Hot dogs are meat sludge. I can't see getting too finicky about the toppings.

Whoa. Cucumber on hot dog? What next? I guess it could be tasty, but I hate cucumber so I'd never ever try it in a million years.

Gimme my dogs plain on a bun, thank you very much.

It's grime time.

There's a gourmet hotdog place in New York that sells dogs how the Danish like them apparently. Each one is like ten bucks, and you can get it a variety of ways, garnished with crazy shit like guacamole, horseradish, cucumbers, nuts, etc. Really weird, but surprisingly pleasing to the palate. Having said that, I still prefer the bum dogs at Papaya King with their kraut and mustard though. I could buy twenty of those for the price of one uber-Danish dog too.

Destroying my reputation one post at a time.

Just about any hot dog stand in NYC, the shadier the better, has the best dirty water hot dogs. The ones with actual brand logos, like Sabrett, are pretty good, but the less identifiable the brand, the better the hot dog.

Of course, you'd have to make sure you know of a fast food joint or some place with a restroom open to the public in the immediate area.

If you like hot dogs and, for some inexplicable reason, find yourself in Buffalo, you owe it to your tastebuds to try both Ted's Hot Dogs (my wife's fave) and Seneca Texas Hots (good old "slime dogs").

I has a flavor!

This thread was supposed to be about pizza!

That being said, I agree with spankling about the cuccumbers on the dog. One day I'm going to get brave enough to try to put every single topping Dynamite Dogs (hot dog place near where I work... think they have a website, google it.) offers on one dog. Their veggie dog, my favorite, comes with the following:

Mustard (yellow or brown, your choice)
Ketchup
lettuce
onions
cucumbers
tomatoes (THE BEST IN THE WORLD, found right here in St. Louis in Soulard)
green peppers

So good. Scyess thinks it's weird that the only safe place to eat in the mall is the hot dog place, but I'm thankful for I would never have known how good hot dogs could be otherwise.

Mediocrity at its most average.

You gotta be kidding, Mikey. Your ass will get a tapeworm if you're not careful. And what you said isn't true at all. I got a hotdog from the shadiest man in New York. He pulled down his pants and there-- oh wait, different story. What I meant to say, is here was an old, sniveling Estonian, possibly schitzophrenic as he was mumbling under his breath the whole time. He wasn't wearing gloves and had no brand-name on his stand. He just reached in that dirty bucket and pulled out the nastiest dog I had ever seen. It had no discernable color. It was just pale. He slapped it in a bun and ripped me off. I took one bite out of it and I thought I was going to hurl. It tasted like a rancid gym shoe (don't ask how I know what a rancid gym shoe tastes like). Annnnyway... my point is what you said isn't true at all. To a certain degree, the cheaper dogs are better than the gourmet dogs, but there is a limit to how low you can go. On the rare occasions I do buy street-dogs (which most New yorkers have become wary of after long periods of time), I always go with a name-brand. Usually I stick to Gray's Papaya or Papaya King. You don't want a parasite, man. They live in those stands. Big as the hotdogs themselves, some of those bastards...

Oh look. I rambled.

Hot dogs? I can sum that up in two words. Nathan's. Untopped.

Anyone else see a market for genuine New York City bottled Hot Dog Water? Collected from New York's famous street vendors and bottled for shipment across the country. I think we'd see companies like Poland Springs scrambling to harvest their own Hot Dog Water quickly so we'll have to jump on this while the water's still got flavor. Anyone got VC for this? Who's in?

I agree with the kauf-man. Nathan's is the joint for hot dogs, except I like mine loaded.

There's a bar in the ATL called manuel's tavern and I get a little tasty treat called "DogZilla" there which is a decked out massive affair. it's delcious.

Also, those gross ass hot dogs sold by the vendors in NY kept me from getting sick while on tour. There's something in those dogs that makes you stronger.

Peeing sitting down is the gift you give yourself.

mmyers is my hero.

The rancid gym shoes ones aren't that bad. But I happen to find the "festering bum jock" flavor to be the best.

ivy, don't even begin to hate on Chicago...

Oh, and for the best Buffalo Wings in the entire world, go no further than, get ready, BUFFALO, New York. There's a place called Frank & Theresa's Harbor House that has the best Buffalo Wing's ever. This place even claims to have invented the modern buffalo wing. It is some good eatin. Go there with 3 or 4 friends and buy the 200 wing platter with Extra Hot sauce on it. It will be the best eatin ever.

I once ate 15 wings but it took me three hours. Jesus Christ Frank, You must make wing eating a real crusade!

---
-=- You eat one lousy foot and they call you a cannibal. What a world. -=-

There was this one restaurant here that had wings so hot you had to sign a waiver before you could eat them. 3 friends and I ordered one plate of them (plate of 12 methinks), and I could barely get through one. unfortunately, the restaurant closed down because one of the owners took all the money and ran out of the country.

Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over - an analyst and a therapist. The world's first analrapist.

I don't hate Chicago. It's just a big city. I hate big cities generally (except San Francisco). And I hate driving in Chicago. Plus I made a lot of enemies there after the incident with that building.

And me not keeping my mouth shut.

At all.

Really it's in my best interest to stay away.

Ivy, you are right about Chicago traffic, it's even worse than New York City. And I love Chicago just because I love the city. ANY City (except NYC, no disrespect to Finn).

Chicago is a good place to visit. But I'm glad I don't live there anymore.

Is this off-topic enough or should we digress some more?

I could, only because there's people there.

I went to NYC, stayed at a hotel on Times Square, and I'd never go back again.

That goes for just about every city for me. I'm happy I live out in the middle of nowhere.

---
It's grime time.

That was your mistake. Stay at a hotel/motel outside the city, in Westchester County, and travel back down to the city.

We did go to SoHo and some other places onthe outskirts, and I liked the small town atmosphere outside of the big city.

Where the hell did you go? There are no small towns on the outskirts of the city! Dude, I grew up right outside the Bronx in Mount Vernon and there isn't a small town to be found.
