Every Style of Hot Dog We Could Find Across the US

Hot dogs are about as American as apple pie. It's not uncommon for different states to offer their unique spins on classic American cuisine, and the hot dog industry is no exception. While some stands and shops take inspiration from other popular local cuisines for their toppings (like adding coleslaw or fish sticks to their classic franks and buns), others insist on layering, excluding, or adding ingredients to ensure their dogs remain a distinct staple to their regional style.

LA street hot dogs have a special place in my heart, every single concert or event I've been to in LA, you bet a street vendor will be waiting outside grilling some tasty dogs, the caramelized onions are the best part!

[@Park_Place]

There are two rules of thumb when it comes to street dogs: 1. The less official the stand is, the better the food is. If that sweet old Mexican lady is cooking out of a laundry cart and keeps her ketchup and mustard in rinsed-out Suavitel containers, the dogs are gonna be fire. They'll also be super generous with the portions and give you a sausage wrapped in 4 bacon strips topped with a pound of onion for like $6. 2. The more indistuingishable each ingredient is, the tastier the hot dog will be. You don't want your street dog to look like the photo at Costco food courts. All the ingredients need to mix and make the dog look like garbage in order to maximize the flavor per bite.

As a North Carolinian, our dogs are staples here. But nothing can compete to a coney, (or the skyline dog, but I’ve always still heard them referred to as coneys by my mom who was raised there) all the way with Skyline Chili and Tabasco on top during a cold day. I was 8 when I had my first ever coney in Cincinnati. It was cold as hell outside, and I put Tabasco on top of those chili cheese and onions (I hated onions as a kid but this converted me) and I took a bite of my first ever real deal dog and fell in love.

This is a great story. We ran a Top Dog cart in DFW for years and brought in different hot dogs and buns from around the country. By far, the Chicago style was the most popular followed by a Texas chili dog. We only did catering jobs and were booked solid from Memorial Day through football season. We traveled to many different spots and a few of our favorites were the Skyline, Maxwell Polish, the Sonoran and the Detroit Coney. If you’re ever in Denver, a trip to Biker Jim’s is a treat as is Pink’s in LA. The ripper in NJ is also a great dog but the Italian served at Jimmy Buff’s was too much for us.

I love almost all hotdogs, but the Carolina Dog in my opinion, when made right, is absolutely the best. There is also a Carolina burger that I grew up on as well that has the exact same ingredients, but obviously with a Cheeseburger or regular burger and instead of a hotdog.

This is false. Chocolate has never been used in Skyline chili. I'm allergic to it and enjoy eating there. That myth came about when someone posted a copycat recipe in the Cincinnati Enquirer in the 70s-80s claiming to have cracked the code. They thought they discovered chocolate was giving it it's color, but were mistaken. That didn't stop every mother and grandmother from copying it down and putting it in their recipe box. So, now if you eat homemade Cincinnati chili from grandma's "secret recipe" you're really eating a failed copycat recipe from 40-50 years ago. It's why homemade tastes nothing like Skyline.

As a person who has lived in Seattle my whole life. The Seattle Dog was new to me about 20 years ago, in the early 2000’s. Ate one on our way into a Mariner’s game. But have since seen them as a staple after a night out in downtown Seattle!! The true form is in a bagel style bread with cream cheese. But a Kaiser roll is also except-able

[@Sniperboy5551]

Acceptable, but that sounds good

[@alejandroramirez4470]

i'd give it a try with flavored cream cheese

[@niles8102]

Westlake Park has a stand called "Dog in the Park" where my co-workers and I go for lunch once in a while :)

So my mom grew up a block or 2 from Coney island, So whenever we visited my grandparents we always walk to Nathan's hot dogs. And to me that is the top tier hot dog experience. Just something about a nice snap of the skin and the how they served it will always remain in my memories.

When you showed the D'Angelo's for RI Weiner dogs I used to live the next street over and walked and grew up right there. If you follow main street up a little bit more you get to the towns own New york system. I spent so many years growing up biking around those streets grabbing some food for pretty cheap and then getting on the bike path that ran right next to it down to the skate park.

I'm new to this station . Have you ever done a series on steak sandwiches or the different types of chili?

[@PhantomLover007]

I love Chicago dogs. I will definitely try the Serano dogs, the Ruben dog, the fish cake dog, and a few others. One of my favorites that I had in Augusta Georgia there is the Mexican Perro. Fried hotdog with queso sauce, chorizo, jalapeños, onions, bacon, hot sauce, and French fries

[@saulito6575]

as a chicagoan, im happy to see jimmy’s red hots being featured for a second

[@JasonPadgett-xv6fz]

I've always wanted to try skyline chilli it looks really good

[@genohunter6599]

Loved this one as I used to be a Hot Dog Vendor with a Pushcart!!

[@Oonagh72]

“The best dogs sound like a dare. “-awesome sentence.

[@Reven-xm3gb]

Nice to see Detroit got such an early mention! I have eaten at both coney islands and they are both awesome! However the rubin dog sounds good!

[@christopherc5570]

so many chili dogs. i work at a mom n pop hot dog shop in chicago and we have a range of specialty dogs named after different breeds (golden retriever has mac n cheese, shredded cheddar and crushed up ritz crackers. chubby pug has bacon bbq and carmalized onion ect) and i loved watching this. always lookin for new ideas!

[@rhiannablumberg4803]

Omg Reuben dog?!? Idk why i never thought to make that delicious concoction!!!

[@neofoxboi]

The Seattle cream cheese and grilled onions sounds strange, but from a native, trust me it's super good and you should give it a try -- especially after a few drinks!

[@beer2041]

Sad to report I also live in this state, but personal opinions aside....yes....it works soooo well. I love them.

[@moksound19]

It's a top notch combo. Proud that we've got such a solid dog to put on the list.

[@aldohernandez614]

I be absolutely blasted after the clubs and the Seattle dog just hits different past 2am

I drive Uber in Phoenix, had a couple moving to Tucson from Minnesota. They asked about local cuisine, first thing that came to mind was the Sonora Dog lol

[@TurdFergurson]

I hope you told them to go to Guero Canelo on the southside.

Missed Casey's Corner on Main Street Walt Disney World, Lake Buena Vista, FL and their ever-changing seasonal dogs! Purple mustard for Halloween? Eek! Great segment, cheers.

[@toastisgood902]

Great video! 😀🌭

[@ericsimmons401]

I'm from RI, and the "hot wiener" is our style. It's sort of depicted in this video at 10:34, but chefs traditionally load a row of hotdogs onto their arms for saucing. I mean, they're standing right in front of you with a row of buns all the way up their hairy, bare arms moments before serving you. In recent years, they've cut back on this tradition (probably for sanitary reasons), but they still do it a bit. I've heard stories of people getting skeeved out and refusing to eat.

[@kmstins]

No "volcano dogs", that many here in Pittsburgh like? It's just a chili dog with lots of Frank's RedHot sauce and crushed red pepper flakes. With or without onions, it's pretty yummy. 🌭😋👌

The only time I was across the pond my colleagues said during a two day layover in New York they took me to a hotdog vendor and I can honestly say that it was hands down the best dog I’ve had, in fact I went back and ended up having two chilli dogs and a fully loaded dog as well so in that regard and to the vendor I thank you for the fine food

[@joelbjewell]

Chicago style is my all time favorite but that chili coleslaw dog looked good AF

[@fnjesusfreak]

I've had my own variation of a chili dog that probably shows its roots pretty strongly: a grilled toploader bun, either a Syracuse coney (white hot dog!) or an all-beef hot dog, a chili sauce, Tabasco and fine-shredded Cheddar.

[@ChrisW777]

ooooo that sounds so good, im from Tucson and make a variation of the Sonoran Dog

[@bettysmith4641]

Yummy 😋

[@eegee2442]

Sounds pretty good . But pls explain to me what a white hot dog is ?

[@fnjesusfreak]

@@eegee2442 Literally that. It's a hot dog that is white.

[@jayg1438]

If you like the Hofmann white hot, try a Zweigel's White hot (Rochester). Very similar, but a little different. Both excellent.

[@CoreyIsTheName]

Thanks for showing footage of Kansas City that doesn't make it look like a bunch of farms. That tends to be the default stock footage in other videos/shows/movies. Outside of KC, sure, there is no shortage of agriculture, but the city itself is decidedly urban.

[@kevinbarber7640]

Just found this video, and in October I actually went to Ben's Chili Bowl and it was AMAZING!!! We went to a concert and Ben's was right next door!

[@cjdesign5700]

Another Maine native here...grew up on the Snappy Dogs...spent time in NOVA eating half Smokes....one you missed which is a great one is the Michigan Red Hot from Plattsburg NY.

[@DarkEnv2]

Love our carolina dogs, in SC we don’t normally have the signature red dogs but they’re still delicious. When ordering we typically state we’d like a dog all the way with slaw, all the way meaning, chili, mustard and diced white onion. The key is the slaw and chili, everyone around where I live has slight variations on both but they’re all quite delicious.

[@DudeCalledJack]

I'm from NC and the Bright Leafs are ok...nothing too special. BUT you're correct about the chili and slaw! You could get a hotdog from 5 different places and all 5 would taste different! And probably all awesome haha.

[@HayTatsuko]

I like the Chicago and Cincinnati styles a bunch, though I've never been to either city!

[@Kavkaz7Z]

My favorite is the New York Dirty water hot dog. But i can understand how so many love the Chicago Hot Dog. I had my first Chicago Dog at Wrigley Field and it was amazing.

[@TheLordAI]

Me & my wife used to go to Jimmy Buffs in West Orange NJ because we lived around the corner we loved having it for lunch
