Best Hot Dogs

Sorry, Buck.

Uptown or down now.

 

Hmmm...it's sort of like a lighter version of thousand island, perhaps? But that doesn't do it justice. It's a thinner version, but with a lot more flavor. It's fantastic on salads or sandwiches. Last time I was in Chicago my sister-in-law gave me a large container
of the dressing to bring home. I used it in three days, and I used it on everything. I'm also a condiment groupie, though, so I don't want to oversell it. But, damn, it is now all I can think about...

 

Now I'm hungry.... :-X

 

I'll confirm that, although I thought Purdue had the best hot dogs of all when they had the old press box. I was disappointed the first time I stepped into the new press box and learned the hot dogs had been removed from the food options.

 

Vienna is the top brand in Chicago.

 

My wife calls me a "condiment whore", so I'm in the same boat as you. It's quite often that the sandwiches I pack for lunch are determined solely by the condiments we have to put on it.

I may e-mail them and see if they sell that dressing and ship it through their website.

 

The Pool Room in Cordele.
Even better than The Varsity. I guess what makes those dogs so good is the ambience of The Varsity.

 

Can you actually get New York System weiners in NYC? I have trouble finding them outside R.I.

As far as what I can buy at the supermarket, nothing tops Nathan's.

But my all-time fave was Lum's - big, plump and steamed in beer. They were also the fave of Uncle Miltie and friends:

I don't think so, strictly a RI thing, i think.

They got written up in the Times last fall:

Though, the article is more about corruption than hot dogs.

 

I've only had them in Rhode Island. There is one on Smith St and the other is in Onyneville SQ.

 

Great article - have to love RI politics.
