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!

@ 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 ....

I know the time has already past but during haloween I can't stand candy corn! Eggnog = gross

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! :)

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.

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.

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!

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.)
