Hot dogs, rightfully, loom large in the American imagination. And just as our nation houses a breathtaking spread of regional pizza styles, America’s many, many different hot dogs inspire continual creativity and spark passionate arguments.
Each regional variation on a hot dog is a reflection of the community that loves it. Every last one deserves a spot in our hearts and our digestive tract, so let’s dive into a compendium of these United States of Hot Dogs. Ready?
One quick thing before we get started: You’re not going to see Dodger Dogs or Fenway Franks on this list. That’s on purpose. If a dog is only available in one place, that’s a house special, not a regional style. Instead, we tried to find hot dog varieties that are associated with the wider place they come from, not just a particular restaurant. Got it? Okay. Let’s proceed.

My favorite when I used to live in Atlanta was the Dogzilla from Manuel’s Tavern. It’s a half-pound dog on a bun with cheese, chili, slaw or kraut. Came with pretty good fries too as I remember.
Plain hotdog grilled until it splits on a New England roll with mustard and ketchup. Yeah, I said ketchup. Eff all y’alls.
“ My list starts and ends with Nathans.”
So does mine.
Bar S Franks! They USED to be under a buck a pack...til Brandon took over. Now they’re $1.20.
MMMMMmm, Chicago Dogs..... SuperDawg on Milwaukee ave, Perfect hot dog, mustard, pickle relish that is so green it glows, kosher dill pickle, chopped Spanish onions and a hot pepper. Some fresh cut fries on the side. And the Giant Jack and Janet Dawg statues on the building roof for atmosphere. Mmmmmm.
just a terrible brand!

I think ketchup on a dog is heresy, but who am I to judge?
