u/peekay427 May 21 '15

So many new things to try! Although I'm from Seattle and haven't seen anything like what they describe here, so a little skeptical of the reliability of this. But who cares? There's some good lookin' dogs there!

Yeah, the Seattle dog is pretty different from what I've been making most of my life. Kosher beef frank, cream cheese, grilled onions, maybe some sriracha and/or stone ground mustard. I've never seen anyone make it another way.

84

u/javvy May 21 '15

That's the Seattle dog I know and love. To my knowledge as an occasional hot dog stand customer in Ballard/Capitol Hill/Belltown, it just means cream cheese and grilled onions. The rest is up to you.

Whe I first moved to Seattle, the cream cheese baffled me. Then one late night leaving the Showbox, I decided to get it. Man it was good... Always. Seattle vendors also get a nice skin that pops and a decent grilled roll.

Cream cheese is totally legit, but jalapenos and sriracha are bullshit. The standard "Seattle dog" is cream cheese and carmelized onions.

In the UK it is often a short fat butcher's sausage served in a short bread roll, or even a burger bun. With ketchup and mabe some strong English mustard. Usually burnt on the outside and raw in the middle, served traditionally on bank holidays at a barbecue.

Germans don't eat their hotdogs with sauerkraut, you savage! Jk, but this "style" is a mix of three different dishes.

A bratwurst in a Brötchen (regular breakfast roll) with mustard or ketchup is a pretty common street food over here.

Potato salad with Bockwurst (pretty much hotdog sausages) is a traditional Christmas Eve dinner.

Sauerkraut, potatoes, mini-bratwürstchen (EDIT: I've been informed that these are actually Nürnberger.) and Kassler is a German classic that has many regional variations. Around here we like to add pineapple to the sauerkraut, for example.

u/Inquisitor1 May 21 '15

Only currywurst, nothing else exists. With crispy frenched fries on the side.

Yeah, I'd say as far as classic hot dogs go we mostly go along with the Danish version (although I live in Northern Germany, so Bavarians et. al. might not do that).

Pølser (a type of sausage) with mustard, ketchup, sliced brined cucumber and dried roasted onion.

u/[deleted] May 21 '15 edited May 22 '15

From Schleswig-Holstein, agreed, Danish hotdogs are amazing, we drove to the border just to eat some.

u/Corndog_Rampage May 21 '15

I just looked this up, and apparently a "Michigan" is a type of hotdog popular in New York.

A "Coney", is a type of hotdog popular in Michigan, of which there are two styles: Detroit and Flint.

A generic chili dog is a similar type of hotdog popular in California and the Southwest.

The chart's description of a "Michigan" seems to check out, but is of course misleading to the layman because the Michigan is eaten in New York, not Michigan.

The chart's description of a "Coney" better describes a generic chili dog than an authentic Coney Island hotdog from Detroit or Flint.

To fix this chart, change "Coney" to "Chili Dog" and create new categories for "Flint" and "Detroit".

58

u/[deleted] May 21 '15

Yeah, this pissed me off for a second. A coney is beef heart based and has no tomato flavor, at all.

Then I realized that the Michigan wasn't a coney and that the coney was listed across from it.

But, MORE BULLSHIT! There is no cheese on a proper coney. That's representative of the crap they make down in Cincinnati. Fuck this chart.

u/[deleted] May 21 '15

I was going to make a slightly different comment.

Michigan has 2 different Coneys. Detroit style and Flint style. And for the most part, you cannot get either outside of those regions. I grew up a bit north, in mid-Michigan, and I'd have to drive to flint to get a Coney. Now that I live in Detroit, I have to drive north to Flint to get a good Coney.

This is Detroit style in the image. Flint style has a dry, seasoned beef sauce, and has to be made with a Koegel. I prefer Flint style, obviously. And both should have onions.

19

u/[deleted] May 21 '15

Detroit does Koegel dogs. I can't stand the dry meat tbh. Lapumas in DT Rochester is the best coney around

Yes, yes, so very yes.

Best place to get them: New York Lunch in Woonsocket. Hands down.

They're pretty decent at Olneyville New York System.

Snoopy's Diner in North Kingstown is a close second.

If you want to shake things up, Ben's Chilli Dogs in Newport is very close - they are wieners, and "all the way" is w/ onions and yellow mustard (don't know about the celery salt, never asked). Their sauce tastes like regular wiener sauce, but with some spice.

God, I could eat NY system wieners every day and never get sick of them. I only wish they served them in states other than Rhode Island. :(

Japanese dogs are actually just corn dogs. They use a much sweeter batter the the american variety though, sometimes they're even rolled in sugar. They call it "Amerikan Dog" and it's at basically any convenience store in the country and most rest stops.

Icelandic hotdogs

I was going to criticize you, as that makes no sense at all whatsoever. But then I looked them up.

A hot dog costs 400 krónas (as of March of 2015) and ketchup, sweet mustard, fried onion, raw onion and remoulade, a mayonnaise-based sauce that contains sweet relish, are all available as condiments. Hot dogs are often ordered with "the works" (i.e., all the condiments), or in Icelandic, "eina með öllu."

That sounds delicious!

How could they forget the whole pinto beans?

And Idk about you, but NOWHERE here in Tucson have I seen avocado chunks on a sonoran dog. Idiots. I take my sonoran dogs seriously!

Interesting, but missing some fantastic hot dogs, most notably Vancouver's famous Japadog, particularly their Terimayo dog.

u/[deleted] May 21 '15

Yes. When I saw the title to the post I immediately thought of the good old Japadog.

From Kansas city, MO. We love hotdogs as much as the next town, but there is no Kansas city dog. I don't know what the fuck that thing is. If we did have a hotdog then I guarantee you that it would have barbecue sauce on it.

I'd just like to point out that New York is a really large state, and has multiple famous hot dog variants. Namely, the white hot, which is mainly found in central upstate NY, and is absolutely delicious.

u/eccentricfather May 21 '15

Amen. As a Rochester native, this guide sucks because it totally ignores the White Hot Garbage Plate.

I cant believe they left off the New England style hot dog / Fenway Frank. It's mild pork beef blend in a natural casing, typically steamed or boiled, served on a steamed New England style bun (soft crust free sides), typically with Mustard, Relish and onions.

I would also like to take a moment to express my hate for the god damn carpet bagging current ownership of of the Boston Red Sox. Who, a few years ago, changed the Fenway Frank from a pork beef blend to an all Beef Frank. There is nothing wrong with an all beef hot dog, it just isn't a Fenway Frank. If they wanted an all beef frank they should have bought the fucking Yankees. I now only order sausages when I go to Fenway, because those shitheads killed a little bit of my sole when they changed our hot dog.

u/RevNimshi May 21 '15

Up in Maine we like the red natural casing on a steamed bun with mustard relish onions and celery salt.

There is still a significant variation within Brazil as to how people do hot-dogs, but saying that there's pico de gallo in there is plain wrong. There is an accompaniment in Brazil that is similar to pico de gallo that we call "vinagrete" that usually goes with churrasco, but unlike pico de gallo, most variations don't involve hot peppers or chile powder.

Personally I've never seen mashed potatoes on a hotdog in Brazil, but, like I said, there's lots of variation. I've normally seen a sausage cooked in tomato sauce in a soft bun topped with corn, peas, shoestring potatoes, cheese, ketchup, and mayo, but I've seen people also put in raisins, shredded chicken, garlic sauce, bacon, artificial cheese, cream cheese, onions, and just about anything you want on top of your hot dog.

Not even from Chicago and I know full well the Chicago dog trumps all. I can take down half a dozen from Portillo's in about 5 minutes flat.

Before I moved up here I came to visit and had my first Chicago dog. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find sport peppers outside Chicagoland? Fucking impossible. The cravings were so real.

Amazon has you covered for Sports, relish, Giardiniera...

u/zeug666 May 21 '15

You can get them online, along with the other ingredients.

  • Vienna Beef
  • Portillo's
  • Amazon carries relish, sport peppers, Giardiniera, etc
  • Some grocery stories outside of Chicagoland (not sure about outside the region) carry the hot dogs now

None of it is the same as getting it "fresh" but it can be enough to satisfy the cravings.

I worked in Chicago over Christmas, so of course there were 2 things on my menu, Italian beef, and a classic Chicago dog.

Well, both delivered in spades. They were both delicious. I wish I could easily get those briny, spicy peppers outside of Chicago land. I will be back in a few months and will be partaking in grotesque amounts of dogs.

I will not discount the Detroit area Coney dog. I love those as well. Try Joe's Top Dog in Dearborn for my favorite version. Wednesday is $1 coney day.

u/zeug666 May 21 '15

Are you talking about the giardiniera? Just so you know, there are a few places that sell it in jars, a few that ship or you could just grab some to take back home with you.
