A couple of weeks ago we did a hot dog taste test and we thought we were pretty thorough. Well, we heard about all these other brands that we should have included to make it fair.  Evidently, there are many regions in the U.S.A. that specialize in certain brands of hot dog, who knew? We decided to follow up our original experiment with a second installment of the Top Dog contest. I invited our good friend Ninja from Salty Tales Channel to come help taste so that I could not be blamed for playing favorites. Let me tell you, the results were nothing short of surprising! We were both equally shocked at the results. The winner----well, you’ll just have to watch the video to see for yourself!

  • Zweigles pop open texas hots are the best hots in the world and are sold on the east coast and NYS by wegmans supermarkets and several other chains. I have them shipped to Alabama

  • The way you ran the test this time, viewers have no way to correlate your comments with any of the brands. I suspect that the Feltman’s were the ones that you identified as having a great snap, but I have no way of knowing for sure. And I’d sure like to know which brand tasted like baloney and which one had the chicken-like flavor (assuming that neither was among the top 3).
    Also, I went out and bought a package of Sabrett’s (which were my favorite brand 40 years ago when I was in college) after your first test, and I have to say that I wasn’t impressed. My favorites at the moment are Nathan’s.
