Nat'l 'Hot Dog' day ………..
 

well since today is National Hot Dog day I'll be grilling tonight what I consider to be the best dog out there …………..

Natural Casing Hot Dogs, Sausage, and Specialty Meat Products | Zweigle's | Rochester NY

What are your favorites ?

There are no bad hot dogs, some are just better than others. :D

Chili, Mustard and very light onion. Never, Never, Never Catchup

Guess that settles the question of what's for dinner tonight. We have a good local brand, Hempler.http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...psesih1irn.jpg

you're absolutely right, only ketchup will do!http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...psgnkij2lw.png

Many hot dog stands in the Chicago area refuse to put ketchup on their dogs even if you request it. They'll give you some packets to use for your fries and you can sneak it on if you insist, but ketchup has no place on a Chicago style dog!

Surprise, surprise . . . . the Costco - Kirkland Brand - all beef hot dogs are really good. Probably better than any "grocery store" brand I've ever tried.

I guess they are the same as those sold in the "food place" in the Costco stores.

And, you can serve them with or without catsup or even ketchup.

If it's not on this, it doesn't belong. :no:

Maybe in Chicago, but not in Fenway Pahk,where they do use ketchup but not all those vegetables!http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...psmyrs0l8j.jpg

Fenway? What do they know from Hot Dogs? There aren't even poppy seeds on the bun. :scratch2:

"All those vegetables" are the acceptable options - one need not use them all.
