Every Style of Hot Dog We Could Find Across the US

- Hot dogs are about as American as apple pie. It's not uncommon for different states to offer their unique spins on classic American cuisine, and the hot dog industry is no exception. While some stands and shops take inspiration from other popular local cuisines for their toppings (like adding coleslaw or fish sticks to their classic franks and buns), others insist on layering, excluding, or adding ingredients to ensure their dogs remain a distinct staple to their regional style.

2 fake Texas dogs but no actual Texas chili dog smh
@@RonDonProductions How is the Texas chili dog different from other chili dogs? I'm legitimately curious.
@@kennethcraig9228 TBH not much, the chili is just meat based and they add cheese and onion. I'm just a little salty over not being included while 2 others using the name are included lol
Slaw dogs are not a just North Carolina thing.
@@exploderish a traditional "Carolina Style" dog is: Chili, Slaw, Mustard and Onions. Not always that bright red weiner, I've never seen one of those outside a restaurant pushing the specific brand. Most Carolina style dogs are Nathan's or Sabrettes.
LA street hot dogs have a special place in my heart, every single concert or event I've been to in LA, you bet a street vendor will be waiting outside grilling some tasty dogs, the caramelized onions are the best part!
There are two rules of thumb when it comes to street dogs:
1. The less official the stand is, the better the food is. If that sweet old Mexican lady is cooking out of a laundry cart and keeps her ketchup and mustard in rinsed-out Suavitel containers, the dogs are gonna be fire. They'll also be super generous with the portions and give you a sausage wrapped in 4 bacon strips topped with a pound of onion for like $6.
2. The more indistuingishable each ingredient is, the tastier the hot dog will be. You don't want your street dog to look like the photo at Costco food courts. All the ingredients need to mix and make the dog look like garbage in order to maximize the flavor per bite.
Those Sonoran Dogs look amazing.
Today I learned that apparently Greek immigrants are hot dog experts. There's like three or four people featured here that made the first of various regional dogs. I, an Italian-American, find more reasons to respect Greece and its people as the days go by. :D
I think this is a side-effect of many diners in the north east being owned by Greek immigrants. If you're running a diner a good way to draw customers is to innovate in some way with the food you're serving.
You know they colonized southern Italy before Rome was anything more than a small city?
Here in Alabama there is a popular Hotdog chain called "Sneaky Pete’s" it was founded in 1966 by a good friend of mine by the name of Pete Graphos, Who is also Greek
Cheeseburger cheeseburger cheeseburger...
On the other hand it was also a Greek immigrant who invented Pizza Hawaii...
I've seen people post some hotdogs from Brazil or other countries and claim they're superior to US hotdogs. But, they don't realize how large the United States is and how many different varieties of hot dogs and condiments we have. Thanks for putting it in perspective with just a FRACTION of all the hotdogs in the USA.
Been to Brazil and they do the same hun thing as the Puka Dog
I don’t think you realize how big Brazil is lol. It’s larger than the contiguous US
@@ryanf1425 But you're correct. contiguous Brazil is bigger.. #1 Russia, Canada, USA, China, Brazil
@@earth9544 yeah, but he’s American so they don’t know about other places 🤷♂️
@@ryanf1425 I never went to Brazil but I know Peru and Colombia. They couldn't compete with our hot dogs but have awesome food.
Endless possibilities with this series; Delicatessens across the US, regional pizza styles, hamburger favorites, ice cream shops... I could go on, but that's a fun little list off the top of my head. This is the first time I've seen this channel, but I dig it!
Great stuff!! Yeah i like this channel too.
Super cool episode, I had no idea what other states are doing with their dogs but that was very cool. Your channel is awesome.
Ghetto Dogg- Hot dog on sliced bread
I was just thinking about those! Dill Ryebread with spicy mustard, onions and sweet relish 😋
Now I want to take a road trip across America just to try all of these
Look up chilean completos.

As someone who now lives in Texas, man do I miss the Coneys of Michigan. While the Detroit Coney is pretty popular, there's also a Flint version which has a "dry" chili sauce which nixes the tomato sauce in favor of just stewing the beef in aromatics.
I'm a Toledo native also living in Texas now and missing both Toledo dogs and all of Michigan's various chili sauce styles 😩
Jackson style coney dogs also use a dry chili sauce that has beef heart as an ingredient.
@@BIGBLOCK5022006 Lmao
I miss em too. I asked someone at my work if they knew of any coneys in the area and he said “what the fuck is a coney?” And it cracked me up.
Flint coneys are way better. I say this as a TOTALLY unbiased Flint resident lol.
I'm from NC, slaw dogs are good, the sweetness of the slaw balanced out the spiciness of the chili. There's also a place called Paul's Place in Rocky Point that made their own relish and sold it in the grocery store....we used to put that on hot dogs all the time, with tater chips and a Cheerwine. 😋😊
My favorite American hotdog is the often ignored West Virginia dog. It is similar to the Carolina dog with Chili, Coleslaw AND chopped onion. Other toppings (ie: ketchup, relish, mustard, cheese, mayo, etc.) Are optional.
By far my favorite as well!
In northern North Carolina a hot dog ordered "All the way" has, in this order, mustard, chopped onion, chili and Cole slaw (mayonnaise based Cole slaw not the vinegar slaw we eat on pulled pork sandwiches). Delicious!
I was hoping for it to show up the whole video’
@@gavincrockett9521 I knew it never would because WV is more obscure and Carolina (and Cincinnati) is more famous. The WV dog is like a hybrid between those 2 other dogs.
If it doesn’t have slaw, it’s not a hot dog to me. 🌭
man, i loved this episode. Seeing different states takes on foods was one of my favorite things to watch as a kid on food network. This brought me right back.
This is like the Food network on CZcams. Just found this channel today and have been binge watching for a couple hours lol 😂
It really makes me proud to be American. Look at how dope we are.
Lots of variety all over the US. I love it!

I always knew of the famous hot dogs in Seattle as Seattle Dogs, so I was initially bummed to see something else made the list, Bagel Dogs. That is, until I saw how they were made with yummy cream cheese goodness, and at that point I realized they just went by another name I hadn't yet heard about. Sooo good! Really, this whole list makes me want to do a road trip around the states!
I would like to try ALL of them. But being from the Midwest the Chicago Dog is a favorite of mine as is the Cozy Dog corn dog from Cozy Dog in Springfield IL who also claims to be the original inventor. Also, one of the last places to serve foot long dogs is a little stand known as Carls in Brentwood Mo. I'm 74 and have been stopping by Carls for a footlong or two and a cold, frosty schooner of IBC root beer since I was 13. Closest thing to heaven without having to die first.
as a Maine native, I am beyond excited to see red hot dogs make the list.
And Humpty Dumpty chips (even though they're a Canadian company now)
The Danes have the same love for the red!

The restaurant they showed was Simones in Lewiston. Best hot dog in Maine.
I’m a little disturbed by them calling it a red snapper instead of a red hot.
Chicago dogs are definitely my favorite. Spending most of my time in Texas, there are mostly chili dogs but you can get a rare good Chicago dog from certain places. First time I went to Chicago, I immediately had to get one and it was amazing. A Chicago dog from Navy Pier is phenomenal
Look up Chicago Best and type hot dogs
Its like a big stupid salad. Worst hot dog ever.
@@psychonaut1829 ok boomer.
Don't be dissing on Chicago dogs, unless you like ketchup bottles shoved up your kiester.
Hot Doug's was the legend of Chicago. It is missed
can vouch for Cincinnati style coneys, Skyline is a potentially acquired taste for some but if you're one who usually leans towards heat/spicy foods, their habanero cheese is absolutely game changing
I've lived in the Cleveland area my whole life and I go down to Columbus/Cincinnati about 4 times a year on average. In the last year I finally had my very first order of Skyline conies. They did not disappoint. They're small too. I could've had like 4 of those things
My grandpa lives 45 minutes north of Spokane, Washington, but he grew up in Cincinnati and gets Skyline cans from Amazon delivered to his house cause he loves it so much.
I grew up in South Carolina, and as far back as I can remember my parents would make Carolina Dogs. So these are a must for a real Carolina dog, but I will say that the pink wiener is totally optional. It must have a nice chili with no beans, a coleslaw that can be creamy, but must have some vinegar in it, a nice yellow mustard and some chopped sweet Vidalia onions. I love almost all hotdogs, but the Carolina Dog in my opinion, when made right, is absolutely the best. There is also a Carolina burger that I grew up on as well that has the exact same ingredients, but obviously with a Cheeseburger or regular burger and instead of a hotdog. Wendy's actually sold a Carolina Burger for a limited time, and was pretty good, but the coleslaw needed more vinegar.
I don’t know what other foods you could do this series on, but I will watch every single episode. This is a great idea.

You forgot that Chicago has a second style of hotdogs called the Maxwell street polish. A Vienna beef polish grilled on the flattop served with caramelized onions, sauerkraut, and mustard on a steamed bun
A+ video!
Like a hot dog odyssey, LOVE IT.
My all-time favorite is the Maine red hot dog on a (pan fried) flat sided bun with some homemade Zucchini relish (a Maine recipe). Every time I go to Maine, I eat lots of Red hot dogs and usually bring a package of red-hot dogs back home in Las Vegas.
One of my favorite narrator voices. Dude deserves top of the line gigs. Dude very clearly nearly makes the channel.

The Cozy Dog Drive-in is in Springfield ILLINOIS. It's still open and worth a visit.

As an upstate New Yorker I was pleasantly shocked you included Hot Dog Charlie’s. Thank you!
Totally was not expecting Hot dog Charlie's to be on here that was totally awesome! Makes me miss NY a bit.
A place in my town offers dogs with bacon sauce, which is mostly crumbled cooked down bacon mixed in a slightly sweet and tangy sauce so it’s like a chili consistency. It’s amazing.
YUMM. ID LOVE TO GIVE YOU GAPE AFTER YOU EAT TWO OF THOSE
where might I find this place, good sir?
Sounds like the dressing on midwestern spinach salad, what town are you in?
Sounds similar to a sonaran style hots which are bacon wrapped
I LOVE New England style hot dog rolls. They always feel less bready and fresher/softer than side split.
for almost 40 years I thought that's just how hot dog buns were everywhere. I still can't fathom why you'd do it any other way. also, grill and butter them and they're an awesome way to serve tuna salad (or chicken salad, etc) and fried clam strips.
WOW, as in hotdiggitydog! The very best video on CZcams, combining perfect memories with rightnowgottahaveones! Thanks so very much from this Kosher doggie lover.
I'm a local for the Sonoran hotdogs, but I would gladly give these variants a try if possible, they all look so good!
me too all day. Bacon wrapped.
You live in AZ? Where? I’m from Tucson 🤠
@@chrismayer3919 Mexico actually lol.
@@chrismayer3919 Im born and raised here but grew up visiting Mexico during the summers. I would say Tucson has more places to eat Sonoran dogs than Sonora itself but they're really good over there, particularly on the Hermosilllo college campus I believe.
Sonoran dogs came from south Texas.

Hot Dog Charlie’s. That b/w photo is genius. Look at the guys in the back. So very classic.
I've never had a Chicago dog, but they definitely look the most appetizing to me out of all of these.
We don't all eat our dogs that way. I skip the peppers and pickle. And millions if us get regular relish not a neon
A Sabrett’s dog with spicy mustard and sauerkraut is a quintessential requirement of any visit to NYC.
Sabrett's > Nathan's. It's tragic that the rest of the country thinks Nathan's in the NY dog.

No they didn't, and their dog is flavorless and snapless garbage.
and don't forget the onion sauce! That'd be "da woiks". New York on a bun.
Cincinnati fellow here. The original "Cincinnati Chili" was a small restaurant called Empress Chili where the future owners of Skyline Chili and Camp Washington Chili both worked out of this restaurant at one time or another. Both restaurants do a variation of Empress Chili recipe. One more thing, I used to work at Skyline Chili as a teenager, and chocolate is used in the recipe, it's literally printed on the ingredients recipe sticker thats slapped onto the pre-made chili mix ingredient bag.
Man I miss me some Cincinnati Chili. I was just telling my boss about it yesterday.
and do not forget the second oldest Dixie Chili in Newport Ky opened in 1929 ..my personal favorite...
This is false. Chocolate has never been used in Skyline chili. I'm allergic to it and enjoy eating there. That myth came about when someone posted a copycat recipe in the Cincinnati Enquirer in the 70s-80s claiming to have cracked the code. They thought they discovered chocolate was giving it it's color, but were mistaken. That didn't stop every mother and grandmother from copying it down and putting it in their recipe box. So, now if you eat homemade Cincinnati chili from grandma's "secret recipe" you're really eating a failed copycat recipe from 40-50 years ago. It's why homemade tastes nothing like Skyline.
the secret ingredient is high fructose corn syrup lol
@@weiwu1442 There's no sweetener whatsoever in Cincinnati chili.
I can tell he really gets into the scene. Danger dogs are the TRUE name here in LA.
Or the Downtown LA hot dogs
You missed two of the best:
1. Heid's of Liverpool (Syracuse, NY). A hotdog so good, it is only topped with mustard. It's the same dog served at the HOF game in Cooperstown that announcers have said is the best they've ever had.
2. The Michigan... from Plattsburgh, NY. Made with Glazier's Red Hots.
This is a great story. We ran a Top Dog cart in DFW for years and brought in different hot dogs and buns from around the country. By far, the Chicago style was the most popular followed by a Texas chili dog. We only did catering jobs and were booked solid from Memorial Day through football season. We traveled to many different spots and a few of our favorites were the Skyline, Maxwell Polish, the Sonoran and the Detroit Coney. If you’re ever in Denver, a trip to Biker Jim’s is a treat as is Pink’s in LA. The ripper in NJ is also a great dog but the Italian served at Jimmy Buff’s was too much for us.
Chicago style and Maxwell Street Polish are the best!
That’s cuz chicago does it right. The only thing the city agrees on.
Chicago is one of the best due to how different it tastes. like 80% dogs listed here are nearly chili dogs.
No wonder Portillo's is kicking ass there now.
DFW?

That first shot of Rhode Island you show is from my hometown, just up the street from where I live, Main Street in West Warwick. I love when my little state and even smaller town gets noticed and gets a little love. My current gf actually used to live on the street behind that D'Angelo lol 😆. It's definitely not Providence by the way, that's about 12 miles to the north, West Warwick is in a different county all together than Providence, which is the Capitol.
As a North Carolinian, our dogs are staples here. But nothing can compete to a coney, (or the skyline dog, but I’ve always still heard them referred to as coneys by my mom who was raised there) all the way with Skyline Chili and Tabasco on top during a cold day. I was 8 when I had my first ever coney in Cincinnati. It was cold as hell outside, and I put Tabasco on top of those chili cheese and onions (I hated onions as a kid but this converted me) and I took a bite of my first ever real deal dog and fell in love. I’m 32 now and have chased that taste ever since. Coneys will always have a place in my heart.
Never heard anyone say “skyline dog” before. In Cinci we say “cheese coney”
THIS GUY GETS It!
Son of the sunny South here! Growing up in the 1970s, my mammy and pappy taught me that a hotdog ought to have mustard, chili and onions! NO ketchup! Today's Southerons - yes, that is a word - tend to embrace ketchup on their hotdog. Of all the things in our complicated and divisive history, I wish the South had remained firmly in the no ketchup column. Best wishes and a big thank you to our Northern neighbors in New York and Chicago who embrace other, more exotic ingredients, but still remain firmly committed to no ketchup!
Amen
"Complicated and divisive history" is a hell of a phrase, lol.
And I say that as a southerner.
I am delighted to find you guys have other channels!
The Detroit style Coney Dog was missing a few key ingredients besides just the no beans Greek style chili. It should also have yellow mustard and finely chopped onions. Preferably served on a Koegels Vienna dog. 😋
Exactly! I live near Flint and they ask me if I want beans or not. I just say "no" or "gross".
Im pretty sure every image had yellow mustard and onions.
In Puerto Rico we have our own version of the water dog, it comes with ground beef stew, mashed potatoes, cheese sauce, ketchup, and your choice of the disgusting topping (mustard,onions,relish, etc)
The only thing disgusting coming out of the PR are mashed under seasoned plantains 👌

When you showed the D'Angelo's for RI Weiner dogs I used to live the next street over and walked and grew up right there. If you follow main street up a little bit more you get to the towns own New york system. I spent so many years growing up biking around those streets grabbing some food for pretty cheap and then getting on the bike path that ran right next to it down to the skate park.
The Rhode Island Hot Weiner is the one I want to try the most. It definitely most resembles the Aussie Snag which is what I'm accustomed to. We do ours on regular white bread with fried onions and usually ketchup.
tomato sauce you mean!! although here in oz ketchup is slowly catching on, i preffer it
Gotta try those bacon wrapped hotdogs to level up your experience!sonaran style is God tier
as a native Rhode Islander, I HIGHLY recommend these
I love your channel almost as much as I love hotdogs

During the Great Depression, Chicago style dogs where the only way many people could get their vegetables. The Red Snapper is called Saveloy in England.
the white hots of upstate new york are amazing as well, especially when topped with the meat hot sauce of rochester, which makes me hope that you guys do a video on garbage plates at some point
I come from the Syracuse area originally, and we call them "coneys" - but yep, I grew up with the white hot dogs.
Nick Tahoe’s all the way!
Go further east and you get Michigan dogs/red hots in Plattsburgh. So many good dogs on New York.

@@bellasmith7283 i believe there are a few brands out there that i don't recall the names of, but I am referring to the hot sauce you would typically find on garbage plates, of which i think there are a couple recipes for online as well
Many of these look amazing. Chicago style is one of my favorites.
My favorite is the New York Dirty water hot dog. But i can understand how so many love the Chicago Hot Dog. I had my first Chicago Dog at Wrigley Field and it was amazing.
I love Chicago dogs. I will definitely try the Serano dogs, the Ruben dog, the fish cake dog, and a few others. One of my favorites that I had in Augusta Georgia there is the Mexican Perro. Fried hotdog with queso sauce, chorizo, jalapeños, onions, bacon, hot sauce, and French fries
Thanks for including the Alaska reindeer sausage on your list!
I had that bagel dog when I was in seattle! I didn't even realize I was getting a special hot dog. It's cool to actually find this stuff IRL without specifically looking for it and have it confirmed here
This was very well produced. How interesting, fun and informative! Thanks.
I’m a San Franciscan - danger dogs are also a staple of the Mission district. They are heavenly. The best way to order them is “todo” (with every thing.) sooo good!!
I love Chicago dogs and i even hate mustard but for those ill eat it lol.
Oh and i highly recommend checking out CozyDog in Springfield IL. Theyre similiar but different from corn dogs. They're worth it. The recipe is just different. Youll probably like them better then corn dogs. I personally do. Theyre a tourist staple in Springfield.
You guys got that wrong. Its Springfield Illinois.....I live in Illinois and go there all of the time and they tell the history. I know the history well because I'm a nerd with this lol.
Was born in Springfield have eaten at Cozy Dog many times..
As a person who has lived in Seattle my whole life. The Seattle Dog was new to me about 20 years ago, in the early 2000’s. Ate one on our way into a Mariner’s game. But have since seen them as a staple after a night out in downtown Seattle!! The true form is in a bagel style bread with cream cheese. But a Kaiser roll is also except-able
Acceptable, but that sounds good
i'd give it a try with flavored cream cheese
Westlake Park has a stand called "Dog in the Park" where my co-workers and I go for lunch once in a while :)
Missed Casey's Corner on Main Street Walt Disney World, Lake Buena Vista, FL and their ever-changing seasonal dogs! Purple mustard for Halloween? Eek! Great segment, cheers.
You missed the boat on the New England Hot dogs. We have two kinds, the ordinary one, the one served on a lobster roll like "bun" called a "hot dog roll" with yellow mustard, sweet relish and chopped union with the roll toasted. The other is called a Coney Island hot dog. This is the one you described as "New York System". These first showed up in Fall River, MA, in 1915 at a place callled Geroge's with yellow mustard Greek sauce and and a big topping of finely chopped onions on a regular hot dog bun. In 1920 Nick came up from Philly and opend Nick's Coney Island" on Main street (Rt 138 MA) . For some 58 years, this set the standard for Coney's. n 1948, King Phillip Lunch opened up selling this kind of dog and in 1966 Fa-Neek's Hot Dogs opened on Plymouth Ave. There were several also rans like Tex Barry's, Jerry's and the top dog of the North End, Roger's. Now, all I know of in the South end are Nick's, which has or had a website, Fe-Neeks' and a relatively newcomer, and my favorit, JJ's hot dog which is the typical Coney in this city; yellow mustard, sauce (usually of the owners creation) and finely chopped onions. I had my first hot dog in 1951 at the age of 5 at the Tiverton, RI Lions Club Carnival and it's been a love affair ever since. Nowadays in faFall River you can get coney's in more places than "regular" hot dogs. The best of the regualrs I ever had was at the A&W on Townsend Hill on South Man St which closed in 2003 or 4. Winnesimett on Stafford Rd in Tiverton, RI was one of the last places I know of that sold Foot-long hot dogs, which I first had in 1956 at a diner near where I used to live on Main Rd, RT 138 RI Tiverton RI. When I saw that thing coming in my direction, I was blown away. In the backfround, my uncle John had fed the jukebox and it was playing THE FLYING SAUCER: pT1. I was 10 or 11 and all was right with the world. I guess hot dogs ar the "all's right with the world" food. I'm 78 and just can't see the hubbub over the burger, for me, the hot dog is the All-American fun on a bun
as a chicagoan, im happy to see jimmy’s red hots being featured for a second
I've had my own variation of a chili dog that probably shows its roots pretty strongly: a grilled toploader bun, either a Syracuse coney (white hot dog!) or an all-beef hot dog, a chili sauce, Tabasco and fine-shredded Cheddar.
ooooo that sounds so good, im from Tucson and make a variation of the Sonoran Dog
Yummy 😋
Sounds pretty good . But pls explain to me what a white hot dog is ?
@@eegee2442 Literally that. It's a hot dog that is white.

Chili cheese dogs and
Huntington West Virginia’s Stewart’s hot dogs as well, those are my favorites.
I like other dogs, but these two are my hometown comfort foods that I go for immediately when I’m with family.
Never heard them called ”Danger Dogs” before but you can find them all over San Diego county as well. A lot of the carts feature home made tamale and elote as well.
Carolina Dogs are amazing. Meaty chili, cheese, and a cool slaw all work so well together. Throw some pickled jalapenos into the mix to spice things up. The bagel dogs might be the best thing to ever come from Seattle. I've never had a Reuben Dog, but it's my favourite sandwich, so I imagine it'd be really good
I have over 40 different hot dog reviews on my channel. I’m trying the brands more so than the styles. But some of these look delicious.

You need to add Glaziers to your NYS dogs. They're from Potsdam.
And if you're headed up that way, you might as well go to Plattsburgh and get a Michigan hot dog.
Chicago style is my all time favorite but that chili coleslaw dog looked good AF

so many chili dogs. i work at a mom n pop hot dog shop in chicago and we have a range of specialty dogs named after different breeds (golden retriever has mac n cheese, shredded cheddar and crushed up ritz crackers. chubby pug has bacon bbq and carmalized onion ect) and i loved watching this. always lookin for new ideas!
No "volcano dogs", that many here in Pittsburgh like? It's just a chili dog with lots of Frank's RedHot sauce and crushed red pepper flakes. With or without onions, it's pretty yummy. 🌭😋👌
No anything with onions🤮 is never yummy
@@kristiskinner8542 To each their own, that's your opinion. :P
@@kristiskinner8542 yeah if you have the taste buds of a 5 year old
@@kristiskinner8542 Are you kidding? Double up on the onions.
@@kristiskinner8542 Obviously for you, but I can't imagine a world without onions.
The Seattle cream cheese and grilled onions sounds strange, but from a native, trust me it's super good and you should give it a try -- especially after a few drinks!
Sad to report I also live in this state, but personal opinions aside....yes....it works soooo well. I love them.
It's a top notch combo. Proud that we've got such a solid dog to put on the list.
I be absolutely blasted after the clubs and the Seattle dog just hits different past 2am
History of baked beans would be interesting. I know the US has some interesting types of beans that vary widely, and I have to imagine the world would have equally, if not more interesting takes.
Great show!
I dont know about all that but BEANS
All-beef Nathan’s- Sabrett- Dirty Dogs- Chicago Dogs. Just sauerkraut- spicy mustard- and I’m happy. Some of the dogs presented are absolutely “gut-wrenching!” No chili - absolutely no cream cheese!! I’m still in mourning over the closure of Old Original Levis’s on 6th Street in Philadelphia. As a kid - we could walk there from my grandmom’s house!! Absolute best! Sadly, after the older family members passed- younger family opted to sell it to an outsider. It wasn’t the same and died soon after!
I'm from RI, and the "hot wiener" is our style. It's sort of depicted in this video at 10:34, but chefs traditionally load a row of hotdogs onto their arms for saucing. I mean, they're standing right in front of you with a row of buns all the way up their hairy, bare arms moments before serving you. In recent years, they've cut back on this tradition (probably for sanitary reasons), but they still do it a bit. I've heard stories of people getting skeeved out and refusing to eat.
Thanks for showing footage of Kansas City that doesn't make it look like a bunch of farms. That tends to be the default stock footage in other videos/shows/movies. Outside of KC, sure, there is no shortage of agriculture, but the city itself is decidedly urban.
In Cumberland Maryland where my dad came from there is a Coney Island dog restaurant that is famous city wide and I remember fondly. The restaurant is called Curtis’s and opened in 1919.
Another Maine native here...grew up on the Snappy Dogs...spent time in NOVA eating half Smokes....one you missed which is a great one is the Michigan Red Hot from Plattsburg NY.
My first job when I was 16 was at Hot Dog Charlie's at a local mall. We served only hot dogs (small, regular and "big Charlie's", which were foot long) and soda. Also rice pudding for dessert. Nothing else. At the time (1989) that location had the highest sales than any other location. There were half a dozen open at that time. Christmas is when the most $ was brought in because the mall, Crossgates was the most popular in the area....😁
Hot dog Charlie’s will always be a massive part of my childhood. Love it so much
Damn! I want a hotdog now lol this has inspired me to take hotdog road trip tour across the US
Start a facebook page if you do it so others can watch the journey
DC half smokes are called that because it's a combination of two meats. It has nothing to do with being cut in half, because not everybody cuts it in half. Also, Ben's Chili bowl is just a tourist trap. Much better options out there that won't raise your blood pressure. I highly recommend you try the DC half smoke or Mumbo sauce wings if you haven't already.
The toledo packos became very famous from an episode of Mash Jaime Farr (Klinger ) mentioned the famous establishment as he claimed was the best hotdog in the world and ordered some to be sent to Korea It's a great episode
So my mom grew up a block or 2 from Coney island, So whenever we visited my grandparents we always walk to Nathan's hot dogs. And to me that is the top tier hot dog experience. Just something about a nice snap of the skin and the how they served it will always remain in my memories.
I like the Chicago and Cincinnati styles a bunch, though I've never been to either city!
Really surprised you included alaska in this. Felt good and yes those reindeer dogs are good asf
I think its worth mentioning Flint Mi has its own version of the Coney, it has a "dry" beef coney sauce instead of Detroits chili style. It also has to be a Koegel brand hot dog of course.
Love our carolina dogs, in SC we don’t normally have the signature red dogs but they’re still delicious. When ordering we typically state we’d like a dog all the way with slaw, all the way meaning, chili, mustard and diced white onion. The key is the slaw and chili, everyone around where I live has slight variations on both but they’re all quite delicious.
I'm from NC and the Bright Leafs are ok...nothing too special. BUT you're correct about the chili and slaw! You could get a hotdog from 5 different places and all 5 would taste different! And probably all awesome haha.
This is a really good video. I had no idea there were that many types of hot dogs. I knew all of the main ones but this was unexpected. I can’t sleep and now I want a hot dog. But if I could pick any of those, I would have a hard time picking one. I try not to eat them very often but sometimes you just need a hot dog. Shout out to my mom who loved corn dogs.
I'll be cooking four hot dogs at home today or tomorrow. Here's how this show happens. I put four hot dog buns on a plate. I put the four weiners, with holes punched in them with a fork, in a pot of boiling water. I add taco seasoning and black pepper in to the water. In a pan I start heating two cans of chili sauce and add chopped sweet onions to it. I use a squeeze bottle of mustard and liberally fill the buns with mustard. When the weiners are ready I put one in each bun. Then all four hot dogs get absolutely covered with the chil sauce and chopped onions. The entire plate is covered so it's necessary to use a fork. Sometimes I'll put shredded cheese on top but this time I might use sauerkraut. I live in Texas but many of the hot dogs you showed looked good.
Me & my wife used to go to Jimmy Buffs in West Orange NJ because we lived around the corner we loved having it for lunch
