What's your favorite hot dog brand /ck/?

Picrel is mine. Can go wrong with Boars Head brand products.

All of mine keep getting discontinued. : (

nathan's jumbo franks are the best i've had

nothing will beat a good koegel

>>21409705
Is their pickled bologna any good? I keep meaning to try it.

My greatest guilty pleasure lazy meal is a dog with half a can of chili, freshly diced white onion, topped with shredded cheese

I like ballpark beef bun length
sabretts are good too but kinda hard to find near me

>>21409716
I buy a big jar of their pickled bologna about twice a year, between that and their hotdogs koegels will be the reason I have colon cancer at age 43 and I don't care

Boar's Head got caught with the most disgusting factory conditions I've heard about from a place that isn't a 3rd world country. I don't dare touch their shit anymore.

I like mine with mustard and chili, hold the listeria

Boar's Head SETTLED a dispute about an alleged listeria infection at one of their alleged facilities. They never claimed fault, and they paid a bribe, which means that there never was a listeria infection, and Boar's Head meat is safe to eat, Dumbass.

i used to get those like a decade plus ago all the time at Stop & Shop, havent seen them in forever though, assumed they stopped making them.

i like Frankies (the fast food place and they sell them in certain grocery stores in an 8 pack) which I think might only be in CT and MA, ive never found them in other states which ive only realized in recent years, used to think they were a brand you could find anywhere

>>21409926
i always top it with sauer kraut and Sabrett spicy brown mustard, best hot dog spicy brown ive had wish it wasnt so hard to find, only down to one grocery store i can find that still carrys it

>>21409925
Well, I'm not one to point fingers, but maybe if they hired documented workers from the USA, and kept things up to standard, maybe they wouldn't have so many problems.

>>21409933
Well, cat's out of the bag now. I'll never touch that brand again. It's a shame, their stuff is everywhere and easy to find. I won't be buying it.

Whole Foods has good dogs. I think the brand I like is Applewood Farms or something like that.

>>21409925
If we didn't have organizations like OSHA or ICE, then we wouldn't be hearing about things like this. End fascism now! Abolish OSHA!!
Just think about all those illegal immigrants that don't have jobs now because all those government agents with their nazi rules shut down that Boar's Head facility.
As Upton Sinclair's Jungle taught us, the solution to the capitalist menace is SOCIALISM.

>>21409965
You're picking two weird political arguments anon, the right absolutely wants to get rid of OSHA.

Anyways, my favorite dogs are normally surprisingly blended between pork/beef/chicken and aren't just 100% some kind of meat. These are good.

IMO the perfect dog

>>21409965
What are you even saying?

>>21409965

>>21410057
He's trying to say something about how federal regulations are necessary for food safety (I don't disagree) but he's too retarded to articulate his argument.

>>21409923
Thats disgusting wtf, why even do that? I’m also never eating boar’s meat again

>>21409688 (OP)
I really like boars head meats. If you like turkey try their salsalito. Very delicious.

>>21410202
It gets worse, anon.

>>21410202
It's a fake article, Anon.

>>21409688 (OP)
Look, guys, guys.... you need to change your perspective. OK, maybe Boar's Head sucks at making safe & healthy deli meats....

But on the other hand, they seem to be among the world's top Listeria farmers. There's gotta be a market for that, right? Like doctors doing research? Top medical schools around the world trust Boar's Head™ brand Listeria cultures to be the best, the most virulent and contagious.

And hey, has your son been pestering you to buy him a pet dog, but your landlord won't allow it? Maybe he'll be happy with a smaller pet, a MUCH smaller pet, like a cute little Boar's Head Listeria monocytogenes. Just buy Timmy a microscope, and he can watch MILLIONS of them cavort and play on a single slide! Listeria could become even more popular than Tamagotchi or Pokemon.

I'm not picky so Sbar is fine with me. otherwise I'd just go for brats

>>21410341
You're a brat.

>>21410345
your mom was a brat

>>21409688 (OP)
Didn't boar head have hepatitis or something in the meat?

for me, it's Sahlen's

>>21410358
>pork, water, beef
Bruh

>>21410358
>corn syrup in a fucking hot dog

>>21410358
I didn’t know Sahlen’s made hot dogs, I’m a fan of their Smokehouse Ham which I always get at my deli

>>21410347
Proofing point.

>>21409926
That actually looks decent? Where?

>>21410595
Well. It definitely not a place called Frankies

>>21410595
they're all over Connecticut (could swear Massachusetts and Rhode Island had them too but maybe not anymore?) theyre pretty good, though a lot of summer drive-in type places make similar good foot long dogs of that quality, but i do like that you can buy Frankies at the grocery since its hard to get those quality ones at the food store to make at home

>>21410662
Bought some the other day come to think of it (had to take a pic of them myself since you can’t find the grocery store sold packs on google images oddly, maybe it really is only local to CT)

>>21409688 (OP)
These are the easiest to get that are consistently good.

weiners

>>21409688 (OP)
I usually get these they pretty good on the outdoor grill. Always thought Nathan’s and Oscar Meyer were nasty

>>21409688 (OP)
The one I liked as a kid was called Kahn’s which is a memory that just unlocked I had forgotten about, guessing they don’t make ‘em anymore since I haven’t seen them in a grocery store in at least 20 years or more. They used to be common as hell, every store had ‘em when I was a kid, they were usually the ones we’d always get. I think they tasted kinda similar to Ballpark from what I remember of them.

I honestly prefer mystery meat hot dogs over all beef hot dogs

>>21409908
>a place that isn't a 3rd world country
It was in America, though.

>>21409933
Weren't the vast majority of the employees American-born Americans from the American town the American company's American factory was Americanly in?

anything with natural casing
the bite is so satisfying it makes up for flavor

>>21409688 (OP)
>barfs head
Another NPC falls for it. Sorry, but I’ll always go with the far superior Dietz and Watson. If you don’t have this in your area, I’m sorry.

>>21409718
Hot sauce, plate, knife, and fork?

>left the good hotdogs sit out all night after too drink

>>21409688 (OP)
By chance OP, Epicurious just uploaded a glizzy roundup a few days back:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cn0bsLj9i3U
tl;dw Nathan's was top pick in natural casing and Costco/Kirkland for non-natural casing. Boar’s Head was also given high-remarks as well as Ball Park flavor-wise but without a strong snap.

>>21409688 (OP)
pork and beef or just pork is so much better than beef dogs.

>>21410889
These are the only ones I used to buy then I moved and I can only find the ones in OPS pic and they are fucking horrible in comparison. I don't even eat hotdogs anymore. I wish I could find the dietz again.

>>21410256
that's what they want you to believe. no more poopy hotdogs for me!

>>21410942
I’m sorry, friend. I’d send you some if the doxxing risks didn’t exist.

>>21410942
At least from my experience, they seem to sell them at all BJs Wholesales Club if you have any nearby- you know that place that’s basically a less good Costco. Also at Price Chopper if you’re on the east coast.

I don't want to derail the thread, but I love to dip wieners in mayonnaise before shoving them down my throat. I don't have a gag reflex. 17/f/Canada

it's not even close, really
sabrett comes close and believe it or not, kayem does as well. but grote & weigel reigns supreme

>>21409688 (OP)
Thumann's.

When I lived in CT there was a hot dog stand in Portland called Top Dog and they exclusively used this brand. Nice snap, great taste. I can't remember the last time I saw them in stores but they're first-rate hot dogs.

>>21409688 (OP)
whats the consensus on corn dogs? yay or nay?

>>21410710
your mom was easiest to get and consistently good back then

>>21413690
once every few years I have one and enjoy it

>>21410816
The industrial food processing industry is notorious for hiring low-class foreigners. Been this way for quite a while. Check out a 2001 book called Fast Food Nation, which was later adapted into a movie. It's a good starting point and might make you think twice about eating anything coming from an industrial processing plant.

>>21413690
Yay if they are done right with real cornmeal batter.

>>21413690
nay. too sweet

>>21409688 (OP)
SS and it's not even close. The lamb gives it a great flavour and it has a satisfying snap.

These are my favorite. The Kielbasa one is ok too. Without skin is gay.
Hebrew National is ok too.

>>21409925
Sounds like a typical factory.

>beef only dogs
Semites need to get back to their bunkers.

Martin Rosol's, now and forever.

>>21409705
based

>>21410925
This.

>>21413907
major letdown for me
maybe i got a bad batch. they had a chemical taste to them, almost like soap or something, and it wasn't the cooking surface. not sure. they used to advertise so much on local radio, old-timey recipe etc, but damn they sucked
>>21415270
they've got big balls to sell them in boxes of like 24 only or whatever it is. i've never been to the actual store because i try to avoid new britain, but would it kill them to sell them in a reasonably sized package?
their kielbasa is pretty good though

Ballpark Grillmaster Hearty Beef. But I won't turn down most dogs.

The original and still the best.
I don't see the point for the Hot Dog industry when Nathan's was the first and hasn't been outdone yet.

>>21413690
I can't stand that they all use honey. I think they would be better without the sweetness but such a thing basically doesn't exist.

>>21413690
If I'm craving one I'll have it.
The asian meme ones are overrated, but easier to get

>>21413690
Mini corn dogs are fantastic. Not much for the big ones. Always seem to have an excessive amount of batter.

>>21417953
i mean you can just freeze em for later, hot dogs keep pretty well

>>21409688 (OP)
i really like hot dogs but i fucking hate hotdog burps so i just don't eat them anymore

>>21414617
Maybe on planet retard.
