Hot Dogs

I quite like the occasionaly hot dog but the ones in Canada are pretty rubbish. I've tried a quite a few brands but always seem to go back to Maple Leaf Originals, but they puff up which is a little disturbing. When I lived in the States they had very nice ones, Nathans were the best from the supermarket but I can't find them here. What brand do you buy and why?

Re: Hot Dogs

No Name, Maple Leaf, Coachman....pretty much any of them.

By the time they're slung in a roll with ketchup, mustard, onions etc there doesn't seem to be any difference; they're all nice. When you're in the mood.:)

Costco, the ones they use in their hot dogs, can't remember the name.

Re: Hot Dogs

Not a fan of hot dogs as I've always been disappointed when I try them. I'm willing to give it another go if anyone can recommend a decent brand.

That's the problem, they're crap in Canada. :(

I think the ones we buy are harvester, we all like them including the dog (the veggie in the house has strange plasticky things:eek:)

I actually prefer using real fat sausages instead of the brown wiener sausages, such as a spicy italian.

Try Nathans or Hebrew National if you can find them.

Funny enough I saw an advert on HGTV last night for Hebrew National. I thought the Jewish faith didn't eat pork?

You can easily get all beef hot dogs.

That's the problem I can't find them out here. Maybe its just an east coast thing.

You thought correctly. Both Nathens and Hebrew National are all beef and kosher and I believe that one or both brands are available from Costco..

How desperate for a Nathan's are you? Are you desperate enough to brave the wilds of Alberta. ;)

The closest one to your location that I can find is Airdre just north of Calgary. So not a total east coast thing. :)

Why Airdre I have no idea. :confused:
