Add beef bouillon to your water.... major difference. Then let it cool after dogs are gone, save and add a little to dogs dry food daily. They'll eat the bowl.
Ohhhhh, love the split dog! I grew up with a treat lunch being fried split hotdogs and mayo sandwich.
Yellow Mustard and Ketchup is my go to for a Dog
Absolutely....thats what I preach....dont tell people what they cant have....let them do them....cheers
,,,,and a slice of Kraft American Cheese!!!! Now I just got hungry!
Loving the bun steaming idea. I was in a Coast Guard Cutter and when we were in the yards one of the Chiefs came up with the idea tos make hot dogs in the Chiefs Mess with steam trays and sell them to the shipyard workers and it KILLED! Made a ton of money for the morale fund.
😮
It is really cool how honest you are! It gets more subscribers! Great for buyers! It is cool your wife takes the videos and enjoys what you do. She can be funny. Put what you want on it. Heinz Ketchup and Frenches mustard are my favorites when I choose to have them that way. Your comment was funny when you put the Ketchup on!!!! I Love it on burgers and fries. To each their own!
Appreciate the kind words
Had a family dinner today and we had 20+ folks, we did smash burgers and dogs of all kinds. The way you did the dogs in the water and then to the griddle was epic - I had never done that before. The folks that wanted boiled dogs got them, the folks that wanted griddle dogs got them fast! Since the dogs were already hot from the water, only took 2 to 3 minutes on the griddle for color and flavor. A literal game changer for dogs, thank you!
Hey thats awesome...maybe im not crazy ahahhaha
I am all about Mustard and onions too. That is the best!
Absolutely
Hard to beat a good snappy hot dog. Classic is right. Great job
We made chili dogs a couple days ago! There is always room for a good hot dog!
ketchup (or catsup) and diced onion on mine...it's the best!
Heck yeah....dont back down...let em now...
If you think split dogs are good, you gotta try a spiralized dog! Those are the BEST!
Love to see that Silver Springs product from NW Wisconsin in there! Wash it down with some Spotted Cow!
Love it Brother! I love crisped hot dogs (over charcoal, my family calls them Char Dogs). And the amount and types of toppings are staggering. Strangely though, if I could only eat 1 single hot dog for the rest of my existence, I would go extremely retro. At the baseball park. Boiled/steamed dog on a steamed bun with cheap ball park yellow mustard.....
to be honest...my fondest memories are the same....UT Football...boiled sausage dog...1 pack goldens brown mustard...the hot dog is placed in a bun...in an aluminum style take out pack...and then heated for hours still sold..geeze it brings back memories
I'll take 1 of each, please! For a proper NYC dirty water dog, the water is seasoned. I use a bit of pickling spices, and a dash of red wine vinegar. We really don't use ketchup, but out hot dog onions are in a tomato based sauce, and it's amazing. Sauerkraut is a must for me, too. Chicago style dogs are excellent as well. Cool idea for a crowd is a toppings bar, keep the dogs in the water, finish to order, then let them build however they want. Awesome in its simplicity!
Hope all is well..cheers
Simple cooks like this are the best!
I totally agree!
Just wanted to say thanks again for all you do !.very much sir !. Wishing you all well ! Have a great day !.
So nice of you
Yup! Steamed buns are the next level! - Cheers!
I've been doing a deep dive into many of your videos. You're amazing and make this look so easy.
Hey thank you...
The simple goodness!! 😎
Love the videos so far everything I’ve cooked has been great griddle
Thank you , it nice to travel back to where we all began 👍
Absolutely!
I love mustard and Mt.Olive pickled Vidalia onion strips.
Both the hot dogs and sausages looked awesome! I love the smell of onions and peppers cooking on the griddle. Especially seasoned with shake that! Heck yeah! I have a nice heavy duty cast iron bacon press. I didn't even think about pressing dogs like that. Great idea man!
The split hod dog sammich is primo, opens up another level of the pup sammich. Like the technique, never tried it quite like this. We do use the water to keep the pups and burgers warm during our veteran fund raiser events.
Wow! Who knew how to fix hot dogs on griddle w warm buns! Nathan's are my fav.. thnks! Ur the best! That's why they call u the King, right? Wifey does great job filming and taste testing! ❤ 😊 Suzie in East Tn/Greeneville
Awesomeness Neal! Definitely no crime with ketchup on a dog, but definitely onions and mustard a must! Have an awesome weekend Neal! Cheers 🍻
Love it love it love it. I make my hot dogs on the griddle all the time. Back in the day. I made them on the charcoal grill and the neighborhood kids would line up for them. My favorites on a hot dog are mustard or kraut and horseradish or chili with or without cheese and onions. Just so you know, ketchup on a hot dog is illegal in 37 states. Not sure if Tennessee is one of them or not.
I love the split dog, I like to put several diagonal slices in the dog too, usually that’s my sample dog while I’ll grilling.
Ketchup, mustard and onions are a must! But in the end, Neil, I agree with you…. Eat what you like!
You guys are making me hungry!!!
Sometimes a good old fashion griddle dog is all ya need 😋😋😋
Love the griddle dogs!
Absolutely
Definitely done right, no matter how you top your dog👍😊
Looks delish ! And I can almost smell them!
so simple but so good
Love a griddle dog
i totally understand everyone can /should make a hodog how they want it great video thank you.
Thanks bud
Great Video! Nothing Better Than A Hot Dog On A Steamed Bun No Matier What Toppings! Im From Detroit Nothing Like A Great Chili Dog! (Coney Island)
Nothing like a good hot dog! Thanks Neil.
The best!
I was always a "NO KETCHUP ON HOT DOG" type of person and it drove me crazy seeing my kids load it up on their dogs, until recently I tried a hot dog with mayo and OMG the mayo took it to another level. So now I agree with FTK, if you like it, then put it on there.
😊🌭🌭🌭 great video... Thanks 🍺🌭
Love your show. When I split a dog I put cheese in the split melted.
Absolutely!
Perfect
I really love hotdogs....I'm good with pretty much on them! =D
Looks delicious as always. Its crazy, I'll rat a boiled hot dog with mustard, chili, and onions from hole in the wall places all fay long, but I refuse to boil a hot big at the house.😂
Definitely going to try your approach on it though next weekend.
The Silver Springs Beer and Brat mustard is so damn good. It's hands-down my favorite mustard for anything. Such a great bite to it! A good sausage/brat, some kraut, and some of that mustard, and I am set.
Genius
Looks great. Reminds me of cutting 4 cuts in some thick bologna (so it doesn't curl), slice of cheese on toast with mustard.
OOOHHH yeah...all about that...
In Michigan coney dogs are a big thing. It’s a hotdog with chili, onion, and usually mustard on it.
I made your hog dog chili last summer. That was dynamite!!!! I had so much extra. I still have some in the freezer!! Great video!!!!!
Perfect time to get out....
That looks good guys , back in New York in Manhattan we would buy what we called " dirty water dogs " from the little hot dog wagons with red onions on them THEY WERE DELICIOUS !! I brought my daughter there one time , she almost threw up on one bite .. so I ate all 4 of them .. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA... PS brings back lots of memories...
Sabrett hot dogs. The best!
I have not done a ripper in a long time. Gotta do that soon. Thanks for the reminder of how good hotdogs can be. I am a dill relish/Sauerkraut/mustard guy.
right there with ya
I recently went to Costco Food Court for their 1/4 lb. dogs for $1.50 with beverage. Excellent dogs. I think bringing them home, slice them, pan fry the insides, add minced onions, Sauerkraut, Mustard to the insides, place in buns add more toppings if desired, wrap in foil and heat up in oven to get that bun steamed again. Bet that would be a VERY good dog. Sorta like a stuffed dog. The 1/4 pounders are large enough to get condiments on the inside.
I just ate a boiled hot dog. I love grilled hot sausages with all the fixings!!! 😋
sounds like a Costco method!
@@gosman949 Taste like it too. 😋
Absolutely....
As a suggestion if the dogs are not frozen or halfway way cooked make a plus sign (+) like that on each end they expand a lot easier.
Ketchup on a HD !!??? Hell yea Neil ! Lol . One of the few things I like ketchup on . How about with scrambled eggs and hot dogs mixed ? Mmmmm
Some grilled jalapeños would be nice too! Great video! Polish sausages would be great as well! Ok I’m done.
Great idea!!
Don’t forget the celery salt!
"Steaming My Buns"...used to be my closing dance number when I was touring with the Chip-n-Dips
ahhahaha
Maaaaan...Now youre speaking my language!! Some call me weird for it. But sweet baby rays or any good bbq sauce is also a good condiment for hotdogs. Ever tried Filipino hotdogs? Theyre red and good (in my opinion) with rice and banana ketchup. Did that on my griddle last weekend.
We have dont something similar with bbq sauce but not that style...what exactly is banana ketchup...
@@TheFlatTopKingI swear it tastes nothing like bananas 😂 Its a sweeter tasting ketchup commonly found in the Philippines. There is also a spicy version. Del Monte and Jufran are two of the bigger brands you'll find them in. Should be found in an Asian grocery store or if you shop online at Weee, they have them there as well.
@@TheFlatTopKingIf you want.. and if you have an address you would like to share, I can send you some (Philippine hotdogs and banana ketchip).
OMG, a CZcamsr who knows what a good hotdog is!
BZ Shipmate.
Dude I haven’t eaten a hot dog since my kids were young. Making me want one now!
hahahaha ball park dog all day long...
You really need to try all beef kosher hot dogs split on the griddle.
They sure do like their hotdogs
I fill the 36" Blackstone with hotdogs, for our church kids cookout and have fun watching people. The hotdogs start rollng around and people's eyes get big. I tell them these are my self rotating dogs🤣
haahhaahha very very true
This is giving me the itch Tom pull the flat top back out now that’s warming up. Need a quality dog now.
I agree with 90% of this video. I like Pepperidge Farms, I use their onion and potato rolls all the time. But I hate a top split hotdog bun..... you can't fit any toppings...lol. Another great video despite my objections. I love a good dog and will buy one anywhere I travel. Had a very good " Taco Dog " in Nashville back in January, it was a chili dog with crushed Fritos on top.
I appreciate ya...completely agree....the idea there for the spit top..but absolutely nothing will fit...and more often than not...its crooked...
kaboom !!
All of those look great to me! Try some A1 or Heinz 57 if you wanna tweak some haters :)
Mayonnaise on a hot dog… tried it this year… life changing.
Looks tasty! For me, the perfect dog has a boiled, flat topped browned, or grilled dog, steamed bun, finely diced raw white onion, sport peppers if you have them, thin strips of dill pickle, and if I have sweet relish I'll add that as well, plus yellow mustard. At the DQ we grilled split dogs meat side down and when we pulled the hot dog bun from the low temp grill we made them to order. As we didn't serve ketchup, if a customer wanted it they got chili sauce ;) As a kid I didn't like the split dogs, but as an adult I love them.
Chili sauce for the win...
Yes, mustard and onions!
I’m mainly any kind of mustard and relish and onions on my dog but ketchup works well when you ain’t got nothing else to slather on. Cheers Navy! 🍺
Awesome
Miller’s all beef, nitrate and nitrite free hot dogs on a soft, artisan bun with French’s mustard, onion, cheddar cheese and Del Monte sweet relish. Tomorrow…👍🏻👍🏻
Sorry. Catsup on hot dogs is like pineapple on pizza, A1 steak sauce on a really good rib eye or Coke with a good bourbon.😉
I always split my dogs, that is the best way, especially on the griddle, you get that awesome inside! Try a slice of bacon underneath the dog and down the middle of it a line of spicy brown mustard and you will have the greatest dog there is.
Absolutely
Love me some Ketchup on my hot dog. NO mustard. Chili Cheese dog, yes. Pickles, yes. Hot Dog fun!!
Im with you Neil. I put ketchup on my hot dogs. If they don't like it. They should remember how they arrived so they know how they can leave
hhahaahha spot on...cheers
Mustard and pickle relish... the devils delight...
Dude awesome can't touch this😅😂
You cant beat ketchup and frenchys mustard on a hotdog, love it, haters or not🤣👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎🏴
hhhhaaha let em hate...just funny to me when they say....YOU CANT...ahahahh the hell you cant
Hola, tus videos son muy interesantes , el griddel que usas, se puede usar para negocio? O solo es para uso doméstico?
Estos pueden usarse para ambos...aunque
Algunas planchas son más grandes y mejores que otras...
As a southerner I’ve been known to hit a dog with ketchup. Usually mustard and a handful of sweet onions.
Absolutely
Here in Western Pa., Hienz ketchup is a must on a dog!
Hey thats what Im talking about....right on...i personally dont really care for it...BUT....I would not tell someone that is looked negatively or demean like some do...just drives me nuts
@@TheFlatTopKing I'm with ya brother. Love all you do
@@rogerh3954 👊👊
Born and raised in SW PA and ketchup it was. Loved lots of places and still do the ketchup base most times. I do add mustard and other ingredients these days as well. Also, loved in Chicagoland for a while and a Chicago dog is great!
I agree…and here in Chicago you can get arrested for putting it on a hotdog!!
One of these days i need to make a video on my hot dog bun hack you will love it! It's a great hack for all the griddlers out there!
Sounds great!
New game : Every time Neal says "classic," take a drink.
Strange food fun. top cut hot dog buns aren't available on the west coast. Kinda like the best foods/hellmans mayo split the country in half.
Yes, ketchup. Grew up that way in Nevada.
I like to steam Ball Park franks, spicy mustard, Claussens sauerkraut, and wrapped in a flour tortilla. Yummy!
😜
Absolutely...my dad does the tortilla thing
Steamed? Gross
At first I thought why the heck would I watch a hot dog video? But I did, is was great, and now I am hungry. I don’t own an outside griddle, but I do have a griddle burner on my stove, and a griddle insert for my Weber Summit Charcoal grilling station. I am looking at getting a 20 X 20 Cuisinart two burner griddle as an anniversary gift from work that I will put on my cooker table and perhaps bring it camping.
Hey thats awesome...hey if interested I have another CZcams channel...I use my Weber Summit Charcoal station as well...matter of fact...we used it today...it will be titled...Can I make Pit Beef on a pellet grill...we used the weber as well...to test the two differences...
@@TheFlatTopKing I made a couple of pastramis yesterday with corn beef flats. Not too shabby.
I will have to find your other channel. What is the name of it?

Everytime I see someone put ketchup on hotdog I see Vince Vaughan saying, "Grow up Peter Pan!" Jokes aside, thank y'all for the continual inspiration and education!
Appreciate ya...
Gotta have Duke’s mayo on a dog….
I have a pack of hot dogs in my refrigerator. I know what I'm going to be eating for the next two days. Enjoy your hot dogs 👑. Don't forget to share with Amy. ✌️
cheers
I also like Mayo and Ketchup on my dog...
Absolutely....
Tomato sauce is the main thing we use on our hotdogs here in Australia o
Interesting...when you say tomato sauce....literally that or other ingredients in it...
I love chared split dogs on my Weber🫕, I add cheese and bacon on the dog then add mayo, mustard, and tomatoes on the bun. I will have to try them on my Blackstone
Now Charcoal is on a whole different level....love a char grilled hot dog.
Try the hot dog with ketchup topped with some fried potato sticks, regular or spicy! I've seen it turn a few ketchup haters...
To straight up answer your question from the video title, "No." I prefer to grill over charcoal, veggies and all. But I've always wanted to have a griddle. 😃
Have to 100 agree. Thats just being honest
I like a good hot dog. My matto is K.I.S.S. (KEEP IT SIMPLE SILLY) and hot dogs fill that bill. GRIDDLE ON DUDES.
Thanks bruno...
How about doing a chili recipe that would have been great with the hotdog!
We got one for ya...one of our favorites
theflattopking.com/griddle-hot-dogs-with-chili/
Always ketchup and mustard for me!
I also prefer mustard only. But you can't really lump me in with the haters, now and then a little ketchup is ok on them. The silver spring beer & brat mustard is the best ever on sausages. I haven't been able to find it here in my area for a long time.
spot on...not really about how much I like it...but to tell someone they should never..hahahah just kills me...if you like it ...eat it that way...
Dogs! Love a good hot dog.
Burn mine please. It's the only food I like charred.
I toss toast that is even slightly over toasted, but a charred dog on a steamed bun is perfection. 😋
If i had to choose...charcoal all the way.....darker than most...100 agreed...
Get yourself a slot dog.. game changer

If they were surprised by being able to do hot dogs on the griddle, I bet scoring or using a Slotdog would blow their mind🤣🤣
hahahaahha true..
