The Dean Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) A friend from Buffalo, who lives down here, told me to come over for some Sahlen dogs. I'm not the biggest hot dog guy (many might disagree), but I do love a good grilled Sahlen. Anyway, my bubble was busted burst when I discovered they weren't the "natural casing" type. Not bad, but a real let down when you expect the "real thing". And CfG, while a Sahlen is much better grilled, IMO, if you are going to cook hotdogs in a crockpot with cabbage, I'm guessing a Sahlen will taste better than most other dogs. Just guessing as I never cook hotdogs in a crock pot, and I hate despise cooked cabbage. Edited November 10, 2017 by The Dean
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 I just made another quick run back to BFLo/WNY for this past week. I noticed they sell all beef and skinless versions of Sahlen's... I will give them a whirl. ...I guess the skinless would work in the crockpot as a dirty water dog. Not sure if they have all beef versions of the skinless. I have to be honest. Chicago has changed me the last 30 years with regard to two things: 1. Hot dogs (has to be all beef, boiled, but I will accept char grilled)... Tastes so much better. "Chicago Style" neon green relish, celery salt, tomato, dill pickle, mustard, NO ketchup, anf the most important part: boiled/steamed bun w/celery salt AND sport pepper 2. Combo (Italian Beef & Italian sausage) done: "wet." Everything else is inferior.

Even better mix in Weber's and get the skinless Sahlen's... ...Do it like a "Maxwell Street" Polish (sausage) or how they would do a Best Kosher @ Sox Park on the SouthSide... Simply to die for. The smell of that steamed fried onions is outta the world. Mix it w/Weber's and it would be crazy good. I am always tempted to hit one of the Maxwell Street Stands here and slip them a jar of Weber's and say: "Try adding this to the fried onion!" I know it woulf be a hit. Only thing missing in the equation. Crap... Now I am working late and have urge to hit an all night Polish stand!

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? Expand So , how did it turn out?
Johnny Hammersticks Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Sahlens are trash, IMO. Hoffmanns or Zweigels 1

They came out all rubbery. Never again. Expand Have you ever had fried bologna? or fried liversausage? Fry either one in butter until the edges turn a little crispy. Put the slices on rye bread with a thin slice of raw onion and loads of mustard. Amazing

I think all beef dogs are bland, for the most part. I like Sahlen because they have some pork in them (hurray for pork!) and natural casings. Oh, and I know this is weird, but I eat my dogs naked---on a good bun. A good dog should stand on it's own without condiments. Oh, I can have a Whistle Pig, too: Bacon and Cheese sauce.
