24 pieces

6 hotdogs, cut into 4 pieces each
6 c Coke

Place the hotdog pieces and coke in a medium pot, over medium heat.
Cook 35 to 40 min or until the Coke looks like caramel & serve.

This appetizer is popular in Colombia, as are many other dishes
cooked with Coke. We love savory and sweet combinations. Salchichas
en Coca-Cola (Hotdogs in Coke) are simple and easy to prepare and
delicious, which makes them perfect for entertaining!
