OT: Best hot dogs

Mr. French said:
Thank you sir.

I tend to go with Sahlen's out of habit, and when I think summer time hot dogs, I think Sahlen's grilled.

But I don't know, Wardynski's may in fact be better. My Polish step father certainly prefers them.

Good luck to your daughter, obviously you know the Sahlen's park is the biggest soccer place in the area, so I assume they're well represented. I doubt Wardynski's has a high level soccer program, lol.

Come on man. Buffalo is Western NY. Those brands are meaningless in the eastern part of the state so don't cast those wieners upon us. The only way I know Sahlen's is because we work with the athletic program of schools in Rochester that routinely play in Sahlen Stadium - other than that they aren't in Eastern NY or the North Country.
 
Thumbs up for the Ferraro's Big Bites with natural casing. Even charred and blistered from my screw-up overheating the grill, they were moist and tasty. Mrs. 8893 had already purchased standard New England hot dog buns and I made do with that, but it was ridiculously small for that beast. On the plus side, though, it allowed me to taste more of the dog, which was a good thing.

Unfortunately, I live in a veritable hot dog wasteland. About the only ones I can get are the national packaged brands, or maybe Boar's Head.

As for ketchup, I like almost anything on hot dogs. Jalapeno mustard, extra sharp cheddar cheese, onions (raw or grilled), sauerkraut, hot relishes, chili, pickles, ketchup, hot sauce, etc. What really got me was about 10 years ago I went to lunch with a friend of mine who's originally from northern Louisiana. I put ketchup on a cheeseburger and he almost flipped out. "Why would anyone put ketchup on a cheeseburger?", he asked. He acted like I was committing a mortal sin. I've never seen anyone react that way to ketchup on a cheeseburger. I can't imagine how he would have reacted if I had put ketchup on a hot dog. It's not like I was pouring it on a filet mignon steak. I don't eat at McDonald's anymore, but didn't they used to automatically put ketchup, mustard and pickles on most of their burgers, unless you told them not to?

You must be new to the OT food threads.

The Ballpark Smoked Turkey Hot Dog is not the best hot dog in the world, but at 45 calories, it might be just what the doctor ordered for some of you.

I like them microwaved for 25 seconds and then ketchup'd. We don't have hot dog rolls, so I had to break them in half to fit them onto hamburger rolls.

You're haven't lived until you've put them on the bun and added the ketchup BEFORE microwaving, and don't forget to add a few seconds.

Best supermarket dog for the home grill are Black Bear natural casing hot dogs sold at ShopRite. Best hotdogs you could ever have eating out was at Rawleys in Fairfield before Chico sold the place ten or so years ago.
 
#1 Norwalks's Swanky Franks chili dog
#2 Any Umbrella Room near the Biology building on Washington Square Park on my way to Biochem. Two with the works
#3 Hebrew National boiled with Gulden's mustard!
#4 Don't have one

This is old but I need to respond: the answer to what hot dogs are best grilled is one of those two, geography be damned. I didn’t see the OP say “only mention ones I can find in a 5 mile radius of my house.”
 
So y'all get a kick out of this. We moved to Dallas 3.5 years ago and there are three things we miss more than anything about Connecticut...because we literally cannot find them anywhere in DFW:

  • A good hot dog (Glenwood, Swanky Franks in its day, Frankies, etc.)
  • Homemade creamy ice cream (Sweet Claudes)
  • Connecticut pizza -- or NY pizza for that matter.
Three boneyard staples and damn I miss them. They are FIRST things we head for whenever we go to CT.

As a dedicated hot dog place Snappy Dogs in Hopkinton, MA is excellent.

Store hot dogs we end up with Maple Leaf because that’s what my wife likes. Have never compared them. Ballpark for kids.

Agree on point 1. And Rawley's were good. But couldn't hold a candle to Jimmie's of Savin Rock pre1970 dogs.
 
Major News! The Crown Market West Hartford has had Hebrew National natural casing on the link, but call first. They have a separate stand in the far left corner of the store where they have the dogs and stuff like pastrami. They also have Heb Nat salami there they will custom slice ultra thin, to die for.

Please believe me when I tell you the NYT survey is bogus because these dogs blow away packaged Hebrew National (WHICH WON THE SURVEY) not the same deal. They are not cheap dogs but worth every penny. They have that snap.

Everyone knows that relish not ketchup or even mustard is how you dress a dog. Combine the perfect hot dog (hummels) with the perfect relish and you get Blackies hot dogs in Cheshire. Your welcome.

Blackies puts out that relish and mustard for a reason.

By far the pigs in a blanket that Thumpers used to roll out during nickel night buffet. That place literally fed me for free once I moved off campus while simultaneously taking all of the food money my parents gave me to live on. Marketing geniuses.
 
I just ate this SOB for lunch today. Jaxson's in Dania Beach, FL. They got rid of my favorite chicago dog and I opted for this. Great dog and fresh baked bread to boot.
