Well, that was a shock. I was looking for an image of frankfurters string together like they use to have in the butcher shops. Nothing showing.
Anyone remember those? Yep Cimpl brand when I was a kid. My Uncle used to get them in his grocery store. I remember the strung furters as well. The thing I remember most is that biting through the skin was a whole lot like biting through a rubber glove.

Nathan's, hands down. If you're located in southern PA, you'll agree that Sechrist Smoked Franks are killer. Sometimes I drive up there just to grab a few pounds of them.
I agree that if a dog is to be presented 'naked', then boiling first and then grilled/roasted is the way to go.
As far as condiments go, I'm pretty much a troglodyte- for years I was a ketchup man, then I discovered Sweet Baby Ray's Honey Barbecue Sauce and I never looked back. For those in the area where they're distributed, the only bun worthy of containing a perfect dog is a Martin's Potato Roll.

Know fat, know flavor. No fat, no flavor.
I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.

In Boston/Cape Cod we go with Maple Leaf's or Star Market house brand, grilled or pan fried with a flat bun.
In VA the wegmans carries the brand from Syracuse, hot dogs and brats in BIG bags, one of my buddies is from that area, he brought them to dove outing and we have been hooked ever since.
And another good option is the kielbasa from Tyson's brand in the bulk pack, enough fat and spice to grill up with them crackling and super taste. Not home made but a good option.

I'm told to avoid the clean, neat ones, and buy from the guy with the cigar ash threatening to fall on the food.

There was a hotdog lunch room in the 1950's called "The Strand Lunch" in New Britain, CT. They served a hotdog with meatsauce that they made with onions and mustard on a roll. It was the best in Town. They kept the split dogs on a frying plate in the front window of the tiny place next to the Strand (movie) Theater. You could see the hot dogs cooking there from the street. Here is a quote from the net about the dog: "Martin Rosol split dogs topped with mustard, onion and the famous Strand Lunch sauce (named after the old Strand Theater in New Britain where they were first served."

Of course, a chunk of potato bologna makes all of the things mentioned divert their eyes in shame.

Yes! Now that is a hot dog!!!!
Used to be every little town in W.Va. and East Ky. had at least 1 place making great slaw dogs.
I've been getting them at Dorsey's Dairy Bar in Pikeville, Ky. since the early '70s. 2 slaw dogs, big bag o' Snyder's Chips and a peanut butter shake, WHOO HOO!
The old Brunswick pool hall in Williamson had the best. My wife and her sister have the chilli recipe and make around a hundred gallons a year for charity sales.
They usually go thru 10 gallons of chilli and 300 fried apple pies in about 2 hours.

Stoysich brats and dogs with Cracovia Sauerkraut & carrots and spicy mustard.
My SIL prefers Oscar Mayer, but she is uncouth barbarian.

This thread is making me hungry. As I said a Nathans would be my 1st choice either smothered in chili and chopped onions, with sweet relish and mustard, or cut up in some baked beans. Hebrew Nationals are pretty top notch as well

The best hot dogs IMO are Koegel's out of Flint MI. And Flint Coneys are the best, that crap Detroit calls a coney is a joke.
