No hot dog roller, yet (1 Viewer)

[BigSlickTux]

Okay, what are your thoughts on this idea? I was thinking of grilling some quality all beef hot dogs, placing them in buns, wrapping in foil, and placing them in a roaster pan to keep warm. Next best thing to a hot dog roller or does it seem like a stupid idea?

Weak but passable dog game.

Either a crockpot or a big pot of water works too. Just make sure you get some quality hot dogs and buns.

So the next big question….

-What brand is considered quality hotdogs?

I usually opt for the uncured largest hot
dogs at the grocery store. Usually applegate farms or Hebrew national. If I’m at Costco I just get their hot dogs. Sometimes you can get bun length 4:1 hot dogs. That would be the perfect dog for me.

My wife went hot dog shopping for my last game and got some ballpark 20 pack of small dogs. They turned into corkscrews. It was weird.

Costco dogs are gooooood!

This is what I use at my home games. 1/4 pound hot dogs and a couple types of Johnsonville brats. The drawer warms the buns. $200 on Amazon. Worth it!

@BigSlickTux if you wanna offer luke warm hot dogs on a soggy bun then that's the way to go. Minor league baseball teams throw hot dogs into the crowd like that. They suck lol

@Bacon Dad I'm proud to have grown up in New York eating 2 of the top 3 hot dogs: Nathan's & Sabrett. Hebrew National is usually in the top 3 but I honestly can't say I've ever had one.

Honorable mention: Berks Fiesta Frank's.

Berks Packing Co is located in Reading, Pa so I'm not sure how far their reach is. The Fiesta Frank's are made with jalapeño and red peppers and cheese. The pack sold in supermarkets is normal sized hot dogs. However Berks makes a larger 7" dog that they only sell to butchers & delicatessens

This monster is my go to when hosting Poker Night. Throw about 16-20 in a large crock pot with sauerkraut and serve them on a steak sandwich roll. It's The Best!

I’m thinking either Costco or Sam’s. I believe both are all beef

Thanks for the recommendations. Not sure if I can find these in Iowa but I’ll look around

 

[BigSlickTux]

I think those gas station roller items would be good too if one could get them. Tornados and taquitos

easiest solution. if you want to be "fancy" make them dirty water dogs.

If you want real quality hot dogs, look for Vienna Beef. Or if you can't find those, look for other brands that are ALL BEEF.

Sahlen's are the best dog on the market but you have to cook them over flame to char and split the natural casing. I've cooked those up for a couple of home games and there is never a single dog leftover.

The uncured dogs are the only ones that don’t give me indigestion. I love Nathan’s and Casper’s but even those and the Costco ones will give me a little heartburn. When we do completos (look them up, a Chilean staple) I usually end up eating at least two so I can’t do any that will give me heartburn. I think my next game I’m going to try and make that red onion sauce you get in NYC

Don't make it...buy it. It's Sabrett's and Walmart sells it.

If you want as close to a NY Street Dog as possible buy that sauce, Sabrett Hot Dogs (also Walmart), Silverfloss Sauerkraut and Wonder Hot Dog Buns

This guy!!!

Can’t wait to crack it open this week. What an awesome surprise. Thank you!

Hopefully this box made it to you in better shape than the Cigar Box Pass one did

 

[Statesvegas]

Just buy the roller. Your only regret will be not doing it sooner.

Best packed box ever! Where's the hot dog pr0n thread?

I plan on it. Using the roaster pan did well for now though. The ones at the bottom got pretty hot though.

I think that is on Grinder.

I mean if they got good sausage why not advertise it, right?

Finally cracked it open. Worth the wait.
