Ever wonder why Nathan's is still around (and expanding) and Nedick's went out of business? Quality!!.
As a kid Ithought Nedick's franks were good but only because I lived in the Bronx and never got to Coney Island where the only Nathan's was at the time. When Nathan's opened a store on Broadway and 43rd St and I got my first taste of one - I never went back to Nedicks again.
