Message: [QUOTE="AreBee1969, post: 3585216, member: 7315"] I am pretty crazed about Hot Dogs, so apologies for this long post. I have been a Mucke's (natural casing) fan since I was a kid, and I the more I try other brands, the more I stand by my preference. Had a few (four) Grote & Wiegel's yesterday for the first time in a while and they just aren't as tasty as Mucke's. Rosol's, Hummel Bros and Kayem are also good, but Mucke's is the king in our house. Natural casings on any dog is a must. I like them cooked on the grill or boiled in beer and kraut. I usually put my homemade chili and dogs on the menu for one UCONN FB tailgate each year. For condiments, I mostly use Uncle Maynard's Hot Pepper relish (made in Waterbury) but dabble with sweet relish every now and then. Yellow mustard always goes with , sweet relish with spicy brown. Kosciusko is preferred but Bookbinders is good too. A guy I knew used to make a hot relish called Heaven and Hellish Relish. Freaking delicious! He no longer sells it, but every now and then I get my hands on a couple jars from a private batch. I have two rules in my house, you can't like the Yankees and you can't put Ketchup on a hot dog. There was a CPTV special on CT's Hot Dog Trail some years back and it hit a lot of the famous spots, but missed some big ones too. It inspired me to make my own list. On Father's Day a few years ago, my wife and kids took me on the first leg of my trail. We hit Super Duper Weenie, Al's, Blackies and Doogies. Rawley's is closed on Sundays otherwise I would have tried that one too. [USER=1522]@superjohn[/USER] Shiek's was great! I work in Hartford and miss sitting down at Woody's for lunch. Haven't been to the truck since he closed the restaurant. My current favorite is Carol's Lunchbox on Rt. 4 in Farmington. She's just a little bit loony, and makes a great dog! [/QUOTE]
