Okay, I'll play ...

I treat them similarly  to brats ... simmered (not boiled) in slightly salted water and then lightly pan fried in a skillet or under a the broiler unless I crank up the grill.  The get some color/texture but no burn marks.  Boar's Head Beef Franks with the natural casings are six kinds of awesome.  Garnish with homemade chili, deli mustard, and some crumbled bacon and I'm a happy carnivore.  Steamed buns are my favorite way to go ...

Serve with iced sweet tea or a cold beer, some German potato salad or fries with malt vinegar and call it a day.

I like them on the pellet grill. If weather is crappy, the air fryer does a great job.

Store bought. Hebrew National.

If we were back in So-Cal.......Costco All Beef.

Finally diced yellow onion and yellow mustard.

I can usually chuck down around 4 or 5 .

I like them anyway I can cook them, but one of my favorite way is to split them in half and pan sear them on a HOT cast iron skillet.    If you push on them a little they even squeal   ??? ??? ???

It was my Pops that did the wonder bread sammies with hot dogs.

He also liked iceberg lettuce and peanut butter sandwiches.  They were actually really good.

Best store bought : Nathan's and sabberrettes ( tied )
Best way to cook : saberett- boiled , Nathan's on flat top griddle
Best hot dog joint : rutts hutt in Clifton nj, close second is holy dog Middletown ny
Best drink to go with dog: coke

My favorite homemade is to pan fry a Nathan's and top with a line each of ketchup,mustard,and mayo. Than on top of that put finely chopped cabbage and onions and broken up potato chips.

Oh and the dogs gotta be natural casing or forget it

Well, I start with a preventative antacid, then a Nathan's quarter pound beef dog, Steamed in dark beer, on a steamed bun (smeared with salsa con queso), a line of CYM and ketchup, and just a touch of tomato & pepper relish. I'll eat two of those, or three if I'm really hungry, along with canned pork & beans, potato chips, and three Modelo Especials (or Dos Equis, which ever I have the coldest  :D :D :D).

Some of the best dogs I ever had were at a little hole in the wall looking place called "The Dog House" on Route 66 in Albuquerque, NM.  They split them open, sprinkle with a spice mix and grill them up on a large grill. Place in a grilled bun, topped with NM style chili and onions.  Cheese is optional.  The 2 weeks we were working there, I think we ate at The Dog House nearly every day for lunch.  It's on my list of places to visit again one day.  We ate there before the place became famous after appearing on "Breaking Bad".  The locals turned us on to it.  If you go there, also get the green chilies on your dog!  I wish you could find the ingredients as those would be worth making at home (even if I had to make the meat for the dog).

While Pinks hot dog stand in West Hollywood is legendary, a little 4 store chain in the San Fernando Valley in Southern California is my dog of choice.

Cupids Hot Dogs. They only served hot dogs. Yellow mustard, diced yellow onion and a chili gravy that was just too good. We would lick the gravy off of the wrapper, I mean it was that good.

People wait in line daily at lunch time. I think there are only two locations left. Since 1946.

Here is the link. The picture of the store on the main page was where Pops took us. Sadly, the lease ran out on the land and that location is gone.

If you have the extra coin, they will ship them to you. Details are on the site.........one day............

   Fried in a skillet is awfully good.  I'm not to picky as long as they are of good quality.   Fried and wrapped in a piece of fried bologna on white bread with mayo is certainly one of my favorites.
  But the best way is with a bunch of kids, family or friends over a campfire out in the woods near a sweet smelling creek with the buns toasted a little dark.  Mayo, mustard , some sweet pickles or pile some Slawsa on there. The combination of the environment, campfire, friends and the toasty dog and bun are just great.
