Hot Dogs

What is all this ****??? Hot Dogs means a dirty water dog from one of those corner/park carts. And yes, like most things, we in NYC do it best. Certain things do not need to be upgraded with organic/prime meats, heirloom phucking tomatoes and the like. This pics make me throw up the same way the thought of a Kobe/shirt ribs burger does, got that crap out of here!

I really like those Blinski's natural hot dogs. They taste better than your typical nitrate-loaded dogs.

Where I grew up in NJ, there was a type of hot dog (odoreater, where are ya, bro?) called an Italian. Jimmy Buff's made it famous. You deep fry a hot dog in like fifty-year old oil, not fast and hard, but a slow simmer. You slap it on a quarter-round of pizza bread, and cover with deep fried potatoes, onions, and peppers. Serve with mustard and ketchup. Mindblowing.

A few of my cousins live in PA, and they have two types of regional dogs -- one has a pickle spear, diced onions and mustard, and comes with a shallow-fried dog, the other 'chili sauce' which is like a very thin chili, with diced onions and mustard over a flat grilled dog. If you get there right during lunch they will be a little browned on two sides. Just insane good. These are truly the best hotdogs I can imagine. Whenever they have those shows on about hotdogs, I watch to see if they will talk about them, but they never do. Jimmy Buffs was once though.

I'd like to try a Chicago dog, but that relish is sick. In a bad way. Had many NYC dogs from pushcarts, yeah, they're alright, but those PA dogs are unreal.

I'm hungry now.

this thread is making me hungary, and I just had lunch.

Ikea Sydney sells hotdogs for $1, beat that

armour hot dogs at football/baseball games with a little mustard= pure bliss.

That sounds delicious. The "hot dogs" in France are half a baguette with two frankfurters and tons of grated gruyere on top, they put it in the oven for a couple minutes to melt the gruyere and you eat it with dijon and ketchup - they don't have any of the other toppings (sauerkraut, relish, etc...). It's not bad

As a little kid my first trip to Europe included an obligatory stay in Paris where my folks took my sister out to dinner to a Michelin place (Le Saire?) just because she was taking French in school ! My little brother & I were left to fend for ourselves at the little bistro-like spot next to the hotel. Not speaking a word of French we looked around and saw someone eating hot dogs! They were served on a baguette, but who cared - we wouldn't starve! We each ordered 'deaux hot dog' and breathed a sigh of relief. The dogs arrived and we gulped - it seems that a single order consisted of 2 dogs on a baguette. That means my order of 'deaux hot dog' meant I got four. It was at this point that I discovered the 'weird melted french cheese' aspect of the dish. Of course neither of us got close to finishing one of these things...

I was watching the food network Saturday morning and they had a segment on Jimmy Buff's. The Italian looked delicious. It was originally made by the founder's wife, and served during his weekly poker game.

Sounds like a fun experience for kids. I love these things if the baguette is nice and fresh - but they are pretty big

I've long since gotten over my melted-foreign cheese phobia and often wonder just how much I'd like these now (still probably couldn't finish a double order) ....

We used to go to this place every day in high school. Nothing like Two dogs all the way, cheeseburger all the way, and fries all the way.

Inspired by this post, I decided to have exactly that for lunch just a min ago, except mine didn't have tomatoes (it was supposed to ). For the record though, I'll eat pretty much any of the dogs in this thread. A simple hot dog with ketchup and mustard is good with me, or a loaded down brat, or deep fried dog, or anything else in between. I really like hot dogs.

Yocco's, Lehigh Valley's finest.

One of the best hot dogs I ever had was a Wahoo Weiner from Wahoo, NB. Some might remember when Letterman had his 'home office' there. They were amazing, but they are no longer sold by mail order.

A couple of years ago I became intrigued w/ a Berkley establishment (Top Dog?) and did some initial research which I have since misplaced - any info appreciated....

This thread is killing me. I have a serious hunger for a Chicago dog right now. Grrrrrr. I can do Shake Shack, but don't want to deal with the lines. If only I could find Vienna beef dogs, sport peppers, the right relish, celery salt, and poppy seed buns in the grocery stores here. Not likely.

Hebrew National or Kosher best would be a ok substitute for Vienna Beef. As for the sport peppers, You could probably substitute mild pickled Jalepenos from the mexican grocery section.
