My wife started buying the Hebrew National "reduced fat" a while back. They are tasty!

Sorry guys. If I'm going to spend my sat fat quota, I'm going to skip straight over the frankfurters and go directly for the real deal sausages.

I agree. I prefer sausages too but sometimes ya gotta have a good hotdog. Especially with a Little meat sauce a cheese.

How do Oscar Meyer and Ballpark even make it on the list? They have to be the most flavorless dogs out there. For me it has to natural casing dogs. My favorite are Boar's Head beef or pork and beef.

Thanks for posting that! Boarshead are a longtime fav of mine as are the Sabbrett natural casing dogs. Oscar beef blistered on the grill are good too. I like all the common dogs in the top 20. I bunch I've never seen though.

What, was that survey run by Oscar Mayer ? Around here those are the worst dogs you can by !!! The only ones that eat 'em are kids under 10 yrs. old, cause they just don't know any better. Around here the two dog kings are Sahlen's & Wardynski !!! In the middle of winter, a couple of dogs on the grill tastes as good as steak !!!

I vote for the Hebrew National Dinner Franks, if I am going to do a hot dog. I also would rather have true sauages. But a good hot dogs is still pretty yummy.

True sausages? Whats up with that? Hot dogs as well as many other old world deli meats are a fine ground emulsified sausage mixture. They come in real casings too. It's still a sausage.

I bought some of the Ballpark Angus beef hot dogs to try this weekend. Not impressed at all.

I prefer nathans for the norm but I'm not a huge fan of the skinless. I prefer the natural casing with that "snap"

SierraScott · Posted: Jun 30 2009 Post subject:

I love hotdogs, but Oscar Meyer having what? 4 in the top 20... Turkey DOGS injected with Cheese!?!

There is no Casper's, no Miller's an no Vienna Beef!
They must have gone to the local 7-11 and only bought 20 packs of what they had!

I don't like Hebrew National either! Gross.
