Good list! I would add, Lets Be Frank Hot Dogs, both at the Cart and to make at home. I also love Shelton’s Chicken Hot Dogs. Very good flavor.

where’s the fucking let’s be frank cart these days ???
thanks D.
Kevin aren’t they still at Helms bakery across from Father’s Office?
this is what happens at my place
My list:
- Fab Hot dog - Not for chili dogs but the street dog, rippers are fantastic, Street dog
- Carney’s chili dog
- Pinks jalapeno chili cheese dog, though I also like to get this with just mustard
- The Stand Big Red 1/4-lb Chili Dog
- Costco with Kraut
- Pastrami Burrito Dog at Pinks (i like it better than Oki’s)
My favorite place to get dogs is Fab Hot Dog. Great variety, you can get anything in a footlong version and the tots are great!
These are by far my favorite take-home. I find the dogs with pork have a tendency to be not as juicy and the Boar’s Head seem to lack enough seasoning. Nathans all-beef have a stronger taste that stands out even buried under kraut or onions. I still see them in the casing at Smart & Final and Sprouts, Gelson’s. Albertson’s used to carry them but haven’t been in a while.
Also, love Vienna beef.
My favorite used to be Best Kosher out of Chicago. I had them send me cases and they had a special natural casing version they only sold to butcher shops. Picture the Costco dog with a casing.

Pls send out the bat signal if U see the Nathan’s skin on dogs! Forgot about the stand. They have a reasonable Chicago dog too for century city.
gone last time i was there
Albertson’s used to carry Nathan’s skin on, but my Albertson’s became a Haggan’s which is now becoming a Gelson’s….

last rumour was Rick Caruso wanted it for the Grove…but that proved not to be true at the time…hope this comes through…but it’s not just about the hotdog facade there and i have a hard time thinking they can do the same thing with their dogs and fries etc as before. a hotdog doesn’t equal a hotdog.
Alison Martino and LA Magazine. This December will be the announcement. And Kevin yes on beef hot dogs…

I wouldn’t call her a reliable source IMHO but I hope she proves me wrong
she may not be a reliable source, but then again I’ve never even heard of her.
but is she nice on the eyes ??? (sorry, I couldn’t fucking resist).
and that ain’t no fucking joke.

I feel old as hell for saying this but…
my last go-round I was really turned off by the number of carts with cooked dogs sitting right on top of raw bacon. Had to go to 4 carts to finally find one w/o that situation.
also: they’re really not that good unless you’re buzzed

I can see how that would be off putting. Luckily, I haven’t come across it yet.
Most of the time I’ve had those dogs, I’ve actually been sober. I think I just have low standards…
