Sometimes you just want to stop for a quick bite to eat -- even photographers and poets get hungry! And road food? Not always the best. But in Schenectady, NY, you can look up First Prize Mike's for a great hot dog with their "special sauce" and some hot onion rings -- getting hungry yet?

No dilemma
It's hard to know,
will the "finest ever made"
forebode that magic brand
of American delight
that snaps pleasantly
like the lightest rubber band
against your eager teeth
and tongue, shooting juices
and spices, now a tender mix
with such joyous cohorts as slow-seasoned
meat gravy and grainy mustard --
ketchup has to wait its turn
for the devilish crunch of incalculably
fragrant and steamy vat-fried onions --
or will this yield an afternoon
fit for the Bromo ads?
Oh, First Prize Mike's,
your special sauce never steered
us wrong.
