We started our now annual Montreal roadtrip last week with another stop in Plattsburgh, NY, an hour from the Canada border. On this ride, we stopped at Gus' Famous Red Hots to try their version of the Michigan dog.The offered them using a Glazier Redskin frankfurter, a red skinned natural casing hot dog from the region. The Michigan sauce was a little zesty. The redskin really made the dish for me. It was great. We also agreed that their macaroni salad was good as well.

The original Gus's was about 300' east from that corner and got their name in the '50's with that same 'red-hot'! I ate there many times in those years and even more recently, in the early 2000's, went back for more. Still wonderful!
It used to be a drive-up stand in the 1940s & 1950s, open only during tourist season (late spring, summer & early fall) & later became the restaurant you see now.

Thanks for the history!
