NYC hotdog cart dogs are boiled and gray and make the buns soggy. I ate them same as anybody, mostly when I was in college and in too much of a rush to go to my usual Greek diner.

Chicago dogs are quality but it's like eating a salad.

At home, I have to be sneaky as my girlfriend hates me even bringing them into her kitchen. She's Boston Italian and eats pizza 19 times a week, but she thinks hot dogs are basically cancer.

I score mine, prefer a potato roll, and use a spicy mustard. Sometimes saurkraut. That's it.

Yeah since I’ve lived in Chicago and now the PNW I’m partial to the Chicago and Seattle dog. Montreal one is pretty underrated.

Georgia, where I lived twenty years, has a huge hotdog culture between the Varsity in Atlanta and Nu-Way Weiner in Macon. They use pork though. The Nu-Way links are dyed red and the chilli they top it with has cinnamon. Not my fave.
