If you MUST boil your hot dogs, it is hard to beat beer. It can even be cheap beer. (Tuborg was my go to back then, $1.79/6 pack, 1985)

I used to like them when they were leftover, and my granmother would fry them in butter or bacon grease to heat them up again.

My “dirty water” recipe is half a beer, some sauerkraut juice, fill the rest of the way with water and sprinkle in some black pepper corns.

I put about 1/2 inch of water in the pot and salt it liberally, bring that to a boil, then put the dogs in and turn it back down to a low simmer and cover the pot and let them steam in there for maybe 20 minutes, turning them over once or twice. Makes a pretty good imitation of that hot dog cart flavor and consistency.

very good, the secret is not over cooking or splitting the casing

No, don’t boil them, simmer them. Slow cooking almost any kind of meat makes it better, but you have to be careful about how you do it, because boiling almost anything for 30 minutes will just turn it to mush.

Also if you are simmering meat, a lot of the seasoning in the meat can leech out into the water. But if the water is thoroughly salted already, then it cannot absorb much more salt from the meat, so you won’t lose that flavor.

NYC has some wonderful street food.

People rave especially about the ‘Halal Guys’ with their chicken and rice sold from a food truck. There are lots of copycat recipes out there:

Thanks. It does make sense to simmer, not boil.

I can’t stand brats and boiling in beer doesn’t help a bit.

Best dog I’ve eaten is a Nathan’s Kosher Beef franik ... the proper steaming of the bun is important, too.
