LOVE me some natural casing hot dogs!

 

ALDI's used to have Hofmann's, but can't seem to get them anymore.

Our favorite is the Hebrew National Bun Length Beef Franks.   If I can't find them I always go for the Oscar Meyer brand.  

 

I cannot stand Ball Park Franks.    I've never had Nathan's Hot Dogs but I've been tempted to try them.

I prefer Oscar Meyer bun length beef hot dogs, as they do not taste salty to me. I do not like a big plump hot dog as they do not work well with any type of hot dog buns.

i am not too big on hot dogs, except ... 

 

on a holiday like the 4th of july, i really miss living up north where i  could run to wegman's and pick up some zweigles hots!  

 

@LilLadyNJ  and @denisemb  ... this year i happened to find some hoffman's hot dogs at publix.  i savored every bite!  i think maybe they only had them just for the holiday, but i sure will look again next year.

We hadnt eaten hot dogs for years, because of the mad cow scare & casings we didn’t like, so when I discovered Trader Joe’s Organic, Grass-fed, Uncured Beef ones, I tried them, & we really like them.  Mustard & sauerkraut is what we like on them, although a little relish is nice, too.  We like the red onion sauce that the vendors in NYC put on their dogs, but haven’t eaten them in years.  I may try to make that sauce!

Either Hebrew National or Nathan's. I either split them down the middle and grill them or boil them in beer. We usually have them with honey mustard and relish, sometimes ketchup. If I've got some leftover chili, we make chili dogs. One of my friends won't eat hot dogs - so sad.

I really don't like hot dogs cuz, well, they're gross.  But I've always heard Nathan's and Hebrew National to be the gold standards.  I'm sure there are newer brands out there that are appealing to those who eat them, so that's not a one and done statement.  Smiley Happy

I understand the craving.  Mine was for Kielbasa which DH brought me this morning from the store and I had for brunch with sauerkraut.  Nirvana!

Zweigels is a brand specific to Rochester NY.  White and red hots.  Bliss.  Nothing says summer than a Zweigles on the grill, burst open from the fire.
