Definitely mayo on it is popular in many regions as is celery salt. I was skeptical too but liked the contrast

Yep and you'd cut them lengthwise so they wouldn't roll off the bread. And a slice of Kraft and that's lunch in the tree fort. Lol. :thumbup:

According to Wikipedia, hot dogs were not invented by him, but Nathan Handwerker (the founder of Nathan's) was responsible for really making them popular at his stand (and later restaurant) on Coney Island. Thus a "Coney" is synonymous with hot dogs, not neccessarily with the various ways of serving them. "Coney sauce" is therefore essentially, "hot dog sauce", used to liven up the too-often bland flavoring of hot dogs. Variations on it seem to have been invented in several places around the country (in Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Texas and Ontario) , mostly by Greek immigrants who opened up hot dog stands in various places. Michigan seems to be where it is the most popular and has sub-regional variations, including Detroit-, Flint-, Jackson- and Kalamazoo-style. In many Michigan "Coney Island" restaurants, Coney sauce is also served on scrambled hamburger. This is called a "Loose Burger." Both "Coney dogs" and "Loose Burgers" often come with onions and some mustard.

I personally prefer the drier, meatier Flint-style Coney sauce on hot dogs and the wetter, less-meaty Detroit-style on Loose Burgers. I go without mustard (never cared for the stuff) and onions (they don't like me - why should I like them?). Until reading this article, I'd never even heard of Jackson- or Kalamazoo-style Coney Sauce. Next time I go home to Michigan, I'm going to have to look those up!

Lordy, the sprung out a memory I'd long surpressed. My elementary school would wrap a slice of cheese (one of those evenly-slice, square, Kraft Single-types) and a slice of white bread around a god-awful, cheap hot dog, stick a toothpick through it and bake it. They served it under the name, "Winky Dinks". Yeezus!

However, somebody at Pillsbury must have suffered through something similar and came up with a recipe where you wrap one or two of those triangular-shaped "Crescent" bits of dough around a hot dog (preferrably a Koegel's, of course!) and bake that. That is surprisingly not bad.

At least nobody is claiming that the quarter-pound alleged hot dog they serve at Costco's along with a big old soda for a buck-fifty is anything remotely close to good. That thing is a tube of gas, just waiting to hit your gut before the gas is released. Nasty!

Kraft cheese.....translation: government cheese ;)

Ahhhhhh.

Eating under the umbrella at sabrett!

Detroit coney dogs, yummy

But it's only a buck fifty. :1rotfl:

Clarity
 

I *did* post that with some small level of trepidation. Onions, sauerkraut, relish, "chow chow" (whatever *that* might be) - those sorts of things. None of the various, viscous condiments irk me, no matter their source. I'll do better next time. :-)

Claims
 

I make that very claim. Could live on em. As to those cheese-like slices, can't count the number of weenies straight from the fridge with that very yellow slice as the "bun" that I've conveniently consumed! Heck, that stuff has *already* been cooked! Why would one require *further* cookage??

Now, I *do* have to admit to sometimes varying the shaping of said wrap. Oh, and a frozen hot dog straight from the freezer goes down little differently from a frozen Snickers bar. That cooking stuff is a *lot* of unnecessary work, seems to *me* - not to *mention* zero cleanup. Now I'm gonna have to ponder that "not to mention" cliche and how that never seems to prevent said "mention".

Frank Pepe's or Sally's?

Honestly, the original Pepe's in New Haven is the one that got it started for me. However, Pepe's and Sally's Apizza have now gone national. I get it but the original locations have the original ovens and the ambiance. That said, Modern Apizza is my new favorite New Haven haunt.

Y'all boil everything!

No self respecting hot dog connoisseur eats boiled hot dog (except for the "dirty water dogs form the carts in NYC and Philly...). They must be grilled, so you get that crunch!

Now go sit in a corner and think about what you did...

Nathan's hot dogs are "Kosher Style", meaning they are all beef. So no, they don't qualify as Halal, either...

Back in college , I worked in a Kosher Deli in DC. We had many Muslim customers shopping there, as their dietary laws are very similar to Kosher.

Hey, you could have chosen a veggie dog as your favorite hot dog. Yum! With guacamole and American cheese. 🤮🤢😵*💫

All beef but would not associate the nathan hot dogs in any way with Kosher

Never said they were. I was simply clarifying the poster raving about Nathan's and "must be Halal". He was wrong...

Sorry you seem to be a lost cause.

Hot dogs must have mustard and sauerkraut but will allow any kind of bread to hold it.

However anyone who puts pickle relish and miracle whip, with raw onion and cheese on a hot dog would never come to one of our bbq's.

Hot Dogs
 

Ted's hot dog - BUFFALO N.Y. charcoal broiled - has a stand inTAMPA FLl - a TED owner that retired south - nobody seems to have charcoal broiled hot dogs or hamburgers

Get the white clam at The Modern. Their bacon apizza will rock your world. If you're feeling naughty, go for the white clam casino, which combines the two for extra goodness.

That does sound good!

It’s cute that you think a tube steak is a hotdog.

White Eagle Hot Dogs
found in Albany/Schenectady/Troy
area of NY give a HD
a whole other name.

no all beef dogs, pls. from up north, Doogies is the best, down here i go to ConeyIsland in Wildwood,

i remember those!! i loved CapitalLunch

You mean dirty Wata

Is it true or myth that the Sabrett hotdogs ‘flavor’ comes from the armpit sweat of the vendors into the water below? Not kidding, this has been urban legend for years

It adds that delightful touch of umami taste.

Oh, but they are soooo good for the morale!

Sorry, you are all wrong, lol
The finest is........
Black Angus Hot Dogs

Zweigles
 

Well I've read 5 pages and haven't seen a Zweigles comment yet. Up north you can get them at Wegmans and just about any major supermarket. Our relatives in Florida beg for us to bring them with us when we visit and then they ration them out until our next visit. For those of you who are grossed out by the thought of a hot dog, I'm guessing the option for red or WHITE hotdogs would push you further to the edge but some really love those best. They are all fat and pop open when they are ready. To each his own but something to try if you get the chance.

Oh yea! Well, ZWEIGLE'S TO YOU, TOO! 🤬😠

I can’t believe there’s eight pages of posts and no one has mentioned Vienna Beef dogs, poppy seed buns, mustard, celery salt, and sauerkraut which equals perfection.

Guess you've never been to New England for real hotdogs.

Dogs
 

Hummels with skin. Regular for the spouse, big bites for me. Boxed, not the water drowned package.

Skin??? Real Kosher sho have part9f the skin removed, no?
