Hot Dogs

In Chicago, and as a kid, I used to watch my cousin order a Dog with only Mustard.

Sure, fine and dandy, I tried it. Without mustard, all is lost! LOL

My father much prefers Oscar Meyer Angus Beef to the likes of Nathans, and Hebrew National in the Stupidmarkets. And I have to agree, but that's not saying much.

Chicago as far as some Hot Dog Mecca, trust that 95% of Dog Joints at current day are selling total CaCa.
And $7-$9 for 2 Tube Steaks, and no Fries? I'll pass.
 
Currently cooking up a batch of chili for tonight`s tubesteak fest....(choice of Sabrett`s, Nathan`s, or Johnsonville jalapeno & cheddar brats).
Beverages will be: Guiness, Yuengling Black & Tan, and Hoegarden.
Should be a good night.....
 
After working out yesterday, I stopped at Costco and had one of their hot-dogs. It's not the greatest, choices are slim here and I love them. Miss the chopped onion dispenser though. Even thought about taking my own onions. Once I bought the Costco sized pack of hot-dogs so I could have them at home. They were horrible and lasted forever till they went bad.

I bought hot-links this time. Looking forward to lunch. My favorite mustard is Inglehoffer Dijon Stone Ground Mustard. Good stuff!

Gotta ask are they $1.50 with a drink like on the mainland?
 
I make what my Mrs. calls Heart Attack on a Bun.....take a 1/4 lb dog, split, put cheese in the middle and wrap in thin sliced bacon....in the deep fryer they go!! Cook till the bacon is done and dog is hot......
 
I worked in a meat market in the mid 60s while in high school. We sold Alpine hot dogs - made locally. They were the kind with the skin on, and still attached to each other. They weren't cooked properly until they split the skin.
 
Been enjoying Snake River Farms American Wagyu Beef hotdogs recently... they don't seem to trigger gout the way some other hotdogs do, and they are damned tasty. Local supermarket has been carrying them, hope that continues.

For those especially keen on digestive system distress, I recommend some provender commonly sold by street cart vendors in Mexico known as "Bimbo Dogs." It consists of a slice of white bread cradling a hot dog swathed in an undercooked slice of bacon that's been sitting out in the blistering Mexican sun for hours.

Trust me when I say your colon will never forgive you.
 
My favorite hot dog to date is a "Glazier" dog from a butcher in upstate NY. Poppy natural skins and spicy, on a grilled and garlic-buttered New England style bun, a mix of brown and ghost pepper mustards, and chopped vidalia.

Some purists claim boiling (steaming, actually) is the correct way to cook a hot dog.
I prefer deep frying. When doing it at home I’ll wait until the oil gets near the end of its safe/useful life before cooking any meats in it, then pitch it.
Sahlen’s - when they can be found in this part of the country - is my favorite non-Kosher brand when I’m feeling brave. The (expensive, like all their stuff) Boar’s Head once won a contest for best-tasting on either some cooking show or in a magazine, but I wasn’t impressed.
And, like Dirty Harry said: You never put ketchup on a hot dog.

Bimbo Dogs

Lest anyone get the (perhaps) wrong idea, it might help to know that Bimbo is the name of a large Mexican-headquartered maker of bread products.

So the same thing made in the U.S. might be called a "Wonder Dog". Well, maybe not.
