OT: Best hot dogs

And the Hormel chili to go on top.

Nice touch of class with the grease pool on top.

And yes, in an office of about 200 these things are gone by noon. $2.

I'm with the OP, however I eat far more than 3 a year. Miller's were the best (along with their bologna), but sadly gone. Hummels or nothing else if cooking at home.

Ferraro's Market in New Haven - I put these just behind Hummels and as good as Muckes/G&W. The Big Bites are great but won't fit on New England style rolls without breaking them!

Is this place related to Ferraro's "The Meat King" that recently opened in Madison, CT? Right near Hammonassett Ford on rt. 1.

Yup and you can order what you want on-line and they will have it ready for pick-up @ the Madison or Meriden satellite locations. They make a mean porchetta w/ fat cap too...
 
No Sabretts? (Fred's) Shanty in New London has great dogs. They use / once used Roesseler's.
 
For some reason, ball park hot dogs taste a lot better than store bought. I love Fenway franks at Fenway, but Fenway Franks bought at the store are awful (or aweful, if superjohn is reading this).

And nothing beats a sausage with onions, peppers, and hot spicy mustard from a cart. A close second is the chili cheese dogs from the food truck when I was at UConn. Either (or both), with an ice cold Coke in a glass bottle - awesome combination (or awsome for superjohn).

Now I'm hungry.

Long fun-filled day including golf in morning, lunch at Bass Pro Shop, visit to fireworks store and sunset boat ride.

Two Nathan's Famous. Ketchup, yellow mustard, shredded cheddar and dill pickle. On a paper plate to avoid dishes.

Hummel's with Dijon mustard.
Yellow mustard belongs with ketchup.
 
I had my first real Chicago style dog recently. Mustard, relish, pickle, diced onion, sliced tomato peppers and celery salt. Surprisingly good. I never thought the tomatoes would work for me but the complete combination turned out amazing.

I once ordered two dogs with the works at the concession stand at a state run boat ramp in Alabama. The woman looked at me funny and shrugged. When she handed me two dogs with Lettuce, Tomato, pickle, a slice of onion and mayonnaise, I said I expected mustard, relish and chopped onion. She explained that "the works" usually goes on a hamburger, and she'd never had anyone ask for it on a hot dog before.

To tell the truth, they weren't half bad.

It's a good combination. Devil is in the details with those though. Gotta be the right sport peppers and it has to be the neon green relish.
 
I used to love Jimmy's of Savin Rock, I think they called it the split hot dog. They probably went out of business before most of you were born.
 
Speaking of hot dogs I was lucky enough to play golf at Oak Hill in Rochester NY this week and at the turn was asked what I'd like to eat as they call it in on the tee at 9. I said something quick like a dog and the member I played with asked me "the red dog or the white hot"? Honestly I'm a NEer so what do I know about a white dog, so the coward in me went red to be safe. By the way the red dog was tremendous, the slice open and grill to perfection there charred where it needs to be, a really good dog no doubt. They explained quickly about the white hot and at some point I will need to try one.

There are many of you here from upper state area so I'm guessing we have some experience here with this type, can I get some feedback? Didn't get to see one as no one ordered one from our group or the others at the snack bar. I'm curious now, but didn't want to ruin my round in case it went down wrong LOL

Been to Jimmy's many times, agree really good food there overall including the split dogs.

Well with recommendations like this I went over to the new shop in Meriden yesterday and loaded up for the next few days. Had their kielbasa last night which was very good... bought their beef franks, the big bites... along with ribs and chicken and a chuck roast that I'm going to throw on the smoker tomorrow. Can't wait.

Red hots and white hots. Basically sausages with different seasonings to get the colors.

You got them done right. Split 'em open and have them grilled on the flat top.

Jimmies was the best. Period. Have never had a dog anywhere that was as good as Jimmies in the old days.

Not sure if it's still in the Gagliardi family, but the sit-down restaurant part is still in business, and you can still get split hot dogs there. But despite the fact that they still look more or less the same, neither the dogs nor the fries are anywhere near as good as they were in the 60s and 70s. They are OK. But OK is far from spectacular, and they used to be spectacular.

They opened a location (franchise?) on Black Rock Tpk in Fairfield in the late 60s or 70s. It was just as good as West Haven. But it only lasted a couple years. It's a Duchess now.
 
OK, so I went on a dog quest Memorial Day weekend and failed. I tried to find Hebrew National NATURAL casing which is not what is being sold anywhere that I know about. When leople buy Hebrew National they think they are getting the real thing but no. These are on a link. The Crown Market will order them as long as you buy a whole bag about 7 pounds at 10 bucks a pound. They will not open a bag of them in their store because it ain't quite kosher enough for some reason. They are unreal but the truck didn't come in that day so .I got Boars Head natural casing all beef on the link atHighland Market, is extremely close and I believe is a clone. Any other sources?

Good stuff, really enjoyed the red.

As for golf, you being a golf guy - ouch! A history laden course like Oak Hill West, home to many Grand Slams like the PGA (Shaun Micheel 2003 with the 7 iron to 2 feet on 18, 2013 Dufner PGA and another coming in 2023), US Opens (Midlecoff and Nicklaus wins) and Ryder Cup - well anyway playing this course from near the black tees, the blues are 6700 which we played you really get a feel on how damn good these guys are. I mean this is as demanding a Ross course that I ever played although traditional. I mean every hole is tree lined but the fairways and space between the fairways and trees are ample enough. But between the rough and the approach to bunker laden surroundings as well as greens being on hills 70% of the time, it plays even longer. I knew on #1 when I saw the tee marker in stone at 433 and I striped my absolute best, still had 178 in I was like wow I thought I hit it a little better, then looked at the approach which with the bunkers staring at me made the 178 look 195, I knew I was in for a dogfight. Well the course wan't in for much of a fight as I bowed out gracefully after 18 and was so happy it was over. No matter, I'd play it again it was just fin being out there on such history.

Would love to play Oak Hill. Classic case of a course not having to be 7500 yards to play long. Like you said, it's a battle on every shot. You can't just swing from the heels; you are using every club and having to work those clubs.

I played yesterday for the first time in 3 months and am playing this afternoon for a church outing. It's a coastal course and looks like 15 mph winds all day. Plus, it's an afternoon tee time which means weather will be insufferable.

Had a white hot dog at Heid's in Liverpool, NY once a long time ago. Which is supposedly a famous place. It was pretty good but haven't had one since. So I'm guessing this is an upper NY state thing.
