The Perfect Hot Dog

[JEBar]

when it comes to hotdogs and most other foods, my taste are pretty simple (I drink straight black coffee) .... what toppings do you like on a hot dog and where do you find it .... I like an all beef hot dog topped with yellow mustard, mayo, white slaw and onions ..... my source has long been Grill '57 ===> http://www.grill57.com/ <=== .... it is located on the south side of Raleigh it is a throwback restaurant that plays music from the '50's & '60's .. .. its all beef, foot long hotdog (#7 on their menu) is the standard against which I judge all other hot dogs .... so far, in all of our travels, I've never found one as good, much less any better .... if/when you are in the area and enjoy an atmosphere that will take you back to much simpler times, give it a try

For me it is a redskin hot dog with the skin that snaps when you bite it. Cover that in chili, onions, and mustard. And the bun needs to be soft and fresh.

My favorite way to eat hot dogs is slice two and put them in a can of pork and beans with sauteed onions and mushrooms and some brown sugar. Comfort food at it's best. I loved fixing a pot of beans and hot dogs after a long day diving the river in the winter. Let it simmer while I take a nice hot shower to get the river funk off me and warm me up. Doesn't get any better than that.

In the north country, I really like Glaziers. Across from Paul Smith's college a fellow sells these "Michigan style". I must admit they are good.

I like a nice natural casing dog with onions and german mustard. Soft bun is a plus.

A red skin/frankfurter with onions, mustard and tomato ketchup in a nice fresh white roll/bun. Luvverly!

we have a good friend who lives in Texas that wants us to give Good Dog ===> http://gooddoghouston.com/ <=== a try .... I must say, they offer toppings that I'd never considered .... many that after considering, I wouldn't order .. ..

Kosher or Nathen's with kraut and mustard

I prefer Kosher hot dogs, too, though with spicy brown mustard, either sweet pickle or hot pepper relish, and finely chopped onions. I also like the bun to be buttered and toasted on both sides. It might be on the lunch menu today.

All beef hot dog, sliced down the center, insert a slice of string cheese, wrap in bacon, broil it so it's healthy for you, bakery bun, Heinz Ketchup. Wow

Buffalo Hot dogs are the only ones I can eat and not get indigestion. With relish and mustard and a whiskey on the rocks.

[JEBar]

are you referring to a hot dog made from Buffalo or one with Buffalo type sauce

[Henry88]

and NOT get indigestion?????

Ball Park franks (not all beef), dijon mustard and catsup, maybe a little relish. Love hot dogs but don't eat many anymore as I mostly avoid white bread and don't care for whole wheat hot dog buns.

understood and agree with both white bread and whole wheat buns .... I'll eat a hotdog without a bun rather than one with whole wheat ... I make it a point to limit carbs so for me a hotdog, hamburger, or sandwich of most any kind has become a reasonably rare treat .... the same is true of a baked Irish potato ....

I use Franz "16 oz 100% whole wheat" or Franz "45 calorie 9 grain" for my morning scrambled egg sandwich. Slices are a little small but only 19 or 16 grams of carbs for 2 slices and they're both 100% whole grain. Add a slice of ham and cheese, cup of fat free cottage cheese and an apple and I'm at about 55 grams of carbs and very little fat.

Best hot dogs always seem to be in hockey arenas; always a treat when I was growing up.
