best way to cook a hot dog?

Mugen910 · 01-07-2009, 09:27 AM

Boiled with beer and then toast the bun and throw some American cheese on it.

Either in cooked beer or grilled.

Man you GOTTA grill 'em! Get that nice crusty char on the outside with all the flavor then top it off with some chili and cheese. mmmmmmmm tasty!

The best hot dogs, by the way: Zweigles Hots. Hands down, no contest.

Grilled and topped with chili, ketchup, dill relish, and graded cheddar cheese.

Either grilled outside or fried on the stove in a little olive oil. Well done in either case and served on a steamed roll with mustard and chipotle relish or some home made green tomato relish. Ideally the hot dog should be Old Neighborhood meat franks.

Cooked 'til the ends split and the skin gets a little blackened. I like ketchup and dijon mustard, and onion if it's there. And a toasted bun.

If it were a sausage, I'd be with you guys on the 'mustard only', but not for a hot dog.

Agreed. No mustard on my dog.

I am surprised that nobody mentioned wrapping a hot dog in bacon and cooking under the broiler.

I like mine over an open fire, wood fire.

Then topped with fried onion, jalapenos, and hot mustard.

An Ice Cold Bass, or Cremore Springs Lager.

Ok now I am hungry

doctorcue · 01-07-2009, 10:52 AM

Steamed preferably. If not, on the grill. Then... just ketchup & mustard. Otherwise you can't actually taste the dog.

There's a place here that sells "belly buster" dogs, at least 1/4 lb each. Grill those bad boys until they start to split, be sure the skin is charred. Hook these up on some soft toasted hogie style rolls. Top the dog with mustard, little relish, raw onions, sauerkraut, chili, and finally top it with cheese. Yea, baby!!!

Up here in New England there is a company that makes what is called a Pearl Country Club Frank. It is an all beef frank, kosher and has that wonderful snap that is hard to find anymore. Once a year Eddie Andelman, one of the local sports mavens does a promotion to raise funds for cystic fybrosis and calls it the Hot Dog Safari. For about a month before the Safari Pearl makes a quarter pound (might have the sound too small) frank that is sold by one of the local chains with all of the profits going to the Joey Fund (CF). This event has turned into a tremendous fund raiser and has gotten so big that it is now held at Suffolk Downs which is a local horse track.

Don't forget the roll of paper towels for cleaning up while eating and roll of toilet paper for cleaning up after eating.

elderboy02 · 01-07-2009, 01:14 PM

I like mine cooked on the grill partially burned. I then put it on a hot dog bun with a ton of ketchup.

smokeyandthebandit05 · 01-07-2009, 07:06 PM

On the grill with guldens mustard and sauerkraut. Only way to me

Make that an all beef hotdog or thumans dog with the sauerkraut and guldens piles ontop....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Starscream · 01-07-2009, 08:50 PM

Blackened on the grill.

acarr · 01-07-2009, 10:21 PM

I like them cooked any way possible. Once the relish, onions and mustard are on it you can hardly tell the difference. I also like the chili cheese dogs if it is good chili.

ucla695 · 01-07-2009, 09:48 AM

Definitely grilled or fried – either way well done. Topped with Dijon or spicy mustard, fried onions, maybe some relish and some type of hot peppers (Il Primo Giardiniera works well) or a combination thereof.
