Hot dogs are a dumb fast food item because they take like 3 minutes to make at your house

They should probably just eliminate the soda dispensers then too.

 

[Mac the KNife]

In a world that has brats, sausages, etc., why the fuck does anyone still eat hotdogs?



Seriously what is the deal with Michiganers and Coneys? A) You have them fucking everywhere and B) They're terrible.

I feel like the whole population of the state of Michigan still lives in Michigan because they have no idea how much better life is almost everywhere else. Yes this is me being bitter about getting stuck in Michigan for the past year and a half.

Man, if you can't enjoy a dog with mustard, onions and chili, I shutter to think of what nightmare city you must've come from.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Detroit, Flint, Jackson, Saginaw, Bay City, Midland, Lansing, Grand Rapids - coneys are more common than you seem to think, at least in the more densely populated areas of the state.

There's a Coneys in Midland? Is it in the mall? I only remember seeing one in Bay City that my grand parents use to go to.

 

[BobTheFork]

It looks like they drew the grill lines on with a sharpie.

 

[J-Rod]

These would be a hit in Baton Rouge.

In a world where steaks exist, why does anyone still eat burgers?

 

[kirby_fox]

I fear the faux taste of being "grilled" much like the burgers have now is going to be infused into the meat.

Give me an actual fire grilled hot dog and I'm there BK. And I'm there happily. Otherwise I'll stick to making them at home or grabbing a cheap $1 one at Rally's.

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

Are these beef hot dogs?

 

[Troubled Bat]

Damn, if this comes to Texas. I know when I'm using my BK gift card. xD

 

[Hari Seldon]

3 minutes? 45 seconds, tops. 30 to microwave, 15 to put shit on it.

You need to learn how to Murica. That is not acceptable hot dog cooking.

 

[3phemeral]

I may try one of these when I get off work, though I imagine they won't be great. Grand Coney is decent and pretty cheap (if I remember correctly), and Rally's has a decent chili dog (for fast food).

On the topic of new food, though, I DO love Wendy's Ghost Pepper Fries even if they really only taste like Jalapeno ones.

Happy to see they got the Czech one right. The translation of what it is called is "sausage in bread roll"

I agree. "Ghost Pepper" has become really misused lately, but those fries are yummy.

hot dog sausages should be never grilled upon open fire. they contain pickling salt which can be highly carcinogenic when burnt. I think there's even a food-law in the US that prevents restaurants to put scalted sausages onto an open grill.

I know that many people do it at home at their BBQ but you really shouldn't do that. use sausages (bratwursts etc) without pickling salt for grilling

If your name has something specific in the title, stick with that specific thing and make it better.

I look at food safety regulations everyday and I've never heard this, ever. Tons of restaurants do this.

I've never heard it either. Pickling salt is just fine salt, this is the first time I've ever heard that you aren't supposed to cook salted food over a flame.

 

[noquarter]

Huh, I did see these the other day at Burger King and didn't even think about it. For some reason I thought they sheets had them.

Might go try a corn dog later.

 

[Liquidsnake]

We need a fast food Italian place. Now that would be awesome.

Can you give a link to anything about this? This is the first I've heard of such a thing, it goes against a lot of the basic food science I know, and I'm unable to find anything related with the search terms "hot dog fire salt."

Sbarro. And it's not.

 

[Teriyaki]

Didnt even bother to put the Onion Rings around the dog...what a missed opportunity.

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

Man, if you can't enjoy a dog with mustard, onions and chili, I shutter to think of what nightmare city you must've come from.

I can enjoy one, but always with the lingering disappointment that it's not a sausage.

In a world where steaks exist, why does anyone still eat burgers?

Because they're totally different types of food? Hot dogs and sausages live in the same realm, it's just that one is way, way better than the other. The only upside to hot dogs is that they're cheap.

 

[AwakenedCloud]

I'm all for this, especially since they seem to be reasonably priced. Dogs get a bad rap in the fast food industry.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Probabaly too much prep time. Gotta go fast (food).

 

[Kwhit10]

McDonald's did this over a decade ago, we'll only hot dogs, they weren't that big a seller.

Yeah, I'm with others on this. I've never heard of this and googling it shows absolutely nothing about it. Even looking up pickling salts and carcinogenic shows very little results. Got any links for this?

Edit: Not to mention that BK used to have an actual flame grill back in the day. But that's been done away with for the most part and replaced with smoke flavors and microwaves...

We had one starting in this area. Fell flat. Sucked, too. Linguini with a bread stick and drink were like 5 bucks. Only issue is that they used these plastic plates with some Teflon-ish coating on top, so since they barely strained their noodles...let's just say that half of your noodles were on the table. Or if it was a to go order and they didn't seal the practically unsealable lid on top then you had a bag full of hot noodles.

Sounds like a Fazoli's maybe. We had one in our area and GOT DAYUM they had good breadsticks. However everything else they served was mediocre.

 

[TheFurizzlyBear]

Is this all over Maryland or just part? Northern, southern and the eastern shore might as well be 3 diffrent states when it comes to fast food.

 

[MechDX]

I used to eat the Burger King tacos. They weren't bad.

 

[Lazyslob]

a1 ultimate and the chili cheese ones look pretty good

I actually used to work at a Fazoli's. You're right in that everything else but the breadsticks was worthless.

Those breadsticks we took a brush and just coated with some kind of butter substitute. A lot of people came only to order dozens of those things.

 

[NeoXChaos]

These would be a hit in Baton Rouge.

you live there? idk about a hit but I will try them.

I'm in Laurel and we have then here, so for sure in the North.

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

As a former Marylander, I'd just like to say we are a civilized people and do not eat that god damned abortion known as a corn dog. Get that shit out of here.

Doesn't McD's still sell hot dogs in Europe?

the fuck is this microwave non sense lol.

 

[daveo42]

If I want a good, loaded, Chicago-style dog, I'll go to a place that primarily makes and specialized in them or just eat at home. I think I'll pass on these fast-food dogs. I'd say my one exception would be Skyline or Goldstar, though they are both know for their coneys.

 

[AnAnole]

Yes, because I'm always by my house

I'm on Kent Island, I'll see if I can check there tonight.

 

[HBP]

They have them in Kansas City if anyone cares.

 

[CaptainGyro]

Tell that to all the other places that also sell hot dogs and surivive

Good looking out GAF

Ehhhhhh they are at every county fair I've been to. Heck, I've had one that was made with Old Bay in the corn bread. It was quite tasty

 

[Angry Grimace]

But then you have to go to the store and buy all the ingredients. And then actually make them.

There are no ingredients. Hot dogs come as hot dogs.

Tell that to all the other places that also sell hot dogs and surivive

Sure, at a baseball game, I guess you'd want a hot dog. But you also can't just go home at that point.

 

[OneEightZero]

I didn't realize it was a test. They're selling (testing?) them here also.

I might try it.

 

[CaptainGyro]

Sure, at a baseball game, I guess you'd want a hot dog. But you also can't just go home at that point.

Are there like no places that sell things such as gyros, italian beef, burgers, subs,hot dogs etc around where you live? Because they are everywhere in Chicago area

 

[AnAnole]

If you live in a big city/commute a long way to work, going home to eat during a lunch break is impossible. Of course, if you live in a big city, there are much better options for a hot dog than Burger King, but a hot dog anywhere is pretty much fast food.

And no, I'm not going to microwave a fucking hot dog in the break room microwave, I'd rather eat a grilled hot dog from Burger King if I'm in the mood for a hot dog.
