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

Salens are the best. Wardinskis are a delicious runner up. Anything else is junk.

“Kosher beef hot dog, mustard, diced onion, pickle relish.”

The gold standard!

I see some bright red ones on this list. To me that only means two things. The cheapest dogs you can buy and tons of chemicals.

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

I agree.

Zwigel’s red or white hot when I’m up North. Otherwise, Hebrew National’s.

Grilled to a slight char, mustard, little ketchup, maybe a slice of cheese.

West lbany was once home to Tobin First Prize hotdogs etc.

The slaughterhouse roots of West Albany continued into the later half of the 20th century, decades after the railroad abandoned hamlet, thanks to the Tobin Packing Company. In 1924, the Albany Packing Company was incorporated, and it would later merge with the Rochester Packing Company to form the Tobin Packing Company.

Tobin’s First Prize continues to be one of the most top-selling brands in the Northeastern U.S., and especially Albany, according to the current owner of the brand, John Morrell and Company.[11] The plant, also referred to as Tobin’s First Prize Center, was according to former employees so busy it pumped out 50,000 hot dogs, 700 hams, and 20,000 pounds of kielbasa a day; and every hour roughly 360 hogs were slaughtered to keep up with this production.[12] When the Tobin meat-packing plant closed in 1981, it employed 600 people.[13]

There was a place near where I went to college that served a chili dog that I sometimes dream about. The wiener itself was partially burned, I mean almost a third of it with third degree burns. Something about the smokey crunch with the chili, it worked really well.

Levis’s in philly were great. They tied to franshise them but i don’t see any around. Cherry coke on draft. but nowadays uncured natures promise or good or the uncured oscar meyer are also very good. with kraut from Czerw’s. If the name has more than one vowel it’s not a real polish name.

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