I'd likely choke on the "Starting at $2,297" part. I have done the dinner
train excursion on the Cumbres & Toltec narrow gauge line in southern
Colorado/northern New Mexico. (Antonito, CO to Chama, NM)

Les' version of kosher is "don't serve the Rabbi pork." Sara, OTOH, keeps
a kosher kitchen with two sets of dishes and cookware. Les has had to get
replacement appliances (stove, reefer and dishwasher) as the current ones
could not be certified "kosher". And he's had to set up a separate kitchen
in the basement for making his chilli. Bv)=

Title: Kosher Chilli Dogs
Categories: Sandwiches, Snacks, Beef, Chilli
Yield: 6 Servings
6 Kosher frankfurters
1/2 lb Hamburger
2 tb Oil
1 md Onion; chopped fine
15 oz Can Bush's chilli beans; opt
8 oz Can tomato sauce; El Pato
- preferred or Snap-E-Tom
1 1/2 ts Chilli spice; McCormicks
MMMMM-------------------------GARNISHES------------------------------
1 md Yellow onion; diced
Yellow (French's) mustard
Brown hamburger in heavy skillet. Add onion and garlic;
cook until onion is tender. Add remaining ingredients
and simmer about 15 min. Preheat frankfurters and buns.
Place franks in buns; top with sauce.
Sprinkle chopped onions over top. Use yellow mustard if
desired. Some like cheese on their chilli dogs. But, if
you use cheese then the sandwich is no longer kosher.
