I want every red blooded male to admit their dogs ! O:K: , O:K: if my play on words is so poor that you don,t see whats coming I would like all Barbequers to admit that the lowly hot dog is the basis for all backyard and tailgate cuisine .
Tofu doggers and filet mignon shishkebabers need not apply !

Whats your favourite grilling hot dog ? I,m not talking about any of those pallid , steamed or worst yet boiled, extruded papdogs I want to hear loud and clear what kinda canines do you throw on your grill ? I will allow a little bit of cheating cause in truth "Thorn apple Valley" has these sausage dogs that are to die for !
(and you proabably wii if bacteria counts bother you ! L:O:L)

Redskins do it for me . A few of those hearty crimson crusaders on my plate and I,m a happy man . Worse part is ? They sell for more than some cuts of steak where you can get them and they aren,t for sale within fifty miles of my house ! I make do with Schneiders big grilling dogs and while they are good they just don,t cut the mustard . L:O:L
 
in central ny-

leigh@stiegerwalds-won best in america once-also hoffman just as good

and some of the best italian sasauge on the planet-
 
You guys are not playing fair ! No Italian sausage allowed ! no backyard grill is going to stand up against a good carnival sausage smothered in peppers and onions . Play nice or I,ll tell you about the red deer venison smoked meat I had for lunch . . Dogs only .
 
Oddly enough, one of my distant relatives, Charles Feltman, is generally credited with the invention of the hot dog. I am not too picky with my dogs. One brand that I like is Miller's (I think)
 
I'm an amateur, but believe Kevin, that the pursuit of the Noble Hotdog is a Holy Endeavor. At the bottom of the hill in Santa Cruz, Ca, from UCSC, there is a place that sold super hotdogs. They used some eastern dog. If you ordered chilli cheese you'd get chilli cheese piled high with onions and peppers, mustards and savory sauces, tomatos and pickles too.
There is a point to making a pig out of one's self, to eat joyfully. Heartily.
It is fun and happy. It makes people smile and laugh at themselves. There is something so simple and joyous about being hungry and eating a hotdog or hamburger or even peanut butter sandwich that is greater than the words describing the event.

Celebrate life. Give the kid a squeeze. Stuff a big grilled dog in your snoot and mush the bun in.
You know God loves to see us happy and delighted, content and not angry or in conflict. Pursuing the Noble Dog is Heaven Sent.

I never heard of millers .Though I,ve drunk a couple !
 
Zweigels hotdogs from Rochester, NY. I personally like the white-hots, but they all rock.

I'm going to write down every recomendation for dogs this thread provides. I'll be in dog heaven soon.

Everyone who has ever lived in Chicago will vote for VIENNA hot dogs, the choice of every cordon bleu hot dog vendor in the City.

Celery salt is required as a basic, in addition to mustard, relish, sliced tomato, chopped onion, green peppers, and steamed bun. Fries should be piled on top of the dog in the (plastic only) basket. One-quarter length-wise pickle is included.

Chili must be offered as an additional (not alternate) topping.

The finer hot dog joints have mercenaries posted to "hurt" anyone who puts ketchup on a hot dog in Chicago.


In Wisconsin, the bratwurst, by Johnson, reigns supreme.

Are the white hots white hot ? You have definitely peaked my interest .

Kismet ?The only Viennas up here come in a jar . They are a kind of cocktail frank . The celery salt idea intrigues me.
I better look out for those mercenaries . I,m waiting for them to come out with a ketchup flavoured dog . Out of respect for Chicagoans and my neck I,ll refrain from that sauce when visiting their burg .
 
They are a white wurst style hot-dog. They arent spicey. In Upstate NY,
all hot dogs are called "hots". I checked Zweigle's website, and unfortunately
it's under reconstruction, or I'd post a link.
I have corrected my spelling error in this post, btw.

Kismet, I frequently grill Johnson's Stadium Brats when tailgating DC United matches at RFK Stadium.
Definitely my second favorite, and alot easier to get than the regionally distributed Zweigle's.
Wegman's Markets (also Rochester NY based) are beginning to pop up in these parts, so my Zweigle's fixes are getting more frequent now.

I have absolutely no idea where he gets them from, but my buddy's Uncle-in-law cooks up these hotdogs that he calles "214's". I don't know what they are, but my God they are the best hotdog I have ever had. "No beaks, no claws." He always says. Have a couple of those babies with his mysterious "tater soup" and wash it down with an ice cold beer...Man, a summer time favorite:)

Red Flower, the kids, and I had a very interesting hot dog soup in a Korean restaurant in Beijing. :D
 
I don't know if it's just here in nearby Tijuana, I have'nt seen it anywhere else, but they wrap bacon around the hotdog and cook it....mmmmmm bacon....

214s = 2 parts ankle 1 part hide and 4 parts horn L:O:L. That tater soup sounds interesting .
 
The Pacific Northwest is not known for its hot dogs. That said, if one looks around enough, one can find Boar's Head dogs which are definitely not bad. The seasoning is heavy on the garlic -- which I like -- and the natural casings provide the correct snap when bitten through. I personally prefer potato buns but purists may scoff at this. Boiling is fine for these, as grilling tends to overpower their normal taste.

No toppings are necessary; these dogs can stand on their own. One can never go wrong with mustard, although it should be stone ground. Using that neon yellow crap in my household is not tolerated and I will quite literally throw it away if I see it. Sauerkraut and diced onions are my preferance.

Unfortunately, they are quite expensive and can't always be accomodated by my budget. Cheaper dogs require more toppings. Chili is fine. I've become partial to the "everything but the kitchen sink" approach to hot dog toppings in recent years, although I still don't think that ketchup belongs anywhere near a hot dog.

Street vendors on the east coast seemed to serve them up often with tomato sauce, tiny boiled potatoes, green peppers and onions cut thick in the past; I'm not sure if this is done anymore, but I also consider this a good (if messy) approach.
 
It's all about the mustards...and as Dave said, that neon yellow paste ain't included.

Sometimes as an added treat, I will grill toast the buns with butter...I can almost hear my arteries hardening.
