But it seems once they moved out of downtown out near the Taylor County line that their quality suffered. Might just be me, but something about their new place seems to make me think that the hot dogs aren't as important to them as are the video lottery machines they've installed now.<BR/><BR/>I I'm Dad (and I said so!)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17410976855049902115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20675423.post-35334086672965680212008-07-29T08:08:00.000-04:002008-07-29T08:08:00.000-04:00In the real world they might be nice folks, but pa...In the real world they might be nice folks, but part of the mythos of Yann's is the "soup nazi" stock character.<BR/><BR/>Think about it.

Your blog so you set the rules, even though I did find the judgement of best WV hot dog in Marion County as a bit odd as it's north of the Slaw Line.
