Sabrett. This is what they use in the NYC pushcarts, affectionally known as "Dirty Water Dogs".

I grew up in New York City and pretty much grew up on hot dogs. I love Sabrett! :wub:

Late, I lived in Chicago for about 14 years and started to dig teh Chicago style hot dog, which is grilled, and has mustard, relish, chopped raw onion, pickle and tomato slices on a seeded dog bun. That's pretty damn good too. If you are in the Chicago area, go to POOCHIE's in Skokie, Illinois. All their food is good (no, I'm not related!), but the Polish dogs are tops.

Oh yeah, outstanding fries too:

Actually, I love hot dogs in most anyway possible. Only dislike-- never ketchup on a dog!

Believe it or not, but the dogs and pizza they sell at Costco (in the stands outside the stores) are pretty damn good, though the quality may be regional.

For store-bought, we tend to stay away from the national brands, the Hebrew Nats being an exception. The Ralph's deli brand is also quite spicy and yummy...

I agree that a Sabrett 'dirty water dog' is very good, but two pages, replies from present & ex-New Yorkers and nary a mention of Nathan's?!!!! I assumed that somebody had made their way to Coney Island if they ever lived in NYC-EGADS! Go to Coney Island on a summer day and get a dog at Nathan's and experience hot dog heaven(Their fries are also fantastic). So many dogs have been cooked on the grill there that each dog gets a little extra special flavoring. Combined with the sea air, you have a taste sensation worthy of the gods! It is the Olympus of dogdom, the apex of tube steaks, the pinnacle of frank culture! They are also available in supermarkets, and are very good there, but they do not compare to Nathan's at Coney Island.

In NY it used to be Hebrew National but in recent years they've been cutting down on the garlic flavoring so now I agree that best is Sabrett's.  :rolleyes:

But Hebrew National are still way above average. I can't get Sabrett's in my neck of the shitty woods (Dallas/Ft. Worth, USA).
