Which is the superior Hot Dog maker in the United States of America?
Nathan's are best.
>>7366309
they have Bar-S Franks for 88 cents this week, but I'm not sure if they're gonna make me ill
anyone have experience with them?
>>7366309
Not really a fan of all beef.
I prefer oscar mayer
The hotdogs at Costco are a great deal. IIRC, they're $1.50, all-beef (hebrew national I think) and come with a drink.
All "good" hotdogs I see at my supermarket are outrageously priced, like in the range of premium sausages and kielbasa. I guess people just like hotdogs.
>>7366309
Those organic chicken ones from Costco
>>7366331
Don't eat 88 cent hotdogs.
Hebrew National and Ballpark are my favorite brands. I've never had Nathans
>>7366331
Bar-S is garbage, but it has its merits. Particularly, its good for cutting up and eating with a can of baked beans or something.
The stuff you should really avoid is the fake .99 cent american cheese thats made out of straight oil with nothing dairy in it whatsoever.
>>7366339
Just bought a pack of them from costco, all beef Kirkland brand. Same ones they use in the food court, delicious
Do anchovies count as hot dogs?
>>7366345
>but it has its merits. Particularly, its good for cutting up and eating with a can of baked beans or something.
This. I use them for this exact purpose, as well as cut up in mac n cheese or fried rice. I usually get something nicer for actual hot dogs.
>>7366364
Nope, sorry man.
VIENNA BEEF BAYBEE
'CAGO STYLE
>>7366376
Superior Chicago Dog (and best Dog) coming through!
Best I have ever tasted.
>>7366388
Shit, I don't think I've ever seen those around. Or maybe some places do use them, and just don't plaster EISENBERG BEEF on their storefront the way Vienna places do.
What kind of places have them? I might wanna try.
>>7366319
The. Champ. Is. Here.
>>7366400
Lots if places use them. You just gotta look around for that little logo. They aren't like Vienna in your face. More low key, fucking amazing dogs.
If you can find a place that has their 1/2 lb dogs. Pay the price, worth every cent.
Whichever can be roasted on a rake over a fire.
Boar's head.
>>7366309
Not even jewish, but
HEBREW NATIONAL
(all beef)
They are by far the best hot dog I've ever had.
I only have hot dogs like once or twice a year though. Not sure why anyone would make those at home on a regular basis. They aren't cheap per pound unless you get the pork lips no-label brand, in which case you're basically buying ramen.
>>7366309
Boars head, Nathans, vienna
>>7366400
They are the Hot Dogs they sell at Wrigley Field. The Cubs hot dogs are Eisenberg Dogs. Or, they were the last few years I went.
>>7366555
I'm pretty sure the Cubs use Vienna dogs. Switched like 5 or 6 years ago.
>>7366564
Haven't been in years. They are still my top Dog.
Sabrett are great. I used to get the, when I lived in NYC. Haven't seen the, in the Midwest.
>>7366700
Nice superman font
>>7366309
I like nathans, natural casing is so satisfying
>>7366309
>>7366700
Good taste.
why would anyone ever try enough hot dog brands to know which the best is?
>>7366957
>Why would anyone try different food to see what is best?
Don't be retarded.
>>7366388
I've passed them on Elston a bunch of times but I'm not even sure if I've tried one.
Vienna Beef is pretty damn good though.
I didn't realize I don't make hot dogs any more until this thread. I'll get them at a game or something I guess.
Boars Head natural casings were my favorite. Pretty pricey though if I remember correctly. Any other brands make a tasty natural casings dog that isn't so expensive?
Hebrew Nationals, for me.
Bar-S give me the runs everytime I eat them. Nathans,BallPark,and Oscar Meyer(but only if they are pure beef)are the only really exceptable store hotdogs
>>7366309
Hot dogs are a disgusting mockery of decent sausages.
I don't even like feeding them to children or dogs.
>>7367607

Please, invite me over and only be serving hotdogs you pathetic broke ass.
I used to eat Costco hot dogs from their food court, but after buying a 36 pack and having to eat them all over the course of a month or so I started to hate the taste :-(
>>7367644
Then you proceed to act even more autistic in your pathetic attempt to sound alpha.

You are so fucking cringy.
Nathans are disgusting and filled with water.

Plebeians, all of you!
>>7366309
I hate hot dogs. Even Hebrew National tastes like ass to me. Boars Head is good though I don't even know why they smear their product by calling it a hot dog.
I used to live in RI, and have to admit that their Saugy dogs are pretty good.
Any hotdog in a casing > Any casingless dog
No exceptions.

sheeeit, already bought a pack so guess I'll be finding out if they do that to me too
>>7368414
Make sure to give em a good fry on the pan or grill
so far I think my favorites are Kahn's or sugardales
>>7366309
no idea, but its definately no one popular, i say this as someone who genuinely loves hot dogs and would easily felate them all day long if they werent so horrible for you.

/thread
>>7368420
I've always preferred boiled or steamed hot dogs. Frying or grilling them just makes them taste like nitrates.
>>7366345
I loved hot dog dinners as a kid but the thought of eating a hot dog now makes me kinda nauseated.
>>7368808
http://chicago.seriouseats.com/2012/11/sausage-city-a-tour-of-vienna-beefs-factory.html
the assholes and whathaveyou is largely overstated.
>>7366343
nathans has declined in quality recently but they used to be about as good as hebrew national
This is my favorite.
>>7366309
I have this feeling that 'halal' dogs may be better quality, but I am sure I am wrong.
I live in canada, and Maple Leaf meats makes a "natural selection" hot dog, a couple of bucks more that the original, but I get the feeling it might be better for you.
Please tell me if I am wrong. Hotdogs just seem gross, but taste so good.
>>7368892
oh ya, and i like to put some shredded cheddar, melted, with a bit of mayo and franks redhot on mine....i think it is epic
>>7366309
>>7368923
kleine wuddies, kann man essen!
>>7368850
My man, those are so fucking good.
Agreed with other anons on Nathan's.
For what they are and that's not saying much, they're the best.
>>7366388
Mother fucking truth!
Nothing compares.
>>7368996
I'd like to try those out but I've never seen them in NY.
>>7366309
Johnsonville brats. I gave up on hotdogs mostly. I eat a coney or two a few times per month though. It's pretty much an obligation where I live.
>>7368892
natural selection is a meaningless garbage term. dont fall for any of these terms, if the shit is legit you will be able to go to their website or online or whatever and learn about what kind of meat they actually put into it.
brands know that 90% of customers are too retarded to think which is why you see stuff like gluten free stamped on orange juice and corn chips.
Learn about sausage science, talk to your dietition, (never a nutritionist, a dietitian.)
as for actual health, not all hot dogs are made equal and there are some that come in low fat but its very rare. fat is a requisite to make a decent sausage sausagey as it helps link up the meat into a cross stiched matrix of fat and protien. its what seperates a hamburger from a sausage and it's why hot dogs are normally 60-70% fat over protien.
If you want to eat healthy you'd be better off avoiding them or at least putting healthier toppings on them like onions, tomatos, and mustard.
>>7368999
They are kind of hard to find.
Try Google to see if any places near you sell them.
>>7368892
and by onions i mean raw onions.
basically your piority for hot dog sausages should for health be the presence of fat, the presence of nitrates, the presence of hormones and how the animals where kept and fed, the other additives like coloring.
in that exact order.
Fat is bad for you in large quantities which sausages are very good at giving to you. Nitrates are great meat preservatives but demonstrable increase your rate of cancer slightly (about as true as smoking does, which means very, but not at the frequence that smoking would, it's much less devistating but it's still bad for you)
Most meats are going to have nitrates but if you find uncured and unpreserved dogs without them theyre a good find, but don't think you can get away with leaving them in the fridge as long. nitrates are preservatives for a reason.
then the conditions of the animal are important, as hormones and stuff can remain in the meat.
finally additives like food coloring should be avoided. sugar is also a common additive in hot dogs which isn't to great for you but can be avoided. compare natural hot dogs without "additives" buzz word style dogs by ingredient lists. normally it will explain in detail whats happening there, and whether the natural brand loses anything you'd give a fuck about. Natural brands have a tendancy to use the same ingredients just in a different source. like nitrates found naturally instead of synthesized. talk to your dietitian.
>>7366309
Rather not get cancer thanks
>>7369007
ya, I agree. To be honest, I think the only time I bought hot dogs this year were for my camping trips. I always bring hotdogs with white bread on camping trips.
White bread works for grilled cheese, and also for the buns.....
I try and keep it simple when I camp. Hashbrowns and eggs in the morning, grilled cheese for lunch, hotdogs and corn on cob for dinner. Usually a can or 2 of chilli is always available if someone wants to mix it up.
Why am I talking about camping now?
>>7369041
meh, I would gag at that menu selection. not that I dont love me some camping style skillet grease concoctions. but if you don't make with the onions and tomatos it's all basic eater garbage anyway. too many onions, hash browns, peppers if you got em, and tomatos are what go in my hash, normally fried in the grease of whatever we cooked last. drop some eggs and a lid and it's golden.
Hot dogs I have to have rolls of some kind. regular bread is for basic eaters unless you dress your dog like a sandwich, as other toppings like onion and tomato and sourkrout wont fit on a squished piece of bread around a dog.
>>7368850
This and nathans if you are poor
>>7369056
oh, I do put onions and red peppers in my hash. Bacon is cooked before hash
>>7366376
I'm Norwegian and i support this message
>>7369066
what language do they speak in Norway?
>>7369035
Eat one, then you will understand.
>>7366331
They are terrible if you want to eat a hotdog. I bought them myself while poor and hungry, they were so awful I had to chop them up and put them in mac and cheese to be digestible.
>>7369090
American.
I'm a Norwayman btw.
1.Sabrett
2.Boars head
3.Nathans
4.those jew dogs
Bump above iron chef asshole.
>>7366331
I don't recommend the baloney (the casing is weird and seems like plastic), but the Bar-S hot dogs are fine.
Haven't seen them anywhere but jersey, but shickhaus is by far best. Place called Max's by where I was born was GOAT
>>7366309
In the US it's Marathon, makers of Sabrett's, as well as the custom dogs for Papaya King and Katz's.
In Denmark it's pretty much anyone. The hot dogs are so fucking good there. But they're smoked pork instead of garlic flavored beef.
>>7370193
>the casing is weird and seems like plastic
it 100% is plastic
>> 7368130
my man
You know, I never liked hot dogs too much, but I began enjoying hot dogs after adding a pickle spear. The crispiness and tart flavor just adds quite a bit to the whole thing.
Seriously no one mentioned these, these are fucking awesome.
>>7369090
Norwegian. We got 2 types of written. The based bokmål and the shitty nynorsk.
And everybody <40 speaks english fluently. I learned my shit watching Fresh Prince.
In conclution; vienna beef it is.
>>7366448
I like them; they're really fucking salty though.
>>7371583
I think they don't have much market penetration outside of new england but yes they are the best dogs. Kayem's footlong natural casings from the deli counter are manna from heaven.
They bought out Schonland's and if you want an old fashioned frank for 40s-50s food horror dishes they are absolutely unchanged and the authentic american skinless frank.
>>7369101
I've eaten a lot of deli hot dogs that are crafted by people screwing around with their own meat and spice ratios. I'm not going to be impressed by a factory line fast food dog.
>>7370244
gonna have to agree there. five lbs of sabretts is like 110 dollars.
Honestly those dogs have to be made of gold or something because thats absurd. or maybe it was a canadian retailer i dont know. its hard to find a price on the bulk good ones.
anyway having never had any that price alone is pretty intriguing
>>7371904
For 80+ years. In Chicago? OK pal. You know best topkek
>>7371595
Do you think Norwegian would be easy or difficult for a native English speaker to learn?
Tier list, from best to worse:
>Kirkland brand
>Hebrew National
>Nathan's
>Literally every other brand
Anything else is shit.
>>7372378
Many words are similar and all, but the grammar kills. And the pronounce is also hard to learn
>>7368850
Everything I've had from Boar's Head has been absolutely top tier.
>pickles
>anything from the deli
>hummus
>hot dogs
Fucking godly brand.
>>7372926
All they do is repackage stuff made by other manufacturers and put a big mark up on it because idiots like you think you are paying for some "premium" label
Boar's Head is mediocre.
What is everyone comparing it to, Oscar Mayer?
>>7366309
Abe Froman is the sausage king of Chicago.
>>7369005
look at those american automobiles. Think of the engineering involved.

i just realized black people don't eat a lot of hotdogs. also, i fell like a lot should be spelt alot, with no space between the a and the lot.
that is all.

I feel like feel should be spelt like feel.

You've never seen a black person eat a hot dog? Fuck you're stupid.

I live in Stratford, Ontario. We don't have black people here.
I am really stupid for raising my family away from niggers and mudslimes.

Are hot dog, wiener and sausage synonymous words for the same thing in US?
>>7373638
Hot dogs and wieners are both sausages.
Hot dogs are wieners, but not all wieners are hot dogs.
Nobody says sausage to refer to hot dogs.

>>7366339
So much this.
I was just telling my gfs folks about them, they've never had one.
My favorite is either Nathan's or Koegel's, not sure if Koegel's is nationwide or not
>>7366331
Bar-S is complete garbage, last time I had one I had to smother it in ketchup so I couldn't taste the hot dog underneath, and I hate ketchup
>>7371557
I had Ball Parks a long time ago from what I remember the casing of the hot dog was thicker than the casing of an Oscar Mayer which as a child I found off putting but now my thinking is it might actually be good.
>>7366339
So is Costco's an upscale Sam's Club?
Are wieners / hot dogs really bad for our health? Is the UN cancer study real or just some fear mongering bull crap?
>>7368805
when me and my wife were dating and first moved in with each other she would by this shit. for months i didnt understand why the cheese would never melt.. i saw what she was buying... stopped that shit real quick.

You get what you pay for.
If you boil them in beer to cook, they're tolerable.
But then again, you had to spend extra money on beer to make the cheap hot dogs edible, so the cause is lost I suppose
>>7366319
im gonna have to go with this
>>7366339
I go to sams club and I fuckin love their hot dogs. Im pretty sure they use nathans though.
Hot Dogs are pretty good.
>>7367739
All hot dogs are filled with water. It's part of the emulsification.
Hebe's if you can afford them
Nathan's if you can't
Nothing else
