$36 for 12 KC hot dogs! ok .lol

What are your favorite brands?

I used to like Hebrew National, but I am buying the Angus beef Ball Park.

I know they are made with lots of stuff, but they taste good.

Uh, yes, $3.00 each is a bit much. I think the best are Zweigles (Rochester, NY) and Sahlen's (Buffalo, NY). They used to be very local but now are sold at all Wegmans stores so I can get them here in PA.

Hebrew National

Sahlens is my favorite (Can't get them where I live though)

@ValuSkr I loved Sahlens. I grew up in Kenmore NY, and the best hot dogs ever: Ted's Charcoal Hots on Sheridan drive, they only served Sahlens. I miss it. I am in Georgia now, and can't get a decent hot dog here.

If I must, say at a picnic, Tofu Pups. Maybe once or twice a year. Real dogs....no just never.

Hebrew National Reduced Fat... They also have a 97% fat free, but I figure that can't really be a hot dog...

I like Nathan's or Hebrew National.

Funny, my oldest grandson now refuses to eat a hot dog, he says they are an awful food. I guess, if you think about it and read the ingredients, he is probably right!

I pretty much only have hotdogs it seems in the summer - love them cooked out over a fire. 🌭

Camogirl - Yeah, I think your grandson is right. They are pretty gross.

It's been so long since I last used this product but I guess if I had to I would probably go with Hebrew National.

Considering what they are, you'd think that hot dogs would be super cheap.

Sahlens here, they are in my neck of the woods.

I'm originally from Chicago, where the Vienna Beef hot dogs are the chosen ones for Chicago Dogs. Living in Minnesota, I choose Hebrew National, Ball Park angus, or Costco all beef hot dogs.

I was a diehard Hebrew National fan until a foodie I know and respect recommended Nathan's. To me, they are better.

As a second to Nathan's, I also like the Ball Park Angus franks.

If you want good hot dogs, go to the original Nathans in NYC and/or Coney Island. Add mustard, chili sauce topped w/sauerkraut.

I like my hot dogs split & fried. Doesn't matter which brand I get from the supermarket.

My favorite has always been Wranglers by Homel. They've gradually disappeared from the stores and now aren't available at all. My two patriotic favorites gone.... Wranglers and Blue Bell Ice Cream. So I don't eat hot dogs or ice cream.

That would turn summer into bummer in my neck of the woods. Not that I should eat either, but I can't imagine Fourth of July without dogs.

Since there were so many endorsements of Sahlen's and I think I can get them, I'm going to try them. We can't stop eating whole categories just because stupid manufacturers made bad decisions, IMO. That's just a challenge to find a new fave.

Blue Bell has never returned to New Mexico, right next door to Texas and Blue Bell.

I know right, what a joke. Don't eat hot dogs too much here and only on the grill. Nathan's all beef dogs are the best I can find around here. Bun length too. Works for us, about $5.99 for a pack of 6.

I only have one once a year when my sister in law has a cook out and she buys Hebrew National. It's a guilty pleasure but I never buy them anymore.
