We love “MEXICAN HOT DOGS”. Has bacon, Mayo pick, onion, sour cream, little mustard, cheese.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Pam, I don't hear anything in those ingredients that suggest Mexican but it sounds delicious lol... Happy 4th!!!

[@bobbicatton]

Great experiment👍 Have a wonderful Fourth of July😊

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Bobbi, you have a great 4th as well!!! 🍻

[@gunnarbiker]

Born and raised in North Carolina but I absolutely love Nathans! I like to cook them dark loaded with chili, slaw, onions and mustard (Carolina style), Man, I gotta get some hot dogs soon. Great vid as always!

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Erik, nothing like a loaded chili dog!! Have a great Sunday!!!

[@Shurmash]

I just discovered duck fat and it is amazing. It literally enhances the flavor of anything times 10. Plus it has one of the highest food sources of vitamin K2, D2, and D3. It's amazing for healthy bones and teeth.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Shurmash, appreciate the comment!!!

[@TheBeardedItalian]

Cool experiment Mike!! I use Nathan’s hotdogs. I also score them. Nothing beats a hotdog on July 4th!! You have a safe one and take care!! 👊🏼🍻

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Oh Bearded One, I like Nathans too... Happy 4th to you too brother!!!

[@conniegonzalez6068]

Happy 4th , thanks for sharing I will try it with gee this weekend, 👍🏼👍🏼

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Connie, Happy 4th to you as well!!

[@gharv1313]

Bun size Ball Park beef franks always put a crisscross on both sides, enjoyed the comparisons!, Have a great Fourth of July 🇺🇸. Cheers

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks brother, I like the crisscross too!!

[@howardbarlow578]

Interesting, Mike. I've never used oil, per se. I just put the hotdog on and let it blister a bit. Guess I need to try this. I have ghee and bacon fat.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Howard, Happy 4th brother!!!

[@rickbooher8224]

I like the beef franks from the Sam's warehouse they are large and have a bite to them like the old fashion hot dogs of yesteryear, when cooked.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Rick, I've never had those. I'll have to give them a try... Happy 4th!!

[@BBQPITDOG]

Hey Mike I love your comparison videos like this! I was surprised by the ghee. Happy 4th Bud!

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Rob, Happy 4th to you too brother!!!

[@joebalkonis]

Yo BC! always like the videos. i rarely do this but i had a request or possibly just a question. Do you ever do fish like a salmon on the griddle? Not sure if you eat it or dont throw fish on your griddle but thought it would be a great video! Stuff always looks great. Either way keep it up and thanks for the content! Ill be down in florida enjoying the sun in August myself! Have a good one brother.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Joe, feel free to comment anytime!! I LOVE all types of seafood and living in Miami I can get it all year round fresh. However, Mrs. Big Cat is not crazy about it so I rarely cook it at home. I usually just get my seafood fix when we go down to the Keys or Miami Beach/Downtown for dinner. Have a great weekend brother!!

[@2AChef-n-BBQ]

A Sabretts dirty water dog is the best. When my wife goes home to Jersey she brings me home a foodservice case. My favorite everyday dog are Koegels Frankfurters and my Detroit coney beef👍🏼🇺🇸🍻 excellent comparative.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

With you 100% on the Sabretts dirty water. Can't get Koegels down in South Florida but I have heard the name before. Happy 4th brother!!!

[@2AChef-n-BBQ]

@@cookingwithbigcat Happy Independance day brother. I lived in Cape Coral for 3 years, I hear ya😎 Keep rocking it👍🏼🇺🇸🎸

[@kevinmarshall808]

I prefer hotdogs in a natural casing. I’ve never cooked with duck fat. I need to give it a try. Thanks for the video.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Kevin, Happy 4th!!

[@NormanMcGregor]

Life is Always better with Bacon!!!!! LOL!!!

[@cookingwithbigcat]

I would have to agree lol... Happy 4th Norman!!

[@chefbrooklyn5140]

Great Video Big Cat happy 4th July

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Chef, Happy 4th to you too brother!!!

[@almostgem]

Favorite dog is from a place called Doris Italian Market. They make their own (all beef). Closest for you would probably be in Hollyweird. You're down in the Kendall area ? yes?

[@almostgem]

Never mind found the address. Showing up as Hialeah ... Thats fine, Mine shows up as Sunrise, or Fort Lauderdale ... anything but where I live.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks John, I'm actually in Miami Lakes but right across I-75 from Hialeah Gardens so Alexa thinks I'm in Hialeah lol... I looked up Doris and there's one on Pines not too far. The pics look amazing, I will definitely be checking it out. Thanks for the tip and Happy 4th!!!

[@dougstitely5136]

Good comparison video Mike. I'm a kunzler hotdog fan, like putting 2 strips of bacon on a bun with a slice of white american cheese and some mustard and mayo. I know mayo sounds gross on a hotdog but I love it. lol. Hope you and your family have a wonderful 4th of July brother, take care!

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Ok first of all I would put Mayo on anything if it was socially acceptable!!! And I found a place 10 minutes from me (Jetro Cash and Carry) that carries Kunzler hotdogs. So I will definitely check those out!!! Happy 4th to you and yours as well my friend!!!

[@BBBYpsi]

Interesting experiment. I was really interested in how the duck fat would taste. I had no doubt the bacon would be good. The ghee I am surprised at. I make my own ghee butter once in a while. But that ghee butter made me raise an eyebrow. It looked very liquidy. Ghee should be a soft solid.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Roger, I've never had the Ghee before so I wouldn't know. You just made me raise my eyebrow lol...

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Happy 4th brother!!

[@stephensano9156]

Great dog comparison video! Bacon fat is my personal favorite. If you are looking for a great tasting alternative, I've put Worcestershire sauce on Sabrett dogs and then grill cooked them. They taste incredibly rich and delicious almost as if their was more savory flavor in the meat. I always compliment them with mustard, onions, and relish.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Never heard of Worcestershire on dogs but it sounds delicious!!! Thanks Stephen, Happy 4th!!!

[@LongsQuest]

Hey Mike, I like to score the outside of the hot dog and then cook it in bacon grease. 🤤

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Skip, yeah I like the scoring as well. Happy 4th brother!!

[@jes701]

Hot dogs 🌭 on the griddle come on big cat. It's 4th of July bust out the grill

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Lol this is true, I will be breaking out my Weber Kettle today for sure!!! Happy 4th!!

[@francisagosh2175]

I like to have Hoffman’s of New York German snappers with mustard onions and relish.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

That sounds delish!!! Thanks Francis and Happy 4th!!

[@francisagosh2175]

[@kathyvaughn5546]

Haven't seen that duck fat in a jar. I'd love to come across some of that and try a few things with it. Nice video and I love ghee.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Kathy, I actually got the duck fat at Walmart. Looking forward to using it as well. Happy 4th!!!

[@tips8762]

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks Carmela, I got this one at Walmart. Happy 4th!!

[@mrbr549]

I would eat any of those you made, lol. Love this kind of video.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Let me tell you it was not easy holding off on crushing all three of these. Full disclosure I did eat the whole Ghee one lol... Happy 4th!!

[@johnryder2878]

Yo you're missing out if you haven't had Nathans.. they are the best hands down.

[@cookingwithbigcat]

Thanks John, I've had Nathans and yes they are good...

[@34Poolside]

Great Video BTW!! Costco Quarter Pound Beef Hotdogs are an acceptable substitute.

[@34Poolside]

Breaux You Gotta Try The Vienna All Beef Hotdog!! "I'll Take The Pepsi Challenge" Between Sabretts and Vienna
