Best Hotdogs

[SC Maintenance]

Boars Head Uncured are good, but we only do hotdogs maybe twice a year so we don't compare that often.

I get mine from a local place. Much fresher, tastier, and juicier than any national brand.

I get mine at Publix if they're in your area.

Unfortunately, no Publix near me, but I get down south regularly....so thanks for letting me know that.

Try one of these hot dogs.

Hebrew National. It isn't even a question.

Party pooper.

It's a personal preference. Eat what you want. Cook your eggs in bacon grease.

Doesn't everyone cook eggs in bacon grease. Thats how I eat them, one time wife made them in butter, yuk, but to each his own. Growing up it was either lard or bacon grease. Sometimes I wrap my hot dogs with bacon and the dogs are cooked in the grease.

Is this Jim's in pittsburgh?

Nope, Jim's in Chicago.

Nope, Jim's in Chicago.

The very best thing at Jim's is the bone in pork chop sandwich, a close second is Jim's Polish Sausage. And the coolest thing about Jim's is that it is open 24x7, 365 days per year. Jims was often a stop for me while do cross country moves. The concern at Jim's over the past few years is safety.

Awesome place Jim's is....

Hard to find around here but when I do, I buy them!!! Can't beat that "snap" when you biting down on it. When I visit my daughter near VA Beach there is a small stand that sells I believe is the hormel brand that they advertise as having the snap. They are ok but just not as good as Nathans.

If you want the most snap you may want to try a knackwurst. Nothing pops like that when you bite into it.

I've always wanted to try Papaya King

Have to try it, never had. Had Brats but really not much flavor IMHO, Had weisswurst(sp?) but I was told to remove casing and I did. It was ok but wouldn't get again. Try anything once or twice depending on who is cooking it.

Best dogs I have had, were from a meat locker in Atlantic, IA. Friend of mine owns and runs the place. Built at around 1978 I'm guessing and he is probably pushing 70 years old by now.

Danish family that moved to my home town in the 1960's and owned a locker there, until it burned down around 1975.
Would love to go shopping there again, but I gave up driving. Best meats around in this area.

There used to be a Hot Dog Cart at a Home Depot in Charlotte called Uptown Donnie's. I have no idea what brand he used, but Man, they were good!

Depends….

I like real frankfurters from good German butcher shops. Usually it’s Reicker’s in Philadelphia or Barth’s in New Providence, NJ.

I like a Sabrett dirty water dog now and again but it’s probably been years since I last had one.

Otherwise I’ll take Hoffman’s hot dogs from Upstate NY. Preferably the white ones.

I do try to get a vienna beef Chicago style dog when I’m in the area….

Growing up the Weis Markets in PA had a store brand cheese dog that was large and delicious. They’ve long since not had them and no others I’ve tried have been the same.

Believe it or not the hot dog that is served in the cafeteria at the hospital that our kids were born in was quite good. Must be over an inch in diameter and cooks up juicy.

It used to be one of the places to go for a car meet any summer weekend before the city starting shutting those down in the past decade. That and it's neighbor Maxwells is awesome but definitely in an unsafe spot now.

It might be a regional brand but Kayem beef hotdogs is my favorite. Runner’s up: Nathan’s beef franks, then Ball Park beef franks.

When I make a hot dog I use a large Frankfurter sausage and I put it on a crunchy roll. I don't bother with little wieners. Coarse mustard, preferably, you knew it was coming, Grey Poupon.

Do you know why they are called hot dogs? It's because Vienna sausages look like dachshunds: long and thin. That's where the dog in hot dog comes from and also the term wiener dog.

Sometime in the 2000s I was on a business trip to Paris and went to see the Eiffel Tower. Guy outside it was selling what he called hot dogs. A grilled sausage with real beef rather than filler, stuck into a crisp baguette and slathered with coarse mustard that homemade rather than coming out of a bottle.

Mon dieu, cela semble délicieux!
