Hot Dog!

This is great! I think hot dogs are the perfect food. Especially like the Chicago Dog. When one goes to Chicago, this is a staple made with Vienna Beef Franks. The Dodger and Doyer dogs are (or were) a pure pork frank made in LA by a company called Farmer John. Farmer John is now owned by Smithfield which is now owned by a Chinese company.

Chili, mustard, onions, that's it.

I like Chi-town dogs. Also like 'em plain with just bun, dog and mustard. I love chili dogs with mustard, cheese and onions, too.

That Baltimore dog sure looks good!

I'm with Dirty Harry. Mustard, relish, onions. Done. You could throw some chili and cheese on there too if you wanna, but no ING ketchup!

What is fascination with ketchup? I like Heinz or Whataburger Spicy ketchup on my fries or onion rings, but that's it!

I also like a brat with mustard, grilled onions and grilled Bavarian style kraut!

It's too bad I can't eat any of that sh*t anymore.

There's several ways I fix a hotdog. Depends on what we have in the fridge. The dodger style is usually what I go for unless it's a chili dog. Usually don't put lettuce on my hotdogs.
And I like both ketchup and mustard on it but mustard only will work if I'm in a hurry.

False!

A Seattle dog is a polish sausage grilled after being split down the middle then stuffed with cream cheese and grilled onions.

Ketchup on hotdogs is a regional thing. I grew up (kind of) in So Cal where it was pretty common. Other places I have lived were rather apathetic to what one garnishes their hotdog with. When I lived in Chicago, it was not done partly due to the tomato chunks or slices on the dogs there.

As long as the hotdog is made with beef or pork, I am OK. I don’t like hotdogs made with chicken. They don’t have the “bite” of pork or beef franks. My favorite

As to size … food scientists will say that the wider the frank, the more flavor will hit one’s tastebuds. Meaning a regular or the longer style “bun length” will not present as much flavor as a “jumbo”/or wider frank.

Lastly … to me, I like hotdogs off the grill best. I like getting the casing to have a crisp bite. Next would be pan fried and then boiled. All to do with getting the casing to have the right bite. Microwaving is my least favorite but possibly the way I do it most because of convenience.

I'm a purist also. Bun, dog, mustard. Done.

Also, how do they get crinkle fries to stick to a hot dog??
