Nathans and Hebrew National hot dogs seem to be the favorites. I myself like Nathans skinless bun length beef hot dogs. They aren't as fat
a round as the others. I definitely like the skinnier size. Hebrew National is also not too fat a round but has just a bit too much seasoning, making their all beef kosher dogs having a somewhat sausage flavor to them.
When I order hot dogs from Der Weinersnitzel, I prefer the ones made from pork, turkey and chicken over the spicier all beef ones. I would buy Oscar Meyer regular bun length hot dogs if they weren't fatter in circumference than Nathans. "Ballpark dogs plump when you cook them". They add water to make them do that. Oscar Meyer has been advertising that they no longer add nitrites and nitrates to their deli meats. I'm not sure if that applies to their hot dogs.
I was also wondering if anyone has frozen Nathans hot dogs (or hot dogs in general) and let them thaw slowly in the fridge (bought on sale). Does the texture or taste suffer any if used within a month or so? I couldn't get a definitive answer Googling it.
