Pauly Dogs opened for business outside of Duke's campus almost 15 years ago, a crazy hot dog cart run by former bartender and pizzeria cook Paul Konstanzer. Since moving to Duke's West Campus Plaza in 2007—along with other carts like Locopops and the Carribean Kitchen—Pauly has established a loyal cult following with 52 (and growing!) varieties of hot dogs and hundreds of toppings.

There are plenty of brand new, amazing and/or totally insane hot dog monstrosities at the ballparks all over the country this season. Many of them are deep-fried, bacon-wrapped, four-foot-long mutant hot dogs, while other concoctions are more locally inspired, like the Provel Cheese topped dog in St. Louis. Check out these dogs.

There were a few signs right off the bat that this stuff was going to be good. Getting yelled at for taking pictures, and being asked "that's it?" with a sad frown after ordering "only" several pounds of Kielbasa and Kabanosy. More

Just in time for the start of baseball season, we recently compiled a list of the best hot dogs and sausages near the Major League ballparks. Not the crazy concoctions served in the parks that we featured last year, but the real-deal joints and carts just outside the stadium or a short drive away. And I was really excited to do this Minor League version, knowing that small towns tend to be ground zero for amazing old-school hot dog joints and eccentric cart dudes. More

Nu_Way's original Macon location was our first stop on a long, long day of southern hot dog eating. But it was so good—definitely the best of the day—that we broke several rules of the Serious Eats Food Marathon Manifesto, eating all of our food and even ordering more. And this was with at least 6 or 7 other hot dog joints to hit over the next 10 hours. More

Spring is here again which means the beginning of baseball season, which also means the unofficial start of hot dog season. It's time to highlight the really cool spots outside the Major League Baseball ballparks where you can grab a dog or sausage before or after the game, for a lot less money and a real taste of whatever city you're in.

The Ikea Dog, officially known as the Swedish Meal Time Dog, starts with Hot Diggity's standard base of a toasted Liscio's oversized hot dog bun, lined with two pieces of bibb lettuce tossed in lemon vinaigrette. Next is the grilled all-beef Sabrett's dog topped with rock shrimp salad made with mayo, sour cream and tarragon. Finished off with fresh dill, fried potato sticks, and a handful of salmon roe. CAVIAR. On a hot dog. And it works. More

The food at Frank is just as awesome as the concept, where about half of the artisan sausages are made in-house. The Jackalope is one of the most popular, but they also do all sorts of weekly specials like the Venison Corn Dog and the In-and-Out tribute Animal Style dog, an all-beef Vienna topped with grilled onions, American cheese, iceberg and Thousand Island dressing, only available during SXSW.

Maui's Dog House has been quietly serving hot dogs at their family-run stand in Wildwood, New Jersey, for over ten years now. At least until Guy Fieri showed up and put them on the "Flavortown" map, quadrupling their business overnight. Having never visited the original, I was excited to hear they were opening a new location smack in the middle of Center City Philadelphia. More

Oscars and hot dogs might not seem like the most likely combination. That is, of course, until you think of one of America's most beloved hot dogs, the Oscar Mayer Wiener, and then you wonder why the two haven't been paired together earlier. Here are nine Oscar-themed hot dogs inspired by each of the films nominated for Best Picture. Everything from "The Parisian Dog" for Midnight in Paris with pâté and Dijon vinaigrette to the pineapple and Sriracha "Hawaii Dog" for The Descendants. More
