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

It’s just the two of us so we don’t worry about what we spend on hot dogs. When we had a houseful of munchkins it was:

I can do without the jalapenos, but mustard and onions do it for me. Wrigley Field hot dogs were the best, they give you a naked dog and leave the mustard and onions outside for you to put on, plus relish is overrated.

Yes. Mine too. The absolute best.

That said , and maybe sacrilegiously so but I've developed a taste for Sabrettes recently. The original ''dirt water'' dog.

Yup. I’m a Jersey boy. Know exactly what you mean.

That’s not just a hot dog.

It’s a meal.

My favorite dog is a natural skin grilled, served on baquette bread with mustard and kraut. Grew up in NY so the standard dog has mustard and kraut. Remembered the first time going to the deep south and they looked cross-eyed at me when I complained the dog didn’t have kraut (”duh what’s that?”).

“and kids don’t know any better. “

Lol. I like Boars Head uncured beef franks but they are pricey so I always tell the wife to buy “swill dogs” for the unrefined palate’s of the small ones.

There is one about 30 miles away. I ordered a 5 lb. pack of the hot dogs so it may be next summer before I will want more!
I crave a hot dog once in a while and Nathan’s... meh.

Deitz and Watson are great. Made in Philly. Another PA hotdog from a smaller manufacturer that’s worth trying is Hippys… big meaty dogs with a great flavor.
