The Hot Dog King

This week I left my job in Reading and will be working in Allentown shortly. The job I've accepted required everything short of a body cavity search from me prior to employment. Yesterday I had to fill out 20 pages of medical history, get a drug test, alcohol test, vision test, and have 4 vials of blood extracted among other things. Today was fingerprinting and a briefing with HR.



I decided to celebrate my return to Allentown, and since it was around lunchtime when I left HR, I hit up the classic Allentown eating establishment, Yocco's. There's about 8 Yocco's in the area now, and I partook of the one on I-78, since it was on my way back to home. Yocco's, for those not in the know, is the Hot Dog King, as indicated with the sign of a hot dog wearing a crown.. Somehow, despite being born in Allentown, I've only ever had Yocco's once, and it was through the drive-thru. I've been told it's not as good as getting them in house, so today I finally stepped foot inside.



Yocco's sells other items like cheesesteaks and such, but if I was going to The Hot Dog King, I fully intended to get a damn hot dog. I ordered the cheese hot dog with everything, and a side of perogies cuz hell, I can get fries anywhere. People in line around me were ordering 4-5 hot dogs a piece, and the one I got was blissful enough to give me thoughts of going back and doing the same. Maybe I'll just have a new "quick dinner" stop on the way home from my new job, instead. I imagine spending 8 hours following up on OB/GYN insurance claims is going to make me majorly crave hot dogs.
