Fried in a frying pan......yuhhhhhhhhhmeeeee!! :D

Like chili on my dog's!

Re: best way to cook a hot dog?
 

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

:tpd::tpd:

Either in cooked beer or grilled.

Re: best way to cook a hot dog?
 

in order

griddle grilled
bRoiled- yeah, in the toaster oven
steamed

boiling takes alot of the flavor out...

best dogs IMO are hebrew national... I prefer a beef frank to a pork mix... followed closely by Groten Wiggle, a brand that is made locally and the owner is one of my customers.

mustard only... everything else is nonsense...unless youre in Chicago, then you eat it chicago style, on a poppyseed bun, with neon green relish, and all the rest

occasionally when the mood strikes, melted american cheese

Re: best way to cook a hot dog?
 

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.

Re: best way to cook a hot dog?
 

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.:ss

Klements from Milwaukee IMO. Amazing. I love em grilled as well. I think the perfect hot dog would be steamed hot and then grilled just enough to put on a the grill marks and impart a little extra flavor. I top them a lot of ways. I really enjoy a full Chicago dog - the sweet relish, or a classic chili cheese dog, or my wifes favorite (which is a little weird) ketchup and mayo. When I'm not messing around with all of the condiments for a Chicago or Chili dog I lean toward yellow mustard, a little ketchup, & diced onions.

Re: best way to cook a hot dog?
 

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. :D



Ooh. I've had these, but they sound delicious. :dr

Re: best way to cook a hot dog?
 

Personally, hot dogs are best cooked over an open flame (i.e. on a stick over a fire). I then like to top them with Dennison’s meat chili, grated cheddar cheese and onions.

I’m pretty sure Pink’s in LA steams their dogs and buns, they make the best hot dogs. Bar none.

Re: best way to cook a hot dog?
 

They do. I saw them on Food Network.

Re: best way to cook a hot dog?
 

No way to eat a dog except grilled. And I can't believe TripleF didn't mention Zweigle's.

Grill them till they pop open, quick slice and insert your cheese and back on the grill until melted.

Mustard, onion, and relish.

Done.

Edit: Boston Mark nailed the Zweigle's.

If you ever make it out there Justin, they have some awesome dogs.

This is what I always get:

MULLHOLLAND DRIVE DOG - 10" STRETCH dog grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, nacho cheese & bacon.

:dr

Re: best way to cook a hot dog?
 

Grilled until they just start to burn, add mustard, onions and relish and you're done. Don't forget to toast the buns on the grill as well.

Re: best way to cook a hot dog?
 

Anything with onions, mushrooms, cheese, and bacon can't be bad. :cb

Great now I'm craving a hot dog.

Re: best way to cook a hot dog?
 

Yeah, me too. :dr

Re: best way to cook a hot dog?
 

Ok. I'm hungry.



Dogs at Rizzle's. Let's go.

Pretty sure the weather will cooperate. :D :r

Re: best way to cook a hot dog?
 

As soon as the rain stops. ;)

Re: best way to cook a hot dog?
 

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.
