The best dogs anywhere are the ones you get at Yankee Stadium in September – they’ve been in there since opening day…. I get ‘em loaded with mustard & kraut – FANTASTIC!!!!!

My mom used to make hot dog spiders, Ranger J. She would make them every Halloween when we were growing up and serve them on macaroni and cheese. What mac and cheese has to do with Halloween is beyond me, but there you go.

Why would anyone buy an Octodog? Let along pay $16 for it!? Just use a knife and then cook.

I’m not 100% certain about this, but from what I noticed and was told when I was studying in Germany and Austria, the German’s call the hotdog a Wiener (as in someone from Wien) and the Austrian’s call the same sausage a Frankfurter (as in someone from Frankfurt). I could never figure out if this was a dig or not as I found both sausages delicious!

The Chicago Hot Dog: Vienna All-Beef Frank, diced tomatoes, onions, pickle, relish, mustard on a Mary Ann poppy seed bun. And the piece de resistance: a sprinkle of celery salt… ketchup belongs on a burger, but is acceptable on dogs if you’re under 10 years old!

That octodog is creepy!!!!!

I LOVE NATHAN’S HOT DOGS!!!!!

I work at Costco and people go nuts for our hot dogs. Being that they’re Hebrew National and only cost $1.64 with a drink. Can’t beat that for lunch!

I think it would have been interesting to note a few more types of hot dogs and their popularity in various parts in the US. Here in the South,a “pink” hot dog is #1.

I agree with Tamsyn, the octodog is unnecessary. My boyfriend taught me how to cut the two ends of the dogs in quarters. You then cook them over a campfire and the ends curl and crisp up nicely. We call them “spider dogs” because they have eight “legs” (4 on each end).

Mmmm any hot dog in Vienna – I loved how they hollow out the inside and stick the sausage in. And if anyone’s in Moscow, used to love Stardogs! Sadly, have never had the chance to have a real American hot dog… (Btw, that’s what we call them here in NZ if they’re in a bun – American hot dogs. Just ‘Hot dog’ is what you guys call corn dogs)

now that I’m vegetarian and in las vegas, I can’t really enjoy hot dogs like I did in chicago- my favorite hot dogs by far.

my favorite spread?
poppy bun, hot (veggie) dog, ketchup,
mayo, mustard, relish, and cheddar cheese.

mmmmmmmmm.
