Mark -- why springless tongs? Not questioning the advice, just curious (I've never worked in food service).

Spring loaded tongs have sharp edges that can cut fingers and eventually loose their tension.

LOL, good thing they didn't get Marion Barber. He'd probably drop a bunch of the hot dogs.

Or Sam Hurd. Instead of sprinkling celery salt on top, he would have used cocaine and sold the dogs by the ounce.

Sorry. Too easy.
