America's Regional Hot Dog Styles
I will make a trip to Arizona for that dog.
I just made this about an hour ago. The result is a tender chicken with tons of flavor, no silverware required! DIG IN! I also made some mango salsa for some sweet and heat!
I'm the opposite, i love a good hot, spicy meal when its equally blazing outside!
@ corinne "Why am I craving lobster at 8 AM??"
i'm pretty much craving lobster 24 x 7... that and steak... and cream puffs... and ....
bitter! There has never been a time where i have said to myself: "gee i could go for something bitter right about now."
I know the time has already past but during haloween I can't stand candy corn! Eggnog = gross
JustNancy: YES! that IS the place! ah, now i can refer to it with an actual name! umm maybe i should go tonight, oh the snow :(
I feel like the atmosphere @ Joe's Shanghai may be overwhelming... although I haven't been there on a xmas night, its usually packed tighter than sardines and known to sit a few groups together on 1 large table :T I'm usually a little pooped over this, but as soon as those soup dumplings come around... all thoughts on YUM! There is however a very good Malaysian restaurant near by almost venturing into little italy... wonderful price, awesome atmosphere and the food! :)
I usually find myself glancing over a menu without the slightest concern over its category. Either an appetizer or an entree, its all food and its all going down the pie hole!!
Oh boy am I ever happy with my decision to bring hot dogs (OK, OK, they're veggie dogs) to the tailgating event I'm going to tonight. After reading this I'm going to have to clean the drool from my keyboard.
And FWIW, Venezuelans have the greatest hot dogs in the world: mayo, ketchup, mustard, onion, cabbage, and crushed potato chips on a steamed potato roll. Pure win.
Japadog in Vancouver? That's hilarious! I just had a real Chicago Red Hot guy open a few blocks from me in Portland. He even discounts his dogs during Cubs games.
Frank's on Pima and Alvernon has Sonoran hot dogs. Pretty good, but I will try Hermano's suggested above.
Luke's on Ft. Lowell has best Chicago style dog in the Tucson area according to my Chicago born and raised spouse.
BTW, it's "Tucson" not "Tuscon" (And "Wilmot" not "Wilmont").

Am I the first person to mention another New York regional variation - the split dog, fried in butter, like they do at the iconic, venerable Walter's in Mamaroneck (Westchester County)? If memory serves, the bun is grilled in butter, too. Spicy mustard is the only appropriate topping. Careful crossing the Post Road with your precious cargo.
In Seattle the hot dog stands all do cream cheese and grilled onions.
I know this was a US survey, but I recently had my first Japadog in Vancouver. This modest hot dog stand downtown serves a variety of dogs with unique, Japanese toppings including Japanese mayo, nori, teriyaki sauce, fried onions, soy sauce, green onions, daikon, miso sauce, and Kaiware (daikon seeds). Yum!
Sabretts with NY style deli mustard and red onions, nothin' better IMHO.
Growing up in the Chicagoland area, I agree with 'bodaciousgirl' in that the only way to successfully achieve a Chicago Dog is to use Vienna Beef Franks. Now living in Orlando, I've found that Hot Dog Heaven has done a great job at bringing the Vienna Beef Chicago Dogs to central Florida (dragging them thru the garden with the neon green relish and sport peppers along with the poppy seed buns.)
For any Phoenician looking for a great Sonoran Dog, hit up the stand off the southwest corner of 19th Ave. and Broadway. They set up around 8 p.m. and stay open well after midnight.
Lastly, if ever in the Allentown, Trexlertown, or Fogelsville, PA area, ask where the nearest Yocco's is. (The Hot Dog King; the secret's in Yocco's (chili) sauce.)
Saugy's is very good. I wouldn't call them veal based; they are made with pork, veal, and beef in the German style. Mild, but flavorful, with a slight peppery taste in the background. Reminiscent of Sahlen's from Buffalo.
