I like a hot dog with French Fries.....

One lovely and important variation, which you practically have to live there to discover, is a cucumber slice. It's usually in place of the dill pickle slice, but I've had them with both.

I don't think I've ordered a hot dog in a restaurant since I was 5 years old....there was a drug store in town with a lunch bar and the hot dogs were in a machine stuck on spikes and spinning around while they cooked.....it was fascinating to order one and watch the waitress pull yours off the spike with the bun in her hand....

Now I like to bake my hot dogs with some cheese salsa spread on them....for flavor...

Yes I am sophisticated that way.

Hot dogs and cucumbers? What next - hot dogs and avocados?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #64 on:** September 11, 2018, 07:14:03 AM »

Heaven forfend, DR Jrand68! And I love avocados.

The cucumber is part of the entire package of flavors. It's wonderful.

One thing the Vienna Beef blurbs fail to mention is that the hot dog should be one with natural casing, for that bit of 'pop' when you bite into it. Not to mention, it should be a really good flavorful one. You could do without the natural casing, but make sure you get a quality torpedo.

And don't forget the sprinkle of celery salt. SO important. The finishing touch.

I haven't ordered a hot dog in a restaurant in a long time either, DR Jrand68. When would the last time have been? I really don't know.

Yes, I do know. Several years back, at this wonderful 1940s/1950s drive-in jernt here that still does car-hop service. I was sitting inside at the counter, about to order my standard wonderful cheeseburger, when I decided to try their hot dog for the first time in maybe twenty years. It was okay, but nothing to repeat or write home about.

And I did try the Chicago "style" one at Shake Shack several years ago. They had the basics more or less down, but it lacked a couple of things that I forget now. Stick to the burgers there, I pray you.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #67 on:** September 11, 2018, 07:19:32 AM »

But those two are still fast food places, even though I was inside, sitting down. Not a deli or other kind of actual restaurant.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #68 on:** September 11, 2018, 07:29:57 AM »

Well, I think we've had about enough of me and my hot dogs.

They recently redesigned the area around the train station. Where there used to be parking there are now shops and apartments, right next to the trains, because who doesn't want a train rumbling past their bedroom window. The parking lots were "conveniently" located about 1/2 mile away across two busy streets and on the far side of the apartments

TOD:
Grilled is so much better than boiled. Mark and I really love the outdoor vendors who grill hot dogs outside after shows we attend. I know street vendors are very common in New York, but in Los Angeles they're a rarity, so to find a hot dog vendor is a real treat. We like it when they wrap them in bacon and put grilled bell peppers and onions on them.

Vibes for DR JANE.

DR AMY is correct.....grilled is best....but I still like oven baked over boiled dogs

So I baked my hot dogs for lunch today...Salsa dogs....

My DH, who is from Chicago, occasionally takes me to the local Chicago hot dog stand. They are good, but I don't go with him very often.

I can't remember if the song was in The High and the Mighty or not. But I loved the movie and went back many times during that initial run.

Fast food: Nathan's hot dogs. There's a place in Penn Station near where the big timetable used to be, that are especially tasty. (I hope it's not for some unhealthy reason.)

On a slightly classier level, I really enjoy Schnippers hot dog, especially with cheese.

Love a face full of frozen custard
To have a hot dog with sand and mustard
And ride the Ferris Wheel
Oh, honey, ‘cause that’s how young I feel!
