Hot dogs are so unhealthy, it's a shame that they are tasty. I love a good chili cheese dog or a kraut dog. It was such a treat to attend the movies in Oklahoma with my cousins when I was a kid. Their theater sold fresh deep fried corndogs. Talk about a treat...

Veggie dog? Turkey dog? Nope. Sorry, posers - but if it's not mashed-up chicken lips & pig butts, it's not a real hot dog. I'm talking about the ones that cost less than the buns they go into. Those are hot dogs.

:D

One advantage of deciding to go vegetarian a few years ago is that it is much easier to walk past that type of hot dog if you can say "nope, I don't eat those" rather than "I really shouldn't..." ;)
 
I love hotdogs. Give it to me loaded with ketchup, mustard, and lots of relish please!!!! Of course I only eat that maybe once in a blue moon.

I actually prefer Italian sausage or brats over hotdogs.
 
In my early married life, my fishing buddy and I went fishing for the weekend. I brought a couple of packages of hotdogs that we could cook over a little fire to get us through the weekend. When I told him what I had brought, he said oh God... not hotdogs.. please no hotdogs. He went onto say that his pregnant wife was only hungry for hotdogs. She fixed him hotdogs for breakfast and packed him hotdogs for lunch. He said he came home from work one night and she said "I'm making us a pizza for dinner" He hurried through a shower and was all excited to eat something special only to find out the only topping on the pizza was sliced hotdogs.
I don't think the man ate another hotdog the rest of his life.
 
I never had such a dog but it looks good. My youngest daughter was and still is a big hotdog lover. Her favorite dog was a quality beef frank on a steamed bun. That's all. Noting more... not even mustard or ketchup. I tried her favorite dog and got hooked on them. A quality dog on a quality steamed bun will stand on its own. To this day I still do not put mustard of a hotdog. Relish sweet or dill works, sauerkraut, and chili and cheese and maybe some onion are liked but a plain quality dog works great for me.
 
If not... it should be. I grew up next door to a family full of kids. Younger, my age, my sister's age, and older. Good people. We would have neighborhood bbqs and it was almost always hotdogs and burgers. That family of kids always had their hotdogs with ketchup. I tried it once and it was gross. They ate a lot of weird things.
They ate ice cream ever night so I thought they were cool! :)
 
As a kid, I put mustard & ketchup on hotdogs. Then I went to New Jersey and stopped at a Sabrett's hotdog stand. I learned in a hurry that, in some areas there, putting ketchup on a hotdog was not only sacrilege: it may be considered a capital crime. Since that day decades ago, I will not put ketchup on a hotdog and I don't miss it. Mustard only, most days, although there's something to be said about a couple of dogs with mustard, cheese, chili and sauerkraut.
 
I haven't had a hot dog since the early '70s, we saw a film about how they were made and I was done,
I had a great cafeteria at my work and they'd have hot dog days for us, I'd get 2 - with no hot dog, just filled the rolls with all the toppings! Did the same at the hot dog truck when it came to the office complex. Yup.
 
Hot dogs are an essential part of the American truck driver diet :D :thumbsupdroid:. I am convinced that they super charge my immune system to the point that when covid came a long full force back in 2019 my immune system was like hold my beer :p
(For the record my wife thinks we both got it 2018 around October maybe September)
 
Okay, I generally go with the cheap stuff but I'll take a chance on the Sabrett Skinless franks to see what the fuss is all about. I'll have to dodge the much-needed rain to grill them: I prefer them boiled, but the Darling Bride likes hers burnt... and I'm talking blackened, split open and pretty much killed a second time.

NOTE: I once saw a mobile food truck that sold hot dogs... on the side was "Chuck's Chili Dogs"
and under that was the tagline "...only bark at night"

:D
