They also just look amazing when you make them. Like something right out of a commercial.
Your grandparents like quarter-pound hot dogs. I like a little room in the bun for condiments.

YES. I've mostly switched to Ball Park beef bun-sized franks here. Hebrew Nationals are also pretty terrific.

Of course, nothing beats Jimmy's Hot Dogs from my hometown. They still taste the same as when I was growing up in the 1960s and 1970s.
I do like some hot dogs though. I like the ones at the movie theater. Shopsy's brand is my favourite brand of hot dogs.
Cheeseburgers for me!
New topic: Do you all prefer hot dogs or cheeseburgers?

My vote goes to hot dogs.
