    Papaya has an enzyme, papain, that breaks down proteins. When the Spanish conquistadores arrived in Tenochtitlan, they were received with a big feast. They had indigestion, and the natives brought them papaya to eat to help with the indigestion. Get yourself some raw papaya and put chunks of it with its juice in a bag, add the toughest cut of meat, and it will tenderize it like butter overnight.

    My grandparents lived down the block on 3rd. The 3rd Ave. El ran right outside their apartment window. We used to get to go to Papaya King as a treat - this was around 1950 - 1953. The documentary says it was renamed “Papaya King” in 1963 - but I remember it was always called “Papaya King” a decade earlier - I learned the name of the place when I was about 5 or 6 years old. I haven't been to Manhattan since 1957 - but if I did, going to Papaya King would be one of the main reasons to go there. And maybe the Met - but if I only had an hour or so, I'd skip the Met, and go to Papaya King.

      New York hot dogs are all fluff and no substance. The sausages are small and bland, and the rolls are always too soggy.
      Chicago hot dogs, on the other hand, are a masterpiece. They got the juicy, all-beef frank. They got that perfectly grilled onion. And they put everything right on top of a poppy seed bun.

    I went to New York on a school trip and waited in line for an hour and a half just to try one and it was so delicious I waited again. It wasnt the original papayas tho.. now I want to try Papaya King dogs ❤️❤️❤️

    There's a food truck her run Central Florida that does a similar thing, but with a different take on it. Place is called Kona Dog, and they offer hot dogs in a sweet bun that's been hollowed out from the top and your choice of sauces, including a selection of fruit or fruit mix ones like coconut, pineapple, or mango mustard. Sounds/looks a look unusual but it's delicious.
