The Real Buffalo Joe Posted November 8, 2017 Posted November 8, 2017 Honestly, just seems like a waste of a good hot dog. It would probably taste just the same as any old hot dog after all of that is done with it. It's like mixing fine whiskey with Coca-Cola. You can do it, I guess, but it would just taste the same as mixing well whiskey with Coke.
CountryCletus Posted November 8, 2017 Posted November 8, 2017 Why, for the love of Christ, would you want to try and church upba hot dog with cabbage, and cook the whole mess in a crock pot???? The only acceptable way to cook a hot dog is with direct heat, preferably a grill.... if you want to eat something with cabbage, buy a ham or corned beef.... surely this is a troll job..... right???
Johnny Hammersticks Posted November 8, 2017 Posted November 8, 2017 CGF...I have a good milk-steak recipe for you if you like boiled hot dogs. Delicious.

Expand No...it's not a troll. First of all I consider Sahlen's to be a higher caliber type of hot dog ( they certainly aren't the store brand there at Wegmans ) which is why I used the word blasphemous. It was going to be a rainy day with temps in the 40's here in Dallas Fort Worth Texas today and I thought the crock pot would be a better option rather than the grill. I've seen the responses and have postponed preparing the Sahlen's to a more grill friendly day. May I now have my tailgating status reinstated?
CountryCletus Posted November 8, 2017 Posted November 8, 2017 Will only consider reinstatement if you bring the turkey fryer and 5 packs of dogs to the next tailgate... nothing better than a deep fried dog....

Expand You are more than welcome to bring some dogs and throw them in the fryer post hame if you are able to hang around this weekend.

Expand This. The natural casing defines the hot dog. It needs to be char grilled. Now... A Chicago "dirty water dog" works because Vienna Beef, Red Hot Chicago, Best Kosher (Defunct) brands are skinless. On 11/8/2017 at 11:49 PM, Augie said: When in doubt....FRY IT!

Expand I’m sorry, but I’ll put just about everything and anything on a hot dog... including ketchup. I was at the beach one day shortly after moving to Sarasota, FL (Siesta Key) and I got a hot dog at the Pavilion. I loaded it up with mustard, relish, ketchup, and some onions. Very HEAVY on the toppings. After a bite I stand and gaze out to the Gulf and all the people down by the water. Then...I feel a tug! At my hot dog!! I turn to see a sea gull trying to steal my dog!!! SHOCKED, I ripped my hand away to defeat the dirty bird! Well, all those lovely toppings thoroughly coated the lovely lady sitting at the picnic table next to me. NOT my finest moment, but she was quite gracious and just walked over to the shower. Edited November 9, 2017 by Augie

My wife got me into just yellow mustard and onions, which works for me too. OK, I’m officially hungry.... In the old days, I could go a decade without grilling a hot dog....until Publix started carrying Sahlens. THAT just became my next game day meal.
