Beef, kraut, good spicy mustard, no not guldens I mean sinus draining spicy! The kind where they don’t put the acid in right away. English style on steroids. Also good on soft pretzels, Brats and ‘kraut, well okay I go for pretty much any wurst (except liverwurst, and not sure about blutwurst) with ‘kraut and spicy mustard, potatoes optional, though in the absence of potatoes there does need to be bread.

Oh, and chili on the dog is best with Cincinnati style chili, onions and shredded cheddar. The cheese melts nicely just over the chili and you get the nice texture and temperature variety with the unmelted cheese on top.

Beef. Chili, cheese and cole slaw. It’s great! Try it.

I’m with Bob- pure beef, bun, brown mustard, sauerkraut. If eating it doesn’t clear your sinuses, it’s not a proper hot dog experience.

In a backyard-grill pinch where there is no sauerkraut- ketchup and mustard.

Nathan’s pure beef hot dogs. Slather a potato roll bun with ketchup and Gulden’s spicy brown, and lay the hawt dawg on top.

Relish is the snot of de debbil. Particularly sweet relish.

Both Hebrew National and Nathans Kosher dogs have SEVEN (7)to a package/lb. The dog gets the extra bun.

Hebrew fricken’ National.

God, did Shannon the Gunsmithing Gourmet teach you nothing?

Vienna by choice (hard to find here) or Hebrew National as a close second. Both kosher all-beef. I’d rather a bun with a bit more firmness than a standard bun, but that isn’t critical.

Beef, bun, brown mustard, sauerkraut. I haven’t owned a bottle of ketchup in years, and have no plans to do so.

Beef. Ketchup. Done. I know, I’m uncultured.

And I don’t remember the last time I saw buns packed anything other than eight to a package, bringing bun-dog parity.
