    Hot Dog poll

    Just a sausage and mustard or plenty of toppings (please detail)?

    Me, just bread, sausage, mustard and Tabasco.

    Re: Hot Dog poll

    First of all, it has to be a real hot dog with natural casing. I hate skinless!

    Sometimes I like it on a bun with just mustard.

    I LOVE New York System Wieners "all the way" (bun, wiener, meat sauce, onions, celery salt and mustard).



    Chili dogs are awesome, too!

    I also like them cut up into baked beans- franks and beans- like my grampa used to make me.

    Re: Hot Dog poll

    Me, I've always been a burger guy when it comes to going out of the house.

    But I do love a homemade hot dog, as simple as it gets. A nice wiener, cooked or baked, fresh bun and Heinz yellow mustard seasoned with Tabasco.

    Brazilians eat tons of hot dogs and the toppings vary highly but me, I prefer the plain old sausage and bun.

    There's a Brazilian hotdog place opening up near me in a couple weeks. Looking at the menu, I'm super excited to try them.

    Personally, I prefer an all-beef dog, toppings depend on my mood. Sometimes just mustard, sometimes dragged through the garden / pantry / fridge.
    One of the best |I had was wrapped in cheese and bacon, deep fried and topped with habanero relish.

    Re: Hot Dog poll

    I actually spent three of my college summers working in a hot dog factory. We made a premium brand dog that are still around today (although under a different owner - but they maintain the high quality. I eat way too many hot dogs. I check ingredients pretty closely and am fussy about brands, but there is nothing like a good grilled hot dog. Also, they have to be on New England hot dog rolls - not that other side-opening cr@p!I do like Nathan's hot dogs - but only when they are cooked at Nathan's.

    I'd prefer a good burger over a hot dog, but sometimes want something different.

    Re: Hot Dog poll

    Chopped onions, mustard on a beef hot dog on a wheat bun, from which I pinch away half the bread. I hate a big bread bun.

    homemade chili too sometimes.

    Re: Hot Dog poll

    Usually once a week I cook hot dogs for my bride and I. I use kosher beef dogs, and then wrap them in bacon, cooked on the grill when the weather allows, otherwise in a skillet. I like mine plain, (with cheese), my bride adds ketchup!

    Re: Hot Dog poll

    Those of us who have spent time in Germany know that the Germans are the kings of sausage. I'm fortunate to have a World Market nearby where I can purchase a limited number of selections from Meica, one of the top sausage producers in the country, having made sausages since 1911. With names only a German can enjoy (but the sausages anyone can!): Bratmaxe, Snibbels, and yes, Wieners!

    Lord, don't you know it. Currywurst from Berlin is my favorite of all time. But for everyday wieners, I loved best those you'd get on the street. I'd be cold cold outside, and they'd serve them hot on a crusty roll, with a patina of butter. There was nothing like that I ever had. Of course, I like everything but blood sausage.

    Re: Hot Dog poll

    This thread is killing me. I used to love hot dogs, but a combination of My Dread Disease and plain old aging has rendered my GI system incapable of dealing with them.

    The best hot dog I ever had was a quarter pound affair sold by the caterers at the Nashville Convention Center. I was there covering Summer NAMM for EQ magazine, and ate one for lunch every day I was there.

    Oh man... GI affliction is a pain... I love beans but can’t even stare at them without having a severe indigestion. Fortunately, sandwiches are ok as long as they don’t have Chili in them.

    The worst (wurst) smelling stuff was liverwurst before it got smoked.

    Re: Hot Dog poll

    It was while my dad was stationed in Wiesbaden, Germany, that we visited Berlin & I got my first taste of knackwurst (or knockwurst) & hot mustard. This was lost to me for many years until I discovered them for sale at a local Russian market in my town. They call them garlic sausage, or sardely

    Re: Hot Dog poll

    Germans are pretty good at mustard preparations. I think I'd take a German mustard over French, but that's just personal taste and bias. The store where I buy my frankfurters also carries a terrific hot mustard. I've taken to keeping a loaf of German sourdough bread on hand, and I can make a snack of just a slab of bread and a slather of mustard!

    I liked it as a change of rockabilly pace on In Through the Out Door. I can't believe they played it at Knebworth, though!

    ooo, is that a hot mustard? I am intrigued. I love Gulden's Spicy Brown.

    Yes, and it seems that the guys are dropping by more often too. If everyone starts posting a little bit more, the forum will be more attractive to new members who actually want to see new contents.

    Nice avatar btw!

    Zweigles pop-open or stay home. White or red, don't matter.

    Additionally, anyone who puts ketchup on a hot dog is a commie rat.

    I've been called that before... The only thing I put on hot dogs (on the rare times when I do) is either ketchup or some pork and beans.

    Re: Hot Dog poll

    i'm craving a sausage with onions and peppers and spicy mustard. We used to have a guy outside of our Home Depot, the Sausage King. He did so well that he opened a brick and mortar store on Main Street.

    He got scammed by a city worker who claimed that City Hall would pay their tab, as the renovation of the sidewalks downtown was a multi-year project. They ran up a tab of over 80k and when the owner went to ask for remittance, he got stiffed, being told it was never authorized. The restaurant closed shortly afterwards and has been sitting idle for quite a few years now.
