Best hotdogs recommendation...

[TeamPB]

Can't beat a Chicago dog from a classic stand, period!

I moved from Chicago to Colorado 20 years ago. We are having dogs tonight. Fork in the Road, all pasture raised beef and Continental Bison Wieners, both oven roasted in cast iron. Nathan's mustard, sauerkraut, pickles, onions, oven fries, onion rings and beer will all be present. That's the best I can do under the circumstances.

German brauts and a hard bun with hot german mustard spoiled me forever on American hotdogs.

But I can make do with Nathans or Hebrew National.

Love Hebrew National dogs!

Boutique hot dogs notwithstanding, my vote for commercially produced hot dog goes to Hebrew National!

Nathan’s would be my second choice.

and if you want a couple of drops of ketchup that's OK too.

Heretic!!!

A good hot dog is all about the chili, good chili can even make a cheap, bad hot dog OK.

I have to admit I do like Wienerschnitzel's chili cheese dogs.

When I lived in Torrance CA with my oldest sister they used to put them on special for 99¢ on Tuesdays.
I still stop there on occasion while I'm in Salt Lake.

Last weekend my boss had his family here in the park for the weekend and invited me for dinner.

We cooked them over an open fire. I was able to put enough mustard and relish on them to get them down.

Other than Wienerschnitzel's chili cheese dogs I avoid them and they're not something that you will ever find in my fridge.

As to ketchup, I don't know if it goes along with puberty and voice changing but Logan used to love ketchup on hot dogs, brats, metts and hamburgers. I'm not sure when the transformation took place but he is now strictly a mustard guy. I can now let him sit next to me at the ballpark.

Well, that brings back memories. As a kid I used to get their corn dogs. Loved 'em. For corn dogs, only mustard will do.

That was back in 1975.

For me it was the 1980s.

Love Hebrew National dogs!

They are our family favorite too.

When we lived in NJ Dad would take my brother and I to midget and sprint car races Williamsgrove, Reading, Lincoln and such. All seemed to be along the same route because we always stopped at a little roadside hotdog stand. There was a model train track around the ceiling that cost a nickel to see run.
The place was called Jimmy John and the hotdogs were called RedHots. Nice big dogs with a crisp casing. Maybe my memory exceeds the actual tastes but BOY WERE THEY GOOD!

Jimmy Johns is still there on Rt.202, just drove past it this afternoon. Jimmy John died several years ago, but one of the staff inherited the business. It burned down about ten years ago, but was rebuilt. The trains are still there.

Some here are compairing Bratwurst to Hotdogs.

I consider them two different things.

Neither to be consumed with ketchup.

Kentucky Legends are pretty good, as are Hebrew Nationals.

I prefer smoked sausages to hot dogs.

 

[Mule Packer]

Hebrew National. Anything else is just pig lips and sphincter muscles.

True, but bratwursts (or Polish sausage, my personal preference) can be quite tasty on a bun with some mustard.

Nothing beats Nathan's with a lashing of mustard and dill relish.

I don't know how folks eat Ball Park. To me they taste like soggy cardboard. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

 

[mike from st pete]

Dietz&Watson hotdogs, they're the best commercial made hotdogs in my opinion. Boar's Head are a distant second.

You're not putting enough stuff on them to completely cover the taste of them.

You need a bigger slice of dill, some sauerkraut and a lot more mustard.

I moved from NY to PA years ago. I miss the Sabbrett dirty water dogs. One of the best I've found out here is Deats & Watsons.
