Frankfurters and other named tube steaks..
 

Akin to my ketchup thread, it is time to seriously discuss frankfurters…aka hot dogs, weiners etc.

There is absolutely no frank other than Nathans in Coney Island, Brooklyn that is worth eating. All others are ground pulp compared to Nathans.
After all, the famous hot dog eating contest is at Nathans!
Nothing better than standing out on surf avenue in coney island enjoying the only true American Hot Dog.

Now before you people from chicago chime in. Chicago style hot dogs are an disaster to the culinary world..who can taste the meat with a kitchen sink piled on it.

And lets not discuss something MidWesterners call “Coney Sauce”….there is no Coney Sauce in Coney Island

And lets not go anywhere saying that chili should be on a hot dog..at most, some mustard nd sauerkrut. You want to eat chili..eat it..leave it off a hot dog.

And New Jersey….ive seen them put cream cheese or mashed potatoes on hot dogs…another abomination to the human spirit.

Nathans is the only true hot dog….it must also be HALAL,

Trolling....Part 2

I like Trader Joe's Pups. With mustard, & naturally fermented sauerkraut.

Serious discussion…if you would like to discuss,please comment about hot dogs in boston..that would be intersting.
Do they put baked beans on hot dogs there?

Seriously, I’m not saying people don’t but the places I go to in Boston.... like Sullivan’s on Castle Island (South Boston)....it’s standard offerings ( minced onion, relish, mustard and dare I say....KETCHUP!)

New Englanders, Maine specifically, know of an iconic spot in York, Maine. A roadside converted mobile home that pushes out untold numbers of hotdogs yearly. Proprietary dog made locally with a little snap, steamed bun and again a proprietary relish, which topped with mayo and celery salt is....what you eat before you go to the electric chair! Amazing

Oops! Flo’s Hot Dogs...Cape Neddick ME

My friend snowbirds in Ogunquit..i belive pretty close to york. I willhave to ask him about that.

I grew up with Blackies Hot Dog with their home made relish since 1928 Cheshire Ct and Capitol Lunch with their meat sauce since 1929 New Britain Ct both use Martin Rosol all beef hot dogs with natural casings established 1928.
Nathan’s established 1916 is now a Chinese owned company.

Hot dogs must be all beef from parts of the cow that we would normally eat which is why Kosher are best.

Further we should only allow mustard and sauerkraut to be put on the dog on top of the bun.

Exactly….nathans is great. But still nothing better than a hot dog vendor on a NYC street corner selling Sabretts

Sorry you are totally wrong. Nathans are ok but Kosher much better, and sabretts comes from parts of an animal you would get disgusted with if you knew.

You're right, for at home, Hebrew Nationals are pretty good.

I like Oscar Meyer all beef hot dogs with yellow mustard and sweet relish.

Real Kosher Hot Dogs, with natural casings. Typically sold at a Kosher butcher shop or deli, link style, where you can buy a strand of dogs...

You'll get that "CRUNCH" when you bite them...

Add brown mustard, maybe sauerkraut and your golden...

There is only one Hot Dog in the world, worth eating ... & that's a Fenway Frank, sitting in the Bleachers at Fenway Park.

Get 'em while you can, because there won't be Bleacher Seats much longer.

All others are wannabes.

Flo's aren't all that great. The dogs are lousy, the relish is ... interesting. The whole thing is just a novelty from the past. & trust me, eating a hot dog in 10 degree weather, while standing knee deep in snow, takes some of the fun out your hot dog experience.

Just had a Fenway Frank (in my kitchen). You should give Flo’s another try....maybe in 80 degree weather and a 70 dew point, much better experience ;)

Btw...great picture. Only thing that has changed is fuel injection and asphalt roads!

Yep, but at least the same people are still working there ... other than Flo, who thankfully, has moved to a place where the hot dogs are always hot.

Up north we could buy Kosher (better than Hebrew National) hot dogs at supermarkets but not down here.

Yup...she used to count the money in the back like a Boss!

Great Chicago Fire in Leesburg actually has a good Chicago style hot dog.

A hotdog made with chicken on a bun with one-half hollowed out and filled with ketchup - what more could anyone hope for?

We will only eat Hebrew National hot dogs. Or rather, my husband and my dogs.
When the dogs go into their crates at night, they get 1/6th of a Hebrew National all beef hot dog. All I have to do is open the fridge door at 11 pm and they go tearing into their crates.
This does not work with my husband.

Connecticut pups
 

Hot dog aficionados may enjoy watching the film “A Connecticut Hot Dog Tour”. It’s pricey to purchase on Amazon but the trailer and individual clips of the various iconic Connecticut hot dog stands (including Blackies) can be found on YouTube.

Hummel's all-beef hotdogs, footlong, split and grilled, on a grilled top-split hot-dog roll, with spicy mustard and chopped onion.
Or their regular, with chili and shredded cheddar cheese.
Or my absolute favorite: with shredded cheddar and two strips of bacon.

But always split dogs. And always Hummel's. Can't get them around here and so far I haven't had anything that comes close.

(and yeah they're from Connecticut. Made in New Haven. Perri Sausage Company and Lenders Bagels originate in New Haven too. My grandfather was friends with Mr. Lender, and I worked briefly as a temp at Perri Sausage.)

You can get kosher dogs south of here, in Tampa, and West Palm and Boynton Beach, Boca Raton, Ft. Lauderdale, Deerfield Beach, all of that mess on the east coast. Lots of excellent Jewish delis and bagel shops to choose from. Lots of all kinds of local cultural foods from all different cultures. Unforunately, one thing that lacks in The Villages is diversity.

Smith's Natural Casing Wieners from Erie, PA. Absolutely the best!

New Haven for me is all about coal oven pizza!

Hot dogs are an abomination, food of the devil and should be banned, Kosher, Halal or Coney.
They even boil the disgusting things, for heaven’s sake
The ingredients seen to be a paste of unidentifiable source, much of which I am sure is waste from food bins, and veterinary surgeries.
There is only one item of culinary perfection that is worth eating, in a bread roll, and that is the Great British Banger.
Perfection in a roll or on a plate!

No baked beans are allowed on hotdogs in Boston. My two cents says Hebrew National are better than Nathan’s which taste like smoke and grease

Yeah, I'm sure by your 'banger' is loaded with heart healthy ingredients

1. Oscar Meyers all beef cooked over campfire
2. Costco hotdog

Nathans are Islamic hot dogs??? " no halal needed thanks

There was a thread that stated a new sports bar is coming to the south. Supposedly, it is going to serve a variety of dogs named after pro players. Maybe, you will get your wish. Kosher dogs are the best. I would rather have a thick and juicy burger.

OP Doesn’t Nathan’s make “coney” packaged in 1 or 5 pound packages, which can be bought at grocery such as Kroger, Meijer, Or shipped directly to your home?

So does Nathan’s make coney for only Midwestern people? Cause is also served in their establishments.

Then again National Coney dogs and coney can also be bought At Gordon’s.

Hot dogs
 

Oscar Mayer with my homemade hotdog chili sauce.

Never thought I would rather see a dog s#$* post

Really? Do you know what the slang term “tube steak” means? It’s like a one-eyed trouser snake.

lol we have the hotdog religious wars now.. one guy wants Islamic halal dogs and the others want the kosher version.. and Nathan’s is absolutely the worst hot dogs anyone has ever had in my opinion..
