Costco used to have the best hot dogs in the world and they were huge! But, they have switched brands and now Sam's Club has the best hot dogs in the world! Portillo's jumbo beef is a very close second, and their fries are wonderful.
I love hot dogs. Always have; always will. Don't try to scare me or influence me otherwise; I remain unmoved. While my condiments have changed over the years, my love is true.
The perfect hot dog has Dijon or brown mustard, chopped onions, and sweet pickle relish--no ketchup, no sauerkraut, no celery seeds, tomatoes, or cucumbers. But, if you must remain sociable you can skip the onions and still savour the experience.
There are many really bad hot dogs. Probably the absolute worst hot dogs were those served on a corner near my growing up home at The Velvet Freeze. They were 5 for $1.00 and they were bland and served on a squishy white tasteless bun.
Ballpark dogs have the reputation of being a necessity, but the best ballpark food has to be in Baltimore's Camden Yards. It's a spectacular stadium and they have BBQ ribs and crab cakes and the best lemonade! We visited during the last days of Nolan Ryan and the stadium was packed. Even my die-hard Cub fan had a wonderful time.
Corn dogs! I almost forgot corn dogs. So hot they burn your tongue and dipped just in mustard. You have to go to a state fair to really experience a corn dog. We've tried them at home and at shopping malls, but it is no contest. It takes the heat and raunchiness of a state fair to give corn dogs their appropriate flavor and ambiance.
Bagel dogs? Forget about it! Those are not bagels! And, the hot dog in the middle is just not good.
Keep it pure and make it a Best Kosher or Vienna Beef and you really have something worth the risk!
