Dubplatestyle: dave, its probably not right to eat so many hotdogs is it?
popshots75: so many = ?
Dubplatestyle: haha more than 1 a month
popshots75: Ouch.
popshots75: If you're trying to build up an immunity, you're on the right track.
popshots75: For sustenance, you could do better.
Dubplatestyle: or like, 5 in a three day period.
Dubplatestyle: haha not that i did or anything.
Dubplatestyle: yeah, that's the ticket.

wasn't there some compitation to stuff yerself with a maximum amount of hot doggies? those hot dogs in eurodisney were probably made of dead puppies.

― nathalie - hey i had a fucking abysmal day, Tuesday, 18 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i don't feel quite right at all now.

― jess, Tuesday, 18 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Probably about 5.

― jel --, Tuesday, 18 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I've eaten 8 over a 3 day period on more than one occasion, and I seem to have survived.

― electric sound of jim, Tuesday, 18 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i survived today (so far...the large amount of gin i am drinking right now seems to be helping), but then ate another - unrelated - pork product for dinner.

dave sez, however, that hotdogs dont count as a pork product so maybe i'm okay.

― jess, Tuesday, 18 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I like how you're averaging out 3 day's consumption over a month to make sure you're under the limit.

― Graham, Tuesday, 18 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I think any amount is fine, I heard they are chock-full of antioxidants. When I went to the rugby that time, I had three. And I had one last Thursday, and two a couple of weeks before that.

I fully endorse their safety for eating, I am a picture of health and vitality.

― rainy, Tuesday, 18 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

you shouldn't eat dogs when they are hot jess. actually, you shouldn't eat dogs at all. pets = not food.

― queenoftheharpies, Tuesday, 18 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

jess surely you will have to start planning your pilgrimage to mecca now in order to atone

is it weird to put a slice of cheese on your hot dog?

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 23:50 (twenty-one years ago)

no, i've done that. i prefer grated cheese though

hey thats a thought, i wondering what to do with the ones I don't eat.

teeny is now an official midwesterner

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 18 March 2004 00:22 (twenty-one years ago)

The only thing that should ever go on a hot dog is mustard, relish, tomatoes, pickles, sport peppers, onions and celery salt. Can I get a witness?

― Broheems (diamond), Thursday, 18 March 2004 00:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't have any of that stuff, so I thought cheese would be good. Also note they were soy dogs.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 18 March 2004 00:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm with you my Chicagoland brethren.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 18 March 2004 00:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I thought Cheese Dogs were officially recognized.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 18 March 2004 00:48 (twenty-one years ago)

usually the cheese is INSIDE the dog, no?

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 18 March 2004 00:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I thought those were frankenfurters. I've been ordering cheese dogs my whole life from many different places. 90% of the time, it's a cheese dog with a slice of American or Cheddar melted on top (I think they throw it in a toast on Top Brown for a bit.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 18 March 2004 00:57 (twenty-one years ago)

none

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 18 March 2004 01:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Well I went and bought my hotdogs but seriously, they've never tasted as good as they did when I was a kid. Whats up with that?

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Thursday, 18 March 2004 01:12 (twenty-one years ago)

You have taste buds now. Playdoh ain't the same anymore either.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 18 March 2004 01:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Whats up with that?

They were plenty and free.

You have taste buds now.

Plus, you realised the "five second" rule was complete bollocks.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Thursday, 18 March 2004 01:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I've actually heard that taste-buds are more sensitive when we're younger and that's why we're more picky then. I don't remember this as being a scientifically proven anecdote.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 18 March 2004 01:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I think it just comes down to not being able to find the right brand of hotdogs.

― ipsofacto (ipsofacto), Thursday, 18 March 2004 01:41 (twenty-one years ago)

i miss rainy too!

cheese is about the only thing that SHOULDN'T go on a hot dog, pretty much every other topping is classic.

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Thursday, 18 March 2004 01:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Spencer, I have heard the same thing too.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 18 March 2004 01:44 (twenty-one years ago)

sport peppers

wtf are these??

cheese and chili - most perfect dog ever.

― Ask For Samantha (thatgirl), Thursday, 18 March 2004 01:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Peppers that enjoy an occasional round of batting and infield practice?

― jim wentworth (wench), Thursday, 18 March 2004 03:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I had one of those pretzel hot dogs from Pretzel Time for lunch today and it was way better than it should've been. Although, I don't know if it warranted having to actually order a "pretzel dog"

― Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Thursday, 18 March 2004 03:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Are bagel dogs still around? Those are goooood.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 18 March 2004 04:00 (twenty-one years ago)

they call chili dogs "michigans" here

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 18 March 2004 04:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know what sport peppers are exactly. Just these smooth, small, jalapeno-esque shaped (but way skinnier) ,usually yellow peppers.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 18 March 2004 05:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, sport peppers are a lot like Tabasco peppers. I'm not sure if they're an actual breed of pepper or if they just refer to "small yellow peppers in bottles of vinegar," since I never see them in other contexts. People here apparently use the vinegar as a hot sauce, and I got a weird look the first time I tried to get one of the peppers out of the bottle at Steak-n-Shake (I was using a clean knife to do it).

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 18 March 2004 05:18 (twenty-one years ago)

(Google is undecisive about the taste buds thing; I had always heard that when you're very young, your sweet taste buds are proportionally stronger than the others; couple things on Google support that, a couple don't, etc. How taste works seems to be something about which we are not yet entirely certain.)

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 18 March 2004 05:20 (twenty-one years ago)

People here apparently use the vinegar as a hot sauce
dude, tep do you not know about giardenera?

I'm vaguely remembering Peter Gordon's version of it from the Nigel Slater programme on sandwiches - and I'm sure he said it was an old italian recipe - I am confused now!

― chris (chris), Thursday, 18 March 2004 15:25 (twenty-one years ago)

and then everywhere I read about it it says New Orleans!! sheesh.

no wonder I'm confused.

― chris (chris), Thursday, 18 March 2004 15:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh yeah, it's definitely a New Orleans thing. But I wouldn't be surprised if it's based on some earlier Italian recipe maybe?

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 18 March 2004 15:29 (twenty-one years ago)

or this feller?

pan bagnat
[ pan ban-YAH ] Popular in Southern France, both in cafés and for picnics, pan bagnat is a sandwich composed of a large, split loaf or bun, the inside of which is brushed with olive oil, then filled with green pepper slices, black olives, onion slices, anchovies, tomato slices and hard-cooked egg slices-all drizzled with VINIAGRETTE

― chris (chris), Thursday, 18 March 2004 15:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Are bagel dogs still around? Those are goooood.

Yes, my friend. (I usually have one a week around here at work.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 18 March 2004 16:15 (twenty-one years ago)

A proper muffeletta -- New Orleans style, at least, I don't know if they're made elsewhere -- shouldn't have oil, veggies, etc., added except in the form of the olive salad. Bread, salami, mortadella, I think Progress might add ham, provolone, and a fair bit of olive salad. That's how Central Grocery makes it, at least, and they're the creators of it -- I'm not sure how much it's drifted.

Stomach... eating... itself...

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 18 March 2004 17:42 (twenty-one years ago)

You remember my holy quest to get olive salad last year, right? Shaboom, I got a big jar of it in my fridge. That was my luggage coming home: bag of pistolettes, couple days' worth of clothes, sour fizzy gummy cola bottles, and a jar of olive salad. It's good on everything.

I have not yet tried it on hot dogs.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 18 March 2004 17:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I think I gotta go to the Gumbo Pot for lunch. It's not the same, but it'll do in a pinch.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 18 March 2004 17:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Pinch the tail, suck the head, etc. Now I want to make more boiled shrimp.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 18 March 2004 17:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned, where do I get a proper bagel dog? I think I've seen them at 7-Eleven, but the microwaving doesn't see to do them justice.

Sausage Dogs are the best.

I ate 5 hot dogs in one meal uhh yesterday. Or the day before.

Weight: 160
Height: 6'

Also, chili/cheese= the BEST!

― aNatheMa (aNatheMa), Friday, 19 March 2004 09:43 (twenty-one years ago)

so therefore, chili/cheese and sausage would be the true champ!

― aNatheMa (aNatheMa), Friday, 19 March 2004 09:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Hmm. There is an American kindersnack classic, Crescent Dogs, which is a hot dog split longways and filled with a Kraft Single, wrapped in a triangle of fridge croissant dough and then baked. Anyone else raised on this staple?

― suzy (suzy), Friday, 19 March 2004 10:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Recently I bought a package of something called Red Hots, which I think is just an exercise in manufactured nostalgia on the part of the Schneider Foods company. They were pretty good, though. I was roaring drunk when I cooked them and I left the saucepan that I had boiled them in on the stove overnight. When I awoke I discovered that a large spider had drowned itself in the hot dog water at some point while I sleeping. I still don't understand what would possess a spider to do that.

I once read that every hot dog you eat takes 6 hours off your life. If that was true, I was going to live to be 8,000 years old. I don't smoke cigarettes, I don't drink soda, and I hardly drink alcohol (compared to most). But hot dogs are a vice I've never shaken...

Took a tour of the Vienna Beef plant here, and was pleasantly surprised by how not terrible for you these things are. Like, they could be a lot worse! Like the limited edition Choco-dog at Hot Doug's:

http://media.thefeast.com/images/540*405/Hot+Doug%27s+Use+Me.jpg

There are very few ingredients Doug Sohn hasn't put in or on his gourmet dogs at Hot Doug's. After working with rattlesnake, saffron rouille, foie gras, and lemon-dijon foam, it takes a truly special creation to turn heads at this unassuming "encased meats" emporium. But heads are turning at one of his latest specials: a pork sausage dog topped with crumbled Vosges bacon-chocolate bar ($7.50). "When I got to this combination, I thought, 'I'm not sure this works, but I can't stop eating it,'" says Sohn. We sat down with Sohn to dissect his calorious creation and discover the secret to its cult popularity.
1. Homemade pork, dried cherry, and apple sausage: "It has a little bit of cinnamon, but it's mostly a savory pork sausage. I'm a big fan of the sweet and savory and salty combination."
2. Sir William pear mustard: "It's a pear puree with just a little bit of Dijon mustard and sugar added to it for just a little sweetness."
3. Crumbled Vosges' Mo's Bacon Bar: "Why the bacon chocolate? That's your question? Because it's bacon chocolate! Vosges is right down Elston and they come in often and drop off samples. We just wanted to come up with a fun combination. It's been getting rave reviews."
4. Rosen's brat bun: "It's a classic."
