The ultimate hot dog guide. How do you like your hotdogs?

I had to laugh when one of these posts said Nathan's or Hebrew National. The Hot Dog carts in NYC use them because it's the cheapest so called hot dog they could buy. My wife (from Alabama) and I (from up north) both agree there are 2 things here in the South that are un obtainable, and that is good pizza, and good hot dogs. Take it from a hot dog connoisseur, there's a reason they put all that junk on top of a dog, and that's to hide the taste of the sh***y meat you're eating. When I first got here I remember going to a "famous" hot dog joint in Columbus, Ga. and ordering the "famous" hot dog they make. I thought I ordered a dog on a roll, and they brought me out a soup covered thing that looked like someone puked on my plate. To top it off, the f*****g so called hot dog was PINK!!!! Gone are the days I could walk into Mamma Scungilli's and her sister's pizza joint, or their cousins joint down the road, (there's a lot of Italians in this world) or getting a steamed in beer dog at the neighborhood bar, so I "import" my hot dogs here to Ga., 6 lbs. at a time. It costs me more for the overnight shipping than the dogs, but to put a smile on my honey's face, and a warm and fuzzy feeling in my tummy, I do it. I either buy Hummel's Natural Casing or Deutshmacher Natural Casing. (my preferred) I wish I could get some Frankie's foot longs, but finding the matching roll down here would be impossible. Hoffman's are available at Publix down here, but for some reason (it may be the altitude) they don't taste half as good as they do in Rochester. I know, I'm gonna hear it from the crowd, but I know you'all know the truth, though it's hard to admit at times.

Sorry for your loss, perhaps you'd be happier back home. As Lewis Grizzard used to say,
"Delta is ready when you are".

When I was in Time's Square, some of the vendors were selling Sabrett hot dogs, and those were damn good.
 
Carolina is the way to go. However, sometimes I like a dog with just mustard, onions and kraut . Of course I could eat warm kraut by the fork fulls. Love it!

The best dogs in Georgia are Brandi's ( which used to be Betty's ) Hotdogs over behind the Hospital on Church Street Ext NW in Marietta. The chili is spicy hot and they are freaking delicious! If you have never been and plan to go plan to wait and get three. They are also addictive. Mustard, onion, chili and slaw are the only way to fly there. The slaw complements the spicy chilli.

Every great hot dog I have ever had always been in hole in the wall joints or small gas stations up here in Virginia. Not the ones off the rollers like Quick Trip but little mountain back road stations that make their own chilli.
 
I like a good chili-cheese dog or a corn dog but my hotdog consumption is pretty basic.
I need to broaden my horizons when it comes to trying new ways cook a hotdog.
There's some combinations on here I would never have even remotely thought of.
I'll try almost anything once (almost) but I don't have the iron gut I used to have that's for sure.
I hadn't had a corn dog probably since I was in school. My Wife bought some that were real good not too long ago. They were some kind of gourmet brand. I put some ketchup and mustard on a plate and mixed it up. It was very good.
Yea, I definitely wouldn't have thought of all those different ways.
Same with the stomach......
