TVWGG Hot Dog Taste-Off

[EricV.]

This thread caused me to order some sport peppers, Lol!

I am going to have to try this recipe.

Growing up, the dirty water dog with mustard and sauerkraut was pure hot dog heaven.

How things change.

Alpine was (still is?) the official hot dog of the San Francisco Giants.

As long as we're talking baseball hot dogs, I also like a good Dodger Dog.

Also, a good hot dog at Fenway Park! I like the split top buns.

And my favorite Oakland A's used to have a decent Coliseum Dog back in the day. Don't get all up in my face about the ketchup!

I did not know that. Thanks….

I did get thrown by the Kershaw jersey…..

Good 'dogs can be heated in a whole lotta different ways. And me.... I'm one of the ketchup heathens.

@Chris Allingham , wish I had the opportunity to introduce you to Von Hanson's (local butcher shop chain) old fashioned natural casing weiners. Casing have a good snap, a fairly find grind, good meats and well seasoned.

A couple years ago I was obsessed with making a Chicago dog. I bought all the stuff, neon relish, sport peppers, etc. even got poppy seed rolls. Guess what, I didn’t like it (really wanted to)…too much going on. Guess I’m just a sauerkraut and mustard guy. My favs are Black Bear brand sold by our local ShopRite supermarkets.
I like Sabrett’s and Nathan’s too

You’ll probably like Boars Head dogs too.

I’m a fan of Boar’s Head cooked bratwurst.

I found these at Sprouts.

It probably is wrong but they were expensive and good. Some You Tube guy was raving about Wagu Hot Dogs so I had to try it. About $8 if I remember correctly.

You can't trust anyone with a YouTube channel!

You rich! I can get a 24 pack of Nathan’s at Sam’s for that price.

Dirty Harry wouldn't pay that much! That was a one time deal, Wagu hot dogs just seems like a waste. Unless its the snout, ears and lips from a Wagu cow?

What you just posted is THE reason I like a kosher dog. No snout, asp, hoofs, ears or other body parts. I don’t think I’d buy wagu anything. I’m a Luddite.

I was told hot dogs are the trash parts thrown together, I didn't know some actually use real meat. Potted meat in a can, as a kid I thought that was cat food. If it is still made I am scared to know what goes in there.

I just bought these two days ago. They might be the best available in the PA/NJ area.

When you consider the cost of cheap hot dogs being almost as low as $1 per pound, you wonder what they are made from. You can not buy any meat, cereal or bread for that price.

You should read up on kosher food products. We try to buy kosher products as much as we can due to usually better quality ingredients. I’m not saying that all kosher products are healthy. But their ingredients are more natural and clean.

I guess as a kid I was super gullible, one guy told me Dachshunds were raised to make hot dogs. He said when his dog got bigger they would have to make hot dogs out of him.

I’m watching the 2023 Nathan’s hot dog eating contest. I don’t want to fan the flames of ketchup hatred, but when Nathan’s Famous shows ketchup in their television commercials, it’s official—ketchup on hot dogs is acceptable.

 

[Ralph]

Well, New Yorkers also think that clam chowder should be tomato-based, so I'm questioning their "ketchup on hot dogs" point of view.
