    I grew up in CT. Ketchup mustard onion relish with a split top bun. Preferably grilled. Those Vienna dogs are not bad, but they are not good either. I think we may need a hot dog thread. 
    Vienna are the best I've had.

    Yes. Im from Chicago, but I have traveled all 48 continental states and have had a few hot dogs from many of them. I also have had 2 heart surgeries to prove it. 

    I have yet to taste a hot dog that is better than Vienna. Please tell me which ones you think are better. I will order online and have them shipped to me. Seriously. I'll give em a taste. K

    Hummel brothers from New Haven CT. Rosols from New Britain CT. Or try a natural casing Boars Head, all beef or frankfurters. Like many great foods, it is a regional thing. My complaint about Vienna is that it is always steamed or boiled. I know many think of Chicago as a hot dog capitol, but CT has a spot in the top 5.

    EDIT: CT also has the best pizza in the country. With a nod to Chicago. 
    I will second the natural casing Boars Head. I buy those more often than Nathans.  I would also find the original Nathans too though if you can.  I usually get them from Nathans rather than cook them myself but I hardly ever go to Nathans anymore.
    I never see Nathans natural casing dogs at the market. Always skinless. But those onions are a staple in our fridge. Their restaurants are terrible IMHO.
    Whats terrible about them?  They make hot dogs.  Kind of hard to mess that up, lol.

    I agree with the natural casing and finding them.  It's why I just buy the Boarshead.

    You gotta have that snap!

    Dirty places. There is a balance between age, grime and charm. The Nathans outside of Coney Island do not have it. They sold out. I prefer a papaya dog 100 times over.
    I meant buying a casing Nathans in a store.  They have them in Oceanside where I used to live.  That snap is what makes them.

    What Nathans doesn't have the snap dogs?  It's not a Nathans then...

    Where I live I never see natural casing Nathans in the market. Always skinless. And I am in NY. If I cannot find the natural casing boars head then I go with sabretts or bests. Has anybody put wieners on a pizza? I have.  

    One of my preferred pizza places has a spicy hot dog pizza. It's pretty good! Tomato base, mozza, split beef hot dogs, green and red peppers, banana peppers, and a honey mustard drizzle. 
    When I was stationed in Germany, there was a pizza place in Kaiserslautern that made American style pizzas. They were not afraid to be adventurous. Some were better than others, but the hot dog pizza was awesome. It had slices of hot dog, fried onions, ketchup and mustard. They also had little pizza rolls that were filled with hot dog, cheese, mustard and pickle.

    Really good. Detroit style but a bit lighter than I’m used to. Not sure if my local place just makes it thicker than this or if maybe Moto doesn’t use the traditional heavy brick cheese. The fact that it’s lighter just means I can eat 2 different varieties per visit 😆.

    Only the garlic dipping sauce for me and that was from Papa Johns when I lived out in PA years ago.  I'm wondering how bad that was for me now too, lol.

    Yes, you can put loads of stuff on it.  They would likely put cream on it but you might have to bring it with you and ask them.  ;)  
    We also have places where you can ask them to batter and deep fry everything.
    We eat horribly, as a society, in America.  A large % of people eat fast "food" daily ir at least weekly.   That shit is poison.
    Mediterranean food is much better for you, as much as we like to give you grief about jizzy pizza.
    (I dont eat fast "food")
