Ketchup is a around here on a hot dog, strictly mustard!

Absolutely. It was the Nazis who first put ketchup on the hot dog during World War II. It should have stopped in the bunker with Eva and Adolf.

No, absolutely not. Breading does not belong on calamari. Just flour. If you want, you can soak them in milk first. Then just roll them in flour and shake them off good.

Use a good oil with a high smoking point. This isn't the time to break out the extra virgin olive oil. Fry them in small batches so they don't crowd the pan and "steam" themselves. If you do that they'll never get crispy. Clean oil, about 375 degrees. And don't move them around too much. Let the coating "set" a bit before you touch them. Fry them til they're just crisp.

Lemon wedges and marinara. That's all you need to know .

Speaking about ketchup tho, there's a place in Conn. called Louis' Lunch and they say it's a no no for ketchup on a hamburger(i think they will throw you out for asking...JJ), to me that's kinda odd.... What does everybody else think about that?
