Hi from Switzerland! I was born in Paterson and raised in Hawthorne (HHS Class of â??64). At least once a week my parents would drive over the bridge to Johnny and Hanges on River Street for â??soups and french to goâ?. Iâ??ll never forget those white paper packages weâ??d take home, nor will I forget the pizzeria across the street where we also used to go. It was great being a kid back in the 50â??s and 60â??s and J&H was a major part of it. Business and marriage took me to Switzerland back in 1970. I keep up the J&H tradition by making my own version of your famous sauce. I come close, but itâ??s just not the same. Unfortunately, I turned vegetarian back in the 80â??s, so all I have of your hot dogs today is memories. Hey how about a vegetarian version using meatless dogs! Next time Iâ??m in town Iâ??ll have to try your vegi sub. LEN ROUGHGARDEN â?? hey, we knew each other from school. You (and anyone else I know) can contact me through my website: www.switzerlandinsound.com
Would love to hear from old Hawthorne friends.
