Hot Dogs - Yummie? or Yuck?

[packman]

An article to answer all your questions about the origins of the hot dog, it's good side/bad side, veggie dogs and all others mysteries of the great American hot dog. I don't care, an occasional dog , Chicago Style with all the crap piled on it is still OK with me - and who can forget a dog roasted over a campfire till it was black charred. Good memories.

1. The best dogs I've had recently are at Costco. A bigger than normal hdog and drink = $1.50.

[packman]

2. Hell , Yah

That brought back memories. Haven't been to a Costco in years, they aren't around here, but the big dog, coke, and pretzel made a great lunch. Sam's had the same, I believe.

10. Sam's has 'em too

Big ass hot dog and a small trashcan full of soda for $1.65.

12. But Costco pays the cook better. Both are a good deal.

3. I am a vegetarian, but during my meat-eating past,

I would not eat hot dogs. They contain all the scraps from the slaughter house floor.

[Inkfreak]

4. Yummy, grilled. Gross, boiled.

I don't eat em a lot. But I do love coneys. Or snappers as some call em. Hoffman, they make the best imho.

7. Yeah, same here.

I hardly ever eat them except in the Summer. A grilled hot dog is hard to resist.

5. There is a place in NJ, off Rte 3, called Rutt's Hut...

where they have the dogs made for them by a local butcher and fry them. Just cooked is the newbies way-- aficionados want the Ripper, where the dog is burst open a bit. Some may want the Cremated, but they ask you twice before they give you one.

And the mustard...

It's worth the trip to Joisey.

6. Yummy, unless

paired with yucky stuff such as mustard, cheese, or relish.

[Callmecrazy]

11. Those are required by law...

And don't forget the jalapenos.

[KamaAina]

15. I actually wouldn't mind those

[cherokeeprogressive]

17. A couple tablespoons of chili and finely chopped onions.

Alternative: Just enough mayonnaise/ketchup for that taste.

[KamaAina]

20. I define mayo as a weapon of mass destruction

which, among other things, means that Iraq actually did have WMD.

8. When I was a kid living in Madison, Wisconsin in the late 50s

you could see the Oscar Meyer plant from our back yard. Our next door neighbor Mr. Moss worked in the plant making hot dogs. His family would occasionally come to our house for a back yard cook out. Whenever we offered him a grilled hot dog he would look ill. He said you could not pay him enough to eat a hot dog.

One of my fondest cook out memories as a kid was the grilled bratwurst. The bratwurst in Wisconsin were supreme back in those days.

9. I love Sabrett's

Especially with their onion sauce and some sour kraut... Damn, we really needs these out here in Colorado.

[yuiyoshida]

13. To tell the truth ... I can not eat

Pork or Beef...because of allergic reaction but... I love Turkey Dogs and Chicken dogs sometimes too especially with Chili and a tiny bit of cheese. I also like sour kraut on a bun with Turkey Dogs as well.

14. Hebrew National

. I love 'em - grilled, boiled, microwaved, raw...it don't matter. Kraut and mustard and/or relish is my usual but I LOVE a full-on Chicago dog. There's a few places down here that make 'em right. And Sonic has a pretzel dog with cheese and bacon that works real good for me. Real good.

We also sometimes just make chili dogs with Hormel (no beans) chili. Slop 'em up so you gotta eat it with a fork.


I used to love Oscar Mayer but they changed something a while back and and I don't know what it was but they taste funny now. Don't like 'em at all.

16. Beef dog w/ ketchup, mustard, onions, chili, and slaw...

[Liberal Veteran]

18. I have to go with yuck. Too many years of fried bologna and hot dogs.

Smoked beef sausage with sauerkraut and mustard though, is quite tasty.

[sendero]

19. Yummy...

... so long as you don't think about what you are eating

[Demo_Chris]

21. You can buy a whole package for a buck at Walmart. nt

22. Ted's in Buffalo, NY

best hot dogs ever....chargrilled

They opened a restaurant in Tempe, AZ and the line of people is out the door.

23. Love them with sauer kraut, spicy mustard, and chili

Sriracha, pepper relish, and caramelized onions make them amazing.
