I went looking for them today at WF Stonestown, SF. Couldn’t find anywhere so asked at the desk. The problem was Fork of the Road isn’t obvious on the package since they are changing name to Honest Dogs or something. Refrigerated section. I’ll report back once I’ve tried!

So I have not eaten a hotdog in over 50 years but remember loving these red hotdogs every summer in Maine.

Maybe just me. The New York City dirty water dog just do not taste as good as I remember.
I wonder if hot dog quality went down, or my memory is more positive than its reality.

I just reached out… we’ll see if/what the response is.

Here are photos. With yellow mustard, relish, kewpie, thin red onions, excellent. Some of their packages says Honest Dogs, others like this. Used brioche split top buns. Since I can’t eat 5 hot dogs in 4 days, I froze some.

Same ingredients, same caloric content. Mighty Good Dogs are longer, thinner (will stick out the end of a standard bun, I think) and have natural sheep casing. Honest dogs are a bit plumper, shorter, no casing listed on the package. Both say they are pasture-raised uncured beef hot dogs.
Different serving suggestions, too: Mighty Good Dogs - Saute (splash of water in the pan), Grill. Honest Dogs - slice into coins and add to m&c, wrap in dough and bake, cut into chunks and skewer with pineapple and red peppers w/bbq sauce for dipping.
I like a plumper dog and for some reason I like a dog that doesn’t stick out of the bun??? I dunno why, but I do.
Ingredients list is impressive: Pasture raised beef, water, Contains 2% or less of the following: onion, garlic, mustard, paprika, celery powder, vinegar, salt, sugar, Extractives of paprika, allspice, coriander, nutmeg, red pepper, rosemary.

100 percent with you. Best I’ve had:Von Ruden’s meats, Cashton, WI. Natural snap, perfectly made. Ate enough gristle bombs in my life. Pay for better.

I just went to get some hot dogs today and realize there are many uncured hot dogs. I assume this is due to the concern for the cured hot dog (or any meat) can be carcinogenic.
Anyway, how do you people like cured vs uncured hot dogs? I just bought some uncured hot dogs. Are you people buying cured or uncured?
I don’t think I taste any difference but that could be due to my (lack) of taste buds too.
The hippie emporium I shop at has organic and natural meats for the most part, even the sausage department.
I have tried the Beelers yet but as I said upstream their other products are A-1.
My favorite Miller’s are uncured.

Mine too. I just bought some organic uncured hot dogs last night. Taste pretty good to me.
Uncured mostly, yet during the Pandemic with some of the shortages Cured was the only option.

I read somewhere that uncured aren’t healthier than cured.

Do you remember the argument? is it based on that hot dogs are themselves unhealthy, so there are not large differences? (like of like organic tobacco argument)

Both have nitrites - the “uncured” kind usually have them in the form of celery powder or juice vs artificial.
So you’re not actually avoiding nitrites in the uncured kind, which is what many people think because “un-“ would imply the opposite of.

Ah. Thanks. Then this is just being silly then. Oh well. I am eating silly hot dogs now (taste good though).
