23 Hot Dogs That Will Show You What America Tastes Like A guide to the wide, beautiful world of regional American hot dogs.

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.

Carolina Dog (aka Slaw Dog) Chicago Dog Cincinnati/Skyline Chili Dogs Coney Dogs Half Smoke/D.C. DogHot Wiener Italian Dog Kansas City Dog/Reuben Dogs L.A. Dogs Maine Red Snapper Mini Hot Dogs New York Style (aka Dirty Water Dog) Philly Combo Polish Boy Puerto Rican, aka Boricua Dog Puka Dog Ripper Scrambled Dog Seattle Dogs Sonoran Dog Texas Tommy Texas Wiener Reindeer Dog

Around Boston there is Maple Leaf brand

Made by Kayem in Chelsea, Mass. Same folks who make Fenway Franks.

Oh, and let's talk about buns. Split top all the way! Not those side cut buns, which aren't up to taking on a load of extras.

“Around Boston”

In New England there was a dog called something like Schonlands (sp??) that I’ve had and liked.

Ok. We disagree on dogs, but we agree on stadium mustard.

Give me a couple of “all the way” James Coney Island dogs from Houston and I’m happy.

All the way = chili, cheese, onions and a little mustard on the bun. 😋

Say what? They have the taste and texture of some kind of boiled mystery meat slurry.

Ah…the tastes of my youth. I look at the shelf and I see “Ballpark: $3.49 / Bar-S $0.89”. No brainer, done deal, take me down to the Bar S Ranch. 🤤

There are two ways to eat hotdogs. One is with Stadium mustard and nothing else. The other is Heinz ketchup and sweet pickle relish. All the rest is juvenile posing.
