Kid Gleason Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 About to make some hot dogs for dinner, and this time I bought some Vienna's. Usually I buy Best. Really, those are my main two, with ever so often a Hebrew purchase. How about it kids, what is the best in your opinion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, my favorite is SmartDog (yes, they're meatless) but amazing. I think they taste better than the meat ones. Edit to add: Who the heck voted for Oscar Mayer? That's like voting for Pabst Blue Ribbon in a beer poll?!?!? Edited January 30, 2006 by Soxy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I'm gonna have to try those Vienna hot dogs, most are picking those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 It's so hard for me to decide which brand uses the best pig testicles and chicken beaks. Semi-seriously, I don't really have any preference. They all taste basically the same to me. I'm not a big fan of hot dogs, except on Thursdays during summer.

Now Schlitz would be the correct equivalent IMHO. I always like Koegels or Nathans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I never really wanted to try anything other than Oscar Meyer after growing up on them, but a few years ago I grabbed a package of Vienna because they were on sale. I put those things on the grill and never looked back. To me its the closest thing you can have to a ballpark dog because thats what most vendors use. Yummmmmmmy. I usually get their Jumbo dogs too, and let them plump up bigtime on the grill for a while, until they look like they are gonna pop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 LOL, I dont know what the Dave Berg thing is, but i had that guy on my MVP 2005 dynasty team as a utility player and he b****ed so much about his playing time that i had to trade his ass before June.

zach23 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Vienna hotdogs steamed and served on an S. Rosen's poppyseed bun. Put on mustard, onions, relish, tomato, cucumber and Vienna sport peppers. I like to have one of those and also a tamale from Veteran's on Archer and Ashland. Put the tamale on a hotdog bun with all the same toppings. I grew up eating both of these from the carts in Bridgeport. Mike's on Aberdeen and then later MaryAnn on Lyman street. Maryann is still out in the summer. Now I am hungry and need to go downstairs and make some of these in my steamer pot. Good thing I always keep Vienna hotdogs, Veterans tamales, and condiments on hand. I make these at home at least once a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not going to give away the "secret" ingredient that the hot dog stands use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I completely forgot to mention the celery salt. The other trick is to put some celery salt in the water when the hotdogs are being steamed.

Mplssoxfan Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Great thread. I remember reading a bit about Mad Magazine guru William Gaines and hotdogs. Seems that a number of folks in the office were worried because Gaines' everyday lunch date was a trip to the cart outside. They were trying to get him to eat some version of NotDog, so they arranged a taste test with six or seven meat dogs and two meatless ones; this was going to convince him that all dogs had basically the same flavor. He tried all of the dogs, and someone said, "See, they're all the same." Gaines replied, "No they're not!" and proceeded to idnetify every single brand of dog, including the two meatless ones.
