I want to thank you for this video. I know it's 2 years old but I only found it a few months ago. I am a huge lover of everything hot dog and sausage. I am English, Scottish Welsh and German, so I feel like it's just in my blood to love sausages. And I really love hot dogs! I'm that person that if you offered me a burger or a hot dog, I'm going to take the hot dog. So, this was really a big deal for me. Last night, we bought the Morning Star hot dogs. Today my youngest child, my 13-year-old, and I tried them. I truly cannot thank you enough. I wanted to cry. There is what you want to do that you know is right in your heart and in your spirit, but it struggles against beloved childhood memories and things that we truly love and crave. I ate this hot dog just a few minutes ago and I just felt such a huge weight off my shoulders. I will also continue to try to make my own with the videos that you share but it is so nice to know that there is something that I can enjoy in a quicker fashion when needed and it totally satisfies. It hits all the buttons for me, everything nostalgic was met. I thank you so much for your channel. I hope you know that for those of us who truly want to do the right thing because we love animals and we love this planet, you helping us to do the right thing is such a gift and a blessing. I truly cannot thank you enough. I know this is an older video and I'm not sure you'll even see this message but I wanted to say thank you and bless you for what you're doing.

Honestly even real hot dogs are so processed and far from actual meat so it doesn't seem to be all that hard to create them with plants

[@shaymorcormick8743]

Kinda why I think it was a good idea to start selling them at fast food joints with the impossible burger. Fast food burgers are already so low quality and full of fillers it is already a low bar to clear. An impossible burger next to a regular McDonald's or burger King burger is pretty comparable but put it up against a real grilled burger and it isn't even in the same ball park.

After seeing this I was intrigued, but I can NOT find the Field Roast dogs in stores. However... my mother-in-law got us "veggie dogs" from Morning Star, and being vegan for many years, I stopped bothering to look at Morning Star since they almost always included dairy, eggs, or both. I was blown away! Not only are these vegan, they taste JUST like I remember real hot dogs tasting. I'm kind of bummed they weren't in this hot dog rank-a-thon Edit: I finally had the stadium dogs, and I can definitively say I prefer the Morning Star ones

[@MrShowoff27]

I like seeing this kind of taste tests

[@RavensWingTarot]

The Feild Roast brands are my absolute favorite. Light Life was absolutely disgusting. They had a bizarre chemical flavor, but the texture was spot on. I ended up mincing them, frying the crap out of them and using them in chili.

[@brendajones9377]

Lightlife fried or grilled are OK, but I use them mainly to make a spread with them. It tastes pretty much like I remember potted meat tasting. I love anything Field Roast!

Aldi used to have their own vegan hot dog and that one was pretty spot on in my opinion, but thanks so much for being so thorough! Now I know for sure what to buy

I tried those once. They were so-so for me. I guess Aldi dropped the brand.

[@christophermorin9036]

Those were the Earth-Grown brand right? Never tried the hotdogs but I did attempt the sausages. I found them Okay....Good flavor, but definitely more tofu-ish than hot dog and they stuck to the pan and burned VERY easily.

[@thatveganchick668]

Yes!

[@RavensWingTarot]

[@deementia6796]

Nailed it! I tend to get the Lite-life dogs, mostly because they are usually 1.50 less than the Field Roast, and you get 2 extra dogs. Boil 'em and then air fry'em!

[@RobinOrzo]

Totally agree! The taste of the stadium dogs with the texture of smart dogs, and maybe a slight ‘skin’ on the outside like a beyond sausage and BAM perfect dog!

[@emmettpickerel5016]

You mentioned liking Lightlife more than in the past. This might be because they're normally wheat-free, but for several months last year they silently started adding wheat gluten to the detriment of not only coeliacs' health but also the texture. They returned to the wheat-free recipe early this year I think, but when you tried it before it might have been the alt recipe

[@1029blue]

Thanks for mentioning that. I know they aren't officially gluten-free, but I (a celiac) had the Lightlife sausage when it didn't have wheat, and it was pretty good. I see that they removed the wheat again, but they are still not labeled gluten-free. I'll see if I might have them every once in a while.

the things is, these people are all being asked to be hyper aware of the flavor and everything so that they can give it a rating. if you randomly handed them any one of these (with the exception of upton) in a bun with some condiments, they'd have no problem with them and probably wouldn't even notice it was vegan.

[@P-_-S]

My very first veggie dog (and probably fake meat in general) was in the early 1990s while at a neighbor's house who were SDA and attended service in Loma Linda, CA (we lived in the city next door). At the time I was too young to know what SDAs were about and more specifically the dietary elements of it and no one told me it was a veggie dog, so I just bit into it completely unaware and was completely repulsed at the unexpected flavor and texture. At first I thought it was spoiled food, then I started looking closer at it and could tell it wasn't meat but was still really confused as to what was going on. I really wonder if they were Loma Linda dogs, quite likely. In my memory, it looked almost kind of subtly green in the right light, but that may just be my kid brain imprinting a bad memory. Regardless, it very poorly colored my opinion of fake meat for a long time, but now as a vegan I think back on that memory in a different light.

Definitely the best out of the 3 different kinds I've tried. Now I want to get another pack and compare them side by side with Lightlife and actual hot dogs, just out of curiosity.

[@injunsun]

@Sauce Stache, I haven't had Worthington/Loma Linda in a long time. Their faux ham, as of last year, still has egg whites. This canned was my favourite waaay back in 1988-91, but they need to be grilled, not boiled. Grilled, their skin bubbles and becomes snappy, and their taste and texture is great. But it's been over 30 years since I've found them in any store (I'm in Knoxville since late '93, Kalamazoo before then). As for the sweetness, remember, the Morningstar is used in their corndogs, which have a touch of sweetness in their cornbread, which is a touch controversial in "The South" (while "up North," nobody calls it, "The North," and we could all give af). The corndogs, regular or mini, are amazing. My Omni husbands loved/love those. Btw, in the few ratings videos I've done, years ago (see my puny YT channel), I used a 5x5 point scale, with taste/texture, usefulness as intended, nutrition, cost, and allergens as my bases. The highest rating is, then, 25, easily scalable to a letter grade. I usually only did two products at a time, not always the same kind of thing. If I do more, now that there are so many more products, I'll follow your lead, and do comparable products. Feel free to borrow my point scale, gratis. I'd be honoured. P.P.S. My baby, Alistair, age 14, just died last night, so I'm distracting myself. Thanks for your quality content. For a few minutes, I didn't feel so gd alone.

Loved watching this! 😂🤣your friends were making me laugh! Especially the one in the green Nike shirt! One thing non vegans need to understand is these are not "cow/chicken mechanically separated part hot dogs".... they need to take it for what they are....I love the field roast and sweet life... just saying 😊

Field roast sausages are awesome too

I love when you have JP on.

Field Roast makes a fantastic roast beef thing and a holiday breaded roast. Unfortunately I guess sales were bad so they only sell it during Thanksgiving and Christmas now.

Talk about when worlds collide, I haven't seen JT & Julia since 2014, wow

The Big Franks brushed with oil on a hot grill are delicious

Going to have to go look for field roast. Love their sausages. I think if Albertsons/Safeway doesn't have it Natural Grocers is the only place left to check. Loma Linda is the og. I remember buying it for my vegan FIL.

If you haven't already, you gotta try the Sweet Earth jumbo dogs! I've tried a lot of vegan dogs and those wipe the floor with everything else imo

[@orchid0814]

I agree!!

The video I've been waiting for! Thank you. I hope I can find the winning brand somewhere bc I've never seen it in our stores. Could you do a vid about which dogs actually grill the best? So far none seem to handle grilling well, which makes it a bummer at a bbq. The best result I've been able to manage is boiling first then dropping on the grill for just a couple of minutes, but that's hard to do at somebody else's bbq.

I've had the Field Roast sausages (spicy mexican Chipotle, and apple and sage) and they're soooooooo salty. They were so hard to finish. I'd consider trying the stadium dogs, but I've been hurt before... 😂

Tell your friend James to check out the episodes of Patti's Kitchen for hotdogs Sonoran, Morelia and El Sabor. Awesome ideas for even vegan hotdogs

[@adamcrisis8442]

The uptons are so yummy but theyre spiced heavily and you're totally right that they need to re brand.

[@veganleigh4817]

I'm going to look for the Stadium Dogs. I've tried all of the others, plus Aldi's Earth Grown, and I'm not crazy about any of them. They're passable on a bun with the fixings, but I actually prefer making my own. But, I am definitely going to look for those. Thanks for the video.

My favorite vegan hotdogs are Morningstar Farms. They taste the most like real hotdogs and have a realistic texture.

[@lidarman2]

I enjoy Field Roast Products.

When I lived in England and my kids were young, in the days when we were vegetarian but not vegan, the easiest way to feed guest children was Tivall hotdogs. A universal favorite. Many vegetarian producers have made the move to vegan ranges, but sadly not Tivall. I also believe they are a kibbutz producer on stolen Palestinian land, so maybe not ethical for other non vegan reasons. Still haven't had a hotdog that matches theirs though.

[@drandadeleon9327]

we always get the large light life dogs. I like mine with vegan mayo and ketchup. The smaller ones I like to cut in half and make hot dog sandwich. definitely going to try those stadium dogs.
