1. What a cute puppy!!

I like hot dogs sometimes...plump indeed :9

[sniffa]

23. yeah, i know. with reLish

and a dot of ketchup. :puke:

[bicentennial_baby]

26. Mmmm, I loves me

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

2. I once exploded one in the microwave.

I forgot to poke holes in it.

It got too plump and popped.

[sniffa]

24. eww, messy

you shouLd have poked it.

[Raven]

3. Fenway Franks!

Nothing else will do!

[unpossibles]

4. I like 'em meatless.

they're so goooood. I hear they put extra soy lips and butts, and some tofurat in there to keep the flavor the same though.

[BarenakedLady]

11. Yum!

:thumbsup:

:rofl:

[JackBeck]

5. They make me think of baseball.

And beer. And the summertime. And indigestion.

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. It depends. Hot Dogs as in Beef Franks? Or Hot Dogs as in

the pork, chicken, indiscernible parts type?

I like them both I guess.

7. Hebrew Nationals

Cut in half and grilled on the trusty George Foreman, with chili and cheese, on a toasted bun.

Had three for lunch that way... :-)

[Midlodemocrat]

8. Haha. That puppy pic is adorable. I have a dachshund, too.

I LOVE grilled hotdogs, but the MidloKidlos, not so much. It sucks because it's a cheap, easy dinner.

[sniffa]

21. it is cheap and easy

though not usuaLLy for the hebrew nationaL... so i wait for the buy one, get one free saLes... and then use coupons.

[scarlet_owl]

9. As long as it's a Hebrew National, I don't care what's on it.

[TommyO]

12. Hebrew National 1/4 lb dinner franks - YUM!!!

[Cobalt-60]

42. Agreed.

Almost all hot dogs are tasty.
But the Hebrew Nationals are over the top!

[sniffa]

19. mmm, no other brand i buy

(usuaLLy. sometimes i succumb to a good saLe)

i prefer either the dinner franks, or the brat sized ones.

[Burma Jones]

27. They Answer to a "Higher Authority"

Hebrew Nationals are my favs also.....If I'm going to have a hot dog, I want a Rabbi looking things over.....

[crim son]

10. I like them with fried onions and every condiment you can think of.

They always make me sick so I indulge only a couple times a year.

[Ryano42]

13. The Presto Electocution Hotdog Cooker!

YIKES!!!

http://www.othersideofcountry.com/hotdog.bmp

The worst dog I ever had was cooked in it! Literally fried them with AC current...tasted like...

like...

DEATH. :scared:

[Horse with no Name]

20. We had one of those when I was a kid

It was like watching an execution. Sparks flew everywhere...had a slight metallic taste.

[Ryano42]

25. After tasting them...

we had MANY stays of execution! :scary:

Then...my older brother bought the one that STEAMED 2 dogs and buns!!! Nirvana!!! :9

14. Chicago Style - Vienna frank with poppy seed bun.

A Vienna dog is an absolute must. Nothing else will substitute.



Char dogs are also acceptable, as long as they're Vienna.

[sniffa]

22. not sure i'm hep to your jive

i've had a chicago dog before, but i have no idea which dog it was (granted, this was in mass.).

i've aLso had spikes jundyard dog which doesn't count, since god knows what's in those.

[XNASA]

36. Vienna is a brand name.

Their hot dogs are 100% beef brisket. They're based here, in Chicago.

A char dog is a hot dog that has a cross cut into both ends about an inch deep. It's then put on a grill and cooked so that the ends get slightly charred. Thusly:



I can do without a couple of the Chicago dog ingredients, namely tomatoes, peppers and pickles. The atomic green relish is a must though. It's really more of a blue-green as you can see in the pic.

Bon appetit.

[KitchenWitch]

15. Pink's!

:9

[tk2kewl]

16. grilled Nathan's hot dogs are the only hot dogs.

[supernova]

17. All the way!

If you want a Hot Dog "All the way" down here, it means you want the works: chili, onions, relish, ketchup, mustard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember right now. Except sauerkraut. I like sauerdraut on spicy dogs at the flea market though.

[Tektonik]

18. Dodger dogs or pinks

:9

[Burma Jones]

28. Hebrew Nationals, then Vienna Beef......

My favorite Chicago contribution is the Italian Beef Sandwich though.....

[sniffa]

37. oooh, i'm drooLing here

these pics gave me a semi. :loveya:

[bullwinkle428]

29. Vienna Beef dogs from Portillo's in Chicagoland!

[bullwinkle428]

30. Also have to give a shout-out to Ted's in western N.Y....

http://www.tedsonline.com/

They use Sahlen's (pork and beef), and use a totally different method of preparation from Chicago-style (charcoal-grilled), but equally delicious...

[LeftyMom]

31. Unclean!!!!!

Burn, heathen. :grr:

[bicentennial_baby]

32. Here is some Seitan for you!

Get it? :rofl:

:P

[LeftyMom]

33. Yeah, I get it.

I totally need to post a pic in this shirt: (okay, I can't get a direct link, scroll down and you'll find the one I mean.) http://www.herbivoreclothing.com/hers.html

[bicentennial_baby]

34. OMG! I want that!

:o

:bounce:

All in good fun, love... :loveya:

[LeftyMom]

35. I got a tank from the brick and mortar store when I was up in PDX.

The guy who runs the place is cool, and his wife (the lady with the short blonde hair modeling most of the shirts) brought their baby by and I got to visit with the baby. That was such a fun trip. :)

[Critters2]

39. Me, too

I'm going to be staffing the Christian Vegetarian table at my denom's national convention this summer. I should wear that just to watch the reactions!! :evilgrin:

[bicentennial_baby]

40. Dare you

:evilgrin:

[Critters2]

41. You're on!!! nt

[sniffa]

38. i didn't mean to Leave out the vegans

how about a nice, skinny, tofu dog?

no bursting at the seams, and sweating grease.

[Cobalt-60]

43. to be fair

I thought the few tofu dogs I've had were pretty good.
I just hope we never need face the terror of a Tofurkey dog!

[LeftyMom]

45. The tofurkey sausages are actually pretty good.

The deli slices are okay too. It's just tofurkey itself that sucks.

[Crabby Appleton]

44. I'm goin' with some Kahn's Big Red Smokies tonite for dinner.
