Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation The Best Frank?

Wiener, frankfurter, hot dog, tube steak, what do you like best?

I'm enjoying a Ballpark on whole wheat bread with yellow mustard, two slices of tomato.

Hebrew national or Costco brand is what I always buy.

Boars Head, all beef, natural casing.

Elk or venison bratwurst....

Buying chemical BS meats from the store is now beneath me and it tastes nasty too after not eating it for a while. You can taste the cancer...

Yeah, I'm rude.. grin...

Linguica!

Nathans or Hebrew National. Bun length.
Mustard and dill relish, sometimes sauerkraut, NEVER KETCHUP.

This. Once and a while a chili dog.

Kogel's Viennas. Accessorize to your hearts content. (I prefer Flint style coney sauce, onions and mustard)

Whatever is handy.


I do not prefer eating ground up chicken bones....but will if i have to.


Mustard and ketchup mostly.

Not a weiner fan.


My wife on the other hand....

Just don’t boil them.

This space reserved for math man and 5sdad.












.

Velveeta is a statistical impossibility.


My house parties are not well attended.



......MathMan.

You ever cut them in half and broil them?


Thats how mom always cooked them.



I like a boiled hot dog.

Don’t you like catsoup on them too? 😁

Yes I do.

Hunts Ketchup.


None of that Heinz schit.

Commercially made, Vienna All-Beef.

Locally, Stoyisch.

I like 'em Chicago-style, but will go with just sauerkraut and brown mustard if I'm in a hurry.

I do like to drizzle the juice from a sport pepper on them, but don't care to actually eat a sport pepper.

Boars head beef franks.

Use to be what you guys are saying......till I found..... https://www.safeway.com/shop/product-details.960560513.html ......about a buck a dog , found them about 7 months ago..ran into a fellow I know he said the same thing. Dam good eats! 100% beef and nothing else.

Both highly over rated.

Eckrich Skinless Smoked Sausage grilled, pan fried, or broiled smokin’ hot; a really fresh and soft hoagie roll split lengthwise, still warm would be best; and a bunch of mustard.

Eckrich, pffft! Goes well with that weak ass "beer" you love.

It also goes good with Velveeta Shells & Cheese.

I usually buy Dietz & Watson New York style natural casing franks. That's the only "deli style" frank I can get at my local Kroger. Otherwise I'll get Hebrew National or Nathan's if that's all they have.

I serve with Edmund Fallot dijon mustard and sweet relish.

Not all-beef.

If this post didn't put a stop the chitty dogs nothing well....let's circle around boys...

Holy chit Batman!

$11.50 for 2 pound! $5.75/# for Puss Puppies?

Can buy a Strip primal for less than that.
Ribeye primals aren't much over that..

Lips, peckers and azzholes are all the same whether beef, chicken or pork.

I like Costco beef hotdogs.

F*ck all “Franks” or wieners. They are all elongated Vienna sausages. If I have a hotdog bun, I’ll Always fill it with some kind of grilled/smoked spicy/Cajun sausage. There is no alternative for me

If you live near one or can have them delivered- Von Hansen's old-fashioned or 1/4lb all-beefs are the best I know of. Apparently these are what hotdogs are supposed to taste like... to me they beat Ted's, Nathans, Hebrews etc. Until I discovered the Von Hanson's I never thought I would like / look forward to eating hotdogs as an adult. Though the Boar's head mentioned above... haven't had them but I have never been disappointed by any of their products. Dang, now I need to do a side-by-side cookoff next weekend for comparison!

Famous Bright Leaf Hot Dogs from Carolina Packers.

That stuff aint bad.


Especially with a little Sriracha.

Love them.

Don't ever visit them. Could ruin your Hot Dog experience.

These ? https://shopvonhansons.com/product/old-fashioned-skin-on-weiners/

.

None do you have any clue what’s in them?
Now homemade brats I can do and like

I've seen them made. I cut trim that went into them. I eat them all the time. Guys in the plant (so I'm told) would sneak some from the line, conceal them in the pouch on their hooded sweatshirts (real hooded sweatshirts - pull-overs - not the ridiculous imitations that zip), and break off pieces to eat. Sometimes they would even cook them in the knife sterilizers.

Costco/Kirkland, Deitz & Watson or Berks Jalapeno Cheddar dogs.

Aye, those be them @atvalaska.

I have had none better. Not a basic hotdog, but a jalapeno cheddar sausage. Simmer until hot, then finish over charcoal or a wood fire. Spicy mustard. Can't be beat.

Opa's Jalapeno Cheddar Sausage link

Any kind, anywhere, even gas station "roller" dogs. Given druthers, I'll take a natural casing pork dog every time, grilled. On a steamed bun with mustard. Optional condiments include relish or 'kraut. Simple is better. None of those "Chicago" dog piles of stuff designed to hide the dog.

I don't care what meat they put in 'em. Meat is meat.

My wife's a Rhode Islander and swears by https://saugys.com/about-us

It's a German Style dog and I think has a significant amount of veal in them. In general I'm not a hot dog fan but these are pretty good.

So I finally got around to that showdown between VonHanson Old Fashioned, VonHanson All-Beef 1/4 lb, and Boar's head. I think the VH all-beefs were the best. It is hard to beat them because it tastes like the meat is aged or partially fermented. The VH OF's were second. Pleasant, nice snap from the casing and coarse grind meat, decent seasoning nothing to complain about. The BH were an excellent example of the art but they just didn't offer much that stood out head-and-shoulders over what you typically get. They had the typical hot dog flavor like Nathans or Ted's which surprised me... I though they would be different. Very nice bun-lengths I will give them that. I wish I could test the others but they either aren't distributed here or are too pricey to ship.

One dog I forgot to recommend that is easy to overlook is the Bar-S 1/4 lb all-beefs. Those are quite nice with a bit of cayenne bite which surprised me. I wish the VH ones would be spicy like these... that would be perfect, best yet. Anyways I hope this helps those who appreciate things done well regardless of whether simple or complex.

Hoffmans were left out?

What about Zweigles?

A semi local sausage company, whose sausage is my fave BTW, offers a Brat & a Garlic frank that I love. Both can be hard to find at times & maybe that's part of the allure.

The garlic frank can be boiled & I like it on a fresh bun with plain yellow mustard.

The Brat is best with a light char of the skin over an open flame with spicy brown mustard.

Slummin is a pork, turkey chicken wiener from a big, long time Cincinnati cold cut maker, Kahns.

Had chilidogs, proper ones IMO, for supper tonight.

Update I have dogs coming from MN and 3 from chitcargo I will know more about dogs then Biden knows little kids...
