It’s one of the few foods I cannot stand to eat, so more than 10 years ago. ---

I live in NYC and have two daughters who like dogs so we often partake, either from carts or Papaya King/Dog/whatever places. I don’t think we’re ever more than 100 yards from some sort of hot dog establishment. ---

> [@Quimby](#): > > Last month I visited Frankfurt so of course I had to have a Frankfurter so my answer was this month but before that I hadn’t had one in about a year because I try to eat healthy. Funny, I was just in Frankfurt last week and I had a frankfurter. It was consistent with a run-of-the-mill American hot dog, which was somewhat surprising (I guess it shouldn’t be, but I was kind of expecting something a little better than that). ---

I had one last week at a cookout. I eat them periodically, though not as much as I used to. I prefer turkey franks and cheap hot dogs (the kind like you get at the movies, for example). “Gourmet” hot dogs are kind of wasted on me. And I eat them plain, with just a bun. ---

I had one tonight too! I am not a big fan, I really have to be in a mood. I like to stick mine on a fork and hold it over the flame on the gas burner until it’s slightly charred. I got the bun-length OMs, nothing special but at least not those gross red generic ones. Those I cannot stomach. I had mine tonight with mustard and relish with a side of curly fries and a slice of watermelon. My daughter said it’s like a picnic only in the house. ---

Yep, one for lunch here today. Now that I think of it, I probably have hot dogs on the order of at least one a week if we’re counting in-house dogs. I was just thinking of fast food dogs when I answered the poll. And quite often, like today, I just did the whole poor-man’s-hot-dog-bun thing by wrapping a slice of white/Italian bread around my wiener instead of using a proper bun. ---

My favorite hotdog is Nathan’s Famous, but I think I’m going to have to give them up. I just read about a closed door fundraiser hosted by the guy who owns the company, and the fundraiser was for his “best friend” Donald Trump, and a group called Trump Victory. Hebrew National hotdogs, here I come. ---

I just had a turkey dog today from Dog Haus. It’s good, but the veggie sausage is actually better. ---

There aren’t any real hot dog places around here, but I’ll get a chili cheese dog from Sonic maybe once a month. If I’m making them at home it’ll be brats or something along those lines. ---

I bought a chili dog from Rally’s last week. It was very good. I’d been craving one since this thread appeared a few weeks ago. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/when-is-the-last-time-you-ate-a-hot-dog/819088.md?page=5)
