Well as I am from WNY, I must concur. Sahlens are my preferred favorite, with Wardynski's a close second (Teds Hot Dog Stand uses Wardynski's).
Cannot wait for summer and the bi-weekly cookout. (Do not want to overdue it with the Hot Dogs, not especially good for you in large quantities.)

Dr. Pizza, good to know there is another WNYer on AT.

there are more of us then you know

I like hot dogs of all varieties. I am having a hard time picking one in particular. It has to have onions and mustard on it for sure.

Superdawg
drag it through the garden.
And Chicago has the best.

WTF?! Sahlens doesn't hold a candle to Zweigels. You folks aren't true Western New Yorkers. :|

They are now made by sabrett, but they have a different recipe from the other dogs they make. You can buy them in the store now (at least you could in NYC).

Hebrew National and Nathans are both good.
If I have to buy ball park or any other common brand, I stick with the all beef varieties. I think they're much better than the one's made from random meat.

My hot dogs have to be browned. If the weather allows it, I throw them on the grill. If not, I cook them in a skillet. I add about a half inch of water to the pan. Once the water has evaporated, I throw in a little butter and cook them until they're browned.

I always have ketchup and mustard. It's the perfect combination and it's not the same without either one.

You've never had a Muffaletta sandwich?

MMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Trust me, I've had plenty of muffalettas, and there isn't any mustard on them.

Good man.

Nathan's pan-fried with a little butter
-or-
Ballpark on the grill just to the point where they're a little bit charred and the ends split

Hebrew Natty's are ok, but the fact that they're sold in 5 packs means I will never buy them. 5 tube steaks do not match well with 8 buns. WTF will I do with 3 leftover buns?!?

As a native of Illinois, I feel comfortable saying that Chicago dogs, like Chicago pizza, are not 'the shit', they're just shit. An effing salad does not belong on a dog and if you're so pretentious as to refuse to serve ketchup/catsup (like Superdawg) then you can just smell your own farts and bask in the smug b/c you're never getting a penny from me.

I remember when they were two for a buck. Awesome dogs.
And their special Guldens Dijon style mustard is amazing. Can't buy it in stores thought. Its custom for Papaya King.
And for some reason they are better at the one at 72nd and Broadway.

86th st 4 lyfe!
used to sneak em into the movie theatre next door

Hooray for Jewdogs! At least that is the nickname thrown around for them. They are quite tasty. Moreover, my fiancée can actually eat these as although she isn't Jewish, she is allergic to pork.

i was sorely disappointed when i walked into gray's papaya on 72nd and broadway. just not as good. but it was close to the museum.

the storebought still aren't as good as at the stands', must be the roach bits or rat droppings that are missing.

EDIT: I agree, I prefer papaya king to gray's, but gray's is significantly cheaper. When I worked on 37th and 10th ave and was scraping to get by, the gray's down the street was my cheap lunch savior. Just had to squeeze by all the junkies hanging out inf front of the methadone clinic next door.

Vienna Beef dog done Chicago Style. That's steamed on a poppy seed bun, mustard, neon green relish, tomato slices, dill pickle wedge, onions, sport peppers, and celery salt. Ask for ketchup and you get tossed.

The ultimate question: do you or does anyone you know throw hot dogs in the pot when boiling crawfish?

Funny how you can have all that other stuff on it that entirely bury the dog, but you can't have ketchup.

This further confirms my theory that Chicago is the anti-NY and must be immediately destroyed. There can be only one.

It's especially dumb since there's a fucking tomato slice and pickle on the damn thing.
Hey chicagoans, take a look at the first 2 ingredients on a bottle of ketchup. They're already on your "hot dog."

We throw sausage in sometimes...hot dogs are ok, but they usually burst and turn to mush unless your throw em in while the crawfish are soaking. It's just funny because my sister and I were talking about people who throw hot dogs in their crawfish boil last week.
