Jerry Starkman was nicknamed “Colonel Mustard” for founding Mustard’s Last Stand, a hot dog hut that has operated in the shadow of Northwestern University’s football stadium in Evanston for 53 years. Mr. Starkman, 84, died Sunday of complications of old age.
This is just one of the many Hot Dog joints I'd frequent growing up, RIP Jerry!
