I want a Papaya King hot dog.”
“They have a good natural skin,” Fleming said. “What they do is they grill them up just the right way and when you bite it, it just snaps and there’s like a little bit of a juiciness to it.

Papaya King’s main phone line continues to be inactive at the time of publication.
