    Among the shittiest hot dogs on the market. It’s Nathan’s or Hebrew National, everything else is garbage.

      Nathan’s make me extremely sick because they are sweetened with sorbitol.

        Huh, thanks for this. I have family that swears by them, but they also make me sick. I didn’t realize they had sorbitol. I had wondered why their brand was so disagreeable to me.

      There are places in the USA where you can find smaller, more local hot dog makers.

      The best I’ve had are Hippey’s Franks from Denver, Pennsylvania.

          So much better than Hebrew National, Ballpark, Nathan’s or any national brand. Bigger, more and better flavor.

            Well I just need to road trip a couple thousand miles and get a good dog. It’s been YEARS.

              I don’t think it’s just a US east coast thing. See if there are any local butchers near you and check out what they sell. Or, look for local, independent meat companies.

                We don’t have indie butchers or meat companies near, anymore, but I’m going out of town in a couple of weeks so I’ll see if where I’m going does. They probably do.

        Hot Dogs can be pork, chicken or beef, or even a combination. Hebrew National is all beef. I prefer all beef wieners myself.
