Marcuse fooled around in
his kitchen, searching for the
formula for that perfect ballpark mus-

ballpark hot dogs than Detroit's most
famous hot dog salesman?
That experience in the kitchen
taught Marcuse that it could take a
lifetime for him to develop the perfect
mustard. So he decided to go to the

During 10 years as Tiger Stadium's
and then Comerica Park's singing hot
dog man, Marcuse, who also is a cloth-

Charley's in the last month. Among his
25 customers: Hiller's Supermarkets,
Westborn Market, Steve's and the Stage
