I’d much rather have a Nathans or the old Maple Leaf brand before I’d ever choke down a Ball Park or an OM frank.
My favorite is Nathan’s too but I haven’t seen them on sale or in any way reduced for at least a year. For some odd but fortunate reason, my Daughter likes the 99 cents ones best.
I’ll go Thumann’s out of Jersey I think, a really good hot dog brand. Hebrew National and Nathan’s would be next, then all the others.
Of course there are plenty of great hot dog joints in the NE too, I think I favour the Patterson dogs like Johnny and Hanges and Libby’s.
Those Thumann’s come in tied links with natural casings, we call ‘em rippers ‘cause they split on the grill.
