The Hot Dog List

[latenight71]

well, i fell down the rabbit hole again. slow work day on Monday and couldn't stop thinking about the dang hot dog that DogFaced PonySoldier ate and enjoyed so much at a movie theater in St. Martin in 2003! So this is it - the definitive Hot Dog list of almost every popular hot dog brand sold in the U.S. (minus a handful of grocery store brands, which are often the same product branded differently). Feel free to add to the list if you see I've missed any. Cheers!

So many wieners so little time.
I like them with PBR.

[Troutman]

Better yet boil some in PBR

[bbqLuv]

PBR boiled hotdogs. That does flavor PBR but losses the carbonation.
If you like hotdog infused, flat PBR it is worth a try.
The alcohol cooks off, so I add a couple of shots of 151.
Hate to see good PBR go to waste, know what I mean?

[cstrfd4]

Johnsonville does not make hot dogs FYI

[bbqLuv]

Hot Dogs are sausages. So by a stretch of the imagine Johnsonville sorta does make a "Hot Dog".
And they pair well with PBR, brazed in PBR, PBR battered and deep-fried, along with PBR mustard sauce.

[Murdy]

They do.

https://cstore.johnsonville.com/products/beef-hot-dog-5-1.html

I don't think they retail them though

[Santamarina]

Man, I love a good hotdog. So do my young boys. Often times it’s a quick meal for them - throw a couple dogs in the microwave for 30 seconds and they’re eating lunch.

Last week I was gonna have some too, but didn’t want the microwave dog. I started with a couple strips of bacon in a pan. Once it was nearly done I tossed in a few dogs (Kirkland beef are standard stock at our house) to pan fry in the bacon grease.

As all those finished up I threw the buns in the pan too...opened up, so the inside would get a nice bacon grease toast.

Bun, dog, slice of bacon, slice of dill pickle, mustard. BAM...it was delicious!

[ssandy_561]

One of my favorite hot dogs is not on the list Sahlen's from Western New York. I can finally get them in Ohio. So Good!

Sahlen's (NY) - https://sahlen.com/

[ssandy_561]

I guess I can not see correctly. It is on your list.

[ssandy_561]

Now if you want the best single topping for a hot dog in my opinion it would be Weber's (not the grill) Hot Green Tomato Piccalilli Relish.

Weber's Horseradish Mustard is pretty frickin' awesome also.

[Richard Chrz]

Great list that could be fun.

[ecowper]

I didn’t see Mariner’s Dogs on there (by Fletchers)

https://fletchers.com/product/seattle-mariners-beef-franks/

[latenight71]

that was only 1990-1999

[bbqLuv]

Mariners? from which college or university? How do they match up against the Huskies?

[latenight71]

there seems to be some confusion. Cloverdale thinks it it makes the official Mariner hot dog.

[ecowper]

you're right, it did change. I only buy the hotdogs at the stadium, so no idea who makes them. :-)

[smokenoob]

guess I need sommore hats

[au4stree]

I too love a hotdog. One of our favorites here in AL is Conecuh sausage. They’ve recently started selling their hotdogs in grocery stores. They are tasty for sure. I’ve had better dogs from other brands, but for a local product, they aren’t bad.

Another local operation is Zeigler Meats, they can hold their own with national brands, but cannot touch Conecuh sausages/hotdogs.

[Steve R.]

If Conecuh hotdogs are as good as their sausages, they are top notch. I'm going to see if I can find some.

[chudzikb]

My wife, who hates hotdogs based upon the fact that they are processed meat, loves those Feltman's hot dogs. So, a trip to whole foods now and again is made to obtain. They are good.

[Troutman]

Just pick one and cook then eat......

[bbqLuv]

Now I have visions of the promised land, "flowing with milk and honey".

[barelfly]

Dietz and Watson makes some great stuff.

[SammyJ]

I also love a great hot dog,

Maybe a second list,

but what about a good bun that will not split into separate half's

[SheilaAnn]

I seem to recall Vienna brand and S. Rosen’s being pretty good buns.

[Draznnl]

Yes, S. Rosen's poppy seed buns are the ultimate in hot dog wrapping.

[HawkerXP]

I was voted "Best Buns" on my co-ed volleyball team.
