How Do You Like Your Hot Dog?

Here's a hot dog story for y'all. My GF is a native New Yorker. We went back there a few years ago for a visit, and decided to do a hotdog-off while doing our walking around. We got a dog (mustard only) at street carts, including Sabrett's, Nathan's, Nikos, Golden Brand, and one or two others I can't recall. The winner was Nathan's with Sabrett's a strong second. We did another hotdog-off when we came home, and again Nathan's was the winner.

If I'm doing them at home, I grill them till just charred, then in a toasted bun with mustard and onions.

When on the town, I'd take a Sonoran Dog or a Chicago Dog any day, any time. I've had a Sonoran Dog at the original place in Tucson, it's a treat not to be missed.

Up until they became a COVID victim, we had a superb hotdog restaurant in town called Mad Dogs. I had most of the dogs on their menu, all were excellent. Here's their menu. It's pretty sad they had to close their doors.
