I always liked sausage dogs better. Brats, to be precise - real brats, not that Johnsonville garbage.

Rutts Hut in NJ RULES!
Those are some yummy pictures! I wouldn’t mind trying that Arizona one in the bowl looking bun and that Hawiaan puka dog!
Damn ... I’m gonna have to call the wife and see what she thinks about hot dogs for dinner tonight.
My vote — bacon-wrapped cheese dogs, maybe Ketchup/Mustard or Heinz 57 Sauce. Its a thing of beauty.

I have my own variation.
A cooked (grilled, boiled, nuked, etc.) hot dog wrapped in a corn tortilla that has been slightly “cooked” over the electric stove burner.
Wrap it up with shredded cheddar, minced green onions, and mustard.
YUM!
Tennesee slaw dog...
Bite-size slaw dog...
Great post!
Connecticut also invented the hampburger, has the best apizza (Sally’s on Wooster St. in New Haven) and has one of the more credible claims for inventing the grinder/submarine sandwich.
Jimmy’s of Savin Rock (now closed) had famous hot dogs. The style included a toasted clam-roll style bun (similar to one of the Maine rolls shown above) grilled-toasted with extra butter, foot-long all beef hot dog (Hummels or Roesslers), grilled onions and your choice of reasonable condiments (ketchup ok, no stupid things like celery salt, etc.)
hampburger shuld be hamburger. No one has invented the hampburger yet.
And “shuld” should be should. I hate my keyboard. I need my ‘80’s vintage clicky IBM back.
They have a stand at National's Stadium. The line is always long.
Dodger fans can get theirs steamed or grilled and if they can't make it to the park, the official Farmer John Dodger Dogs can be found in some supermarkets in the area.
I can here Vin Scully advertising Farmer John's now.
Yum!
I don’t understand the difference between the “Michigan Red Hot” and a coney. Except that it’s from upstate New York. It sounds like someone went to southeast Michigan, discovered the coneys in Flint and Detroit, and then took the concept back to NY and popularized it there.
My favourite is an all beef, natural casing dog on a steamed bun with stadium mustard, sliced tomato, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mmmmmmm....
I can remember as a child having hot dogs at Howard Johnson’s. One of the things I loved about them was the bun. Think it’s called a New England style bun (like the one in picture #6). They’d brush melted butter on them and then grill them-—boy were they great. Unfortunately we don’t have that style bun in California, at least in our area, and I sure miss them.
