Some onion sauces use actual ketchup, and some just use tomato or tomato sauce. Is onion sauce ok on hot dogs? Does no ketchup apply to other sausages? I love grilled Brats with curry ketchup.

Best of luck with that! There are sometimes roadway spots to sit down nearby.

King Corn was a fantastic doc as well as the sequel, Big River. We are what we eat!

The only ticket I have found so far is for both tonight and tomorrow. $303. Ouch.
I may just drive up tomorrow and see what I can scare up at the gates around 5pm.

I kept scrolling down expecting to find a DC Half Smoke.
It did not make the cut.
Sadness.

Being 14 is not necessarily a bad thing.
Vermont, our 14th state, is pretty darn good.
Home of Ben & Jerry’s after all.

I still pine for the OPS footlongs (Miller’s) with the footlong bun. Childhood memories stuck in the brain.

A $29 hot dog!? What?
I think this requires a link to Travolta and the $5 milk shake from way back in the day.

This is interesting. Lots of obscure brands instead of the same old same old.
The article talks about Sabrett’s having natural casings and being “tied off” but the picture of a package of Sabrett’s says “skinless” and that’s the way they come in the pack, because I’ve bought them many times. The only place I’ve ever been able to purchase a “rope” of hot dogs in in a now-closed deli. They also didn’t mention Boar’s Head, which does make casing hot dogs, or Feltman’s, which I managed to buy once and which were delicious. Many of the brands in the article are unknown to me. Some will remain so.

Nathans did not get the love in this taste test, (9th out of 18) which is interesting. They usually are in the top quintile, or so it seems. Not surprised to see Sabrett’s take the win, they are pretty popular. Odd to see Ball Park in 5th.
Vegan dogs placed 12th, 16th and 18th out of 18 dogs which is not a huge surprise.
Now I have to do a little research and find out if Ratelli’s Round Dogs are sold anywhere near me! LOL!
My current favorite dog is Aidell’s Andouille (Pork), it is more of a sausage than a hot dog but it is in the same family tree, so to speak. Nice snap and great flavor.

Something I didn’t realize: my beloved Chicago Vienna dogs sold in the supermarket are SKINLESS!!
Sometimes you can find the natural casing ones in SOME supermarkets, but mostly, no. You have to go to the factory store to get those. My next trip in, I probably will. The skinless ones do fine, and I still like them better than Hebrew National (which is a perfectly serviceable kosher-style dog), but I miss the ‘snap’.

I humbly submit that a hotdog is merely a sausage served in a form-following bun, whether frank (furter), bock, brat, andouille, chorizo, etc.
Considering how shi÷÷y most things marketed as hot dogs are, sausages falling outside that niche should be wearing badges of honor, IMO.

Agree This question has-been asked a million times .ls a hot dog a sandwich? No . The bun is connected. I like my frankfurter no bun with mustard and sauerkraut. Knife and fork to eat .

Again, one of the great dilemmas in life continues to confound me.
One hot dog is never quite enough, but two is just a bit too much.

This is why every decent hot dog joint I know (and from your picture, that looks to be a decent one) will do a double dog. Two franks, one bun, as the kids say.
OR you may have the option of a Jumbo dog, a frankfurter that is more Polish sausage / Bratwurst sized.
