People don’t know how to make a good hot dog anymore. 75 years ago, the Big Dog had a 8” bun, a 12” pork weeny, chili, onions, and mustard or ketchup. $.35. I never had a better one. Now, just beef weenies.

In our small NC town, there’s a place that’s been a hot dog place many times, several different owners. Over the years, they’ve made some great hot dogs. But the lack of diversity of the menu and small parking lot (small building, too) made profitability minimal. It’s rarely in business more than a couple of years (per owner). 😢

If yall ever visit Washington, DC go to Ben's Chili Bowl for half smoked dogs or even Weenie Beenie in Arlington, VA (15-20mins away from DC)

I am from VA and I have been to Ben's satellite location. The chili was horrible, not just the fact that there are beans in it, it simply was not flavorful. The half smoked was pretty good!

I can testify that both of these are good N. Va/D.C locations. In N.C. you have to make it to Bills, you will be very happy you did!

Of I go close to Washington I have to go to Bills fir some Hotdogs. Best ones I have ever had. Different than most but very good. You try em and you kind of crave them. They are worth the drive. I live In Kinston almost between Kinston and Snowhill NC so not to far of a drive .

that close up of the beige goop in the dirty container in the dirty hot table, with the objectively filthy spoon/ladle sticking out is absolutely abhorrent. what the fuck is the health inspector doing if they don't shut them down after this new story. have some fucking self respect as a business if this is what is shown to prospective customers. that container probably has some of the original sauce in it if its never been clean well.

Their hot dogs are amazing. How did you come across this video and why did you reply? Have you had them? Do you think you needed to use the f word to get your point across? I could go on, but it’s late. CIAO!!!
