Chicago Dog is the Best! Even though a All Beef Dog is the key! Hot dogs are the best. Depends on what mood you are in, to give a 9 or a 10! They are all good.
I tried the new york using vienna sour kraut, nathans hotdogs, red onion ( I failed I need to make the red onion sauce ) and unfortunately I used yellow mustard I gotta pick up some spicy brown. I have to admit even tho it wasn't a true New York it was still good. Im a 5th Gen Chicagoan and I will admit the New York is good but Chicago is my heart and soul. We have best pizza tho FOGO, lol much 💘 Helluva job New York.
It is a shame we lost some great Chicago-based Kosher hot dog brands over a decade ago. Sara Lee acquired Best’s Kosher (historically Oscherwitz from Cincinnati founded in 1880’s), Sinai 48, and Shofar; and closed them all in 2009. The original Costco food court dog was a Kosher Sinai 48 dog.
There's nothing like grabbing a Chgo dog, fires & soda. Even a bigger treat is the Maxwell Street Polish. I'm sitting here *salivating* at the thought of a Polish with tons of grilled onions & relish. If any of you Non-Chicagoans ever come to Chgo, make sure you try them both. *BTW, I had 3-of the dirty water NY* *Dogs(minus the Kraut) not bad*
I’m from New York, and ironically Joe Sahlen is my neighbor, but Chicago dog is the way to go. I got hooked when flying to Ft. McCoy from Buffalo. My layover at Ohare is where I got hooked. Nathan’s also has an all beef dog with a natural case. AFAIK, the traditional Chicago dog is steamed, not boiled.
Steamed is definitely the norm in Chicago, I never see any place boil them. However, I do prefer them on the grill. The thing is to be careful here, what I mean is not all the places use Vienna. Some use Chicago Red Hots which actually is very similar to Vienna and one of the most popular spots uses David Berg hotdogs. Personally I don’t care for the Berg hotdogs, it’s ok but not nearly as good as Vienna.
I have Nathan’s and Hebrew National. They do not sell Vienna or Sabretts in our grocery. I am partial to Chicago dogs but never had New York dirty water dog.
I'm so glad that you weaseled out of actually outright proclaiming an absolute winner, and I mean that very much as a compliment. I absolutely adore both super classic Sabrett's from NYC street corners, soaking all day in super tasty dirty water (it's like NYC Pho), but also Chicago hot dogs dragged through the garden, with such delicious poppy seed rolls. It's impossible to pick a favorite child - sometimes! And this really is one of those times!
I grew up in Chicago but lived in NYC most of my life and love both. "I don't think I wanna know" is the correct answer lol! I was at a Yankees game once on a hot day and saw the sweat from the hot dog vendor's forehead drip right into the water as he was grabbing the hot dogs. I skipped having a hot dog that day.
I am in southeast Texas but one of my very best friends was raised near Chicago. I ate a Vienna Beef dog for the first time that I ordered online about a month ago. He insisted that we use Clausen’s for the pickle. I have eaten Chicago style dogs before but not from Vienna Beef. I loved the Chicago style and have eaten them for about 30 years. I just finally had an authentic Vietna Beef dog. Great stuff. Houston is about 90 minutes away and they used to have a restaurant called New York Hotdog Lady. It was an older retired couple from NY that tried to get a pushcart business going in Houston but Houston denied them except the store front and I think they finally packed their bags and went back to NY. At least while they were nearby, I got to eat Sabrett’s with their authentic onion sauce. I also got to eat the knish for the only time in my life. So even being a local here in Texas, my favorite hotdogs are Sabrett ‘s kraut dogs and Vienna Beef Chicago dogs. Great stuff from north of the Mason-Dixon Line.
Absolutely! Vlasic pickles are yellow, mushy and way to vinegary for me. Give me the natural-colored, crisp (refrigerated) and clean tasting Claussen ANYDAY! 😋
Spending decades at Chicago hot dog joints, surprisingly few people order dogs totally "dragged through the garden"...most folks pick and choose from the ingredients, with sport peppers and tomatoes quite often left off. The most common dog I've seen ordered is topped with just mustard, onion, and celery salt...with the pickle on the side.
Great test, I'm an Upstate, NY guy, Hoffmann Dogs are killer on the grill with spicy brown mustard and diced onions. The Chicago dog looks insanely awesome!
I’m from Rochester we get Zweigles and I love them to death, I got family from Syracuse so I’ve had my fair share of Hoffmann’s. Let me tell you though I really can’t pick between the two… Unless we’re talking white hots, I’m taking Zweigles all day!!
My love of Vienna Beef dogs had nothing to do with being Chicago Style as I first had them as a kid in Hollywood and never knew of Chicago Style back then. I used to get them at a place called the Sunset Grill of the Don Henley song "Down At The Sunset Grill" fame. The man who opened the place in 1948 after he came to America from Austria was named Joe Frolich and I went to school with his daughter. He used to steam the dogs and when you ordered one he split it and put the flats sides on the flat top grill. Then when he flipped them onto the other side he put a slice of Velveta cheese to melt and then on the bun added some chili and it was pure magic. He also served them on a Kaiser style hot dog bun.
I think I need therapy now🤣 They all look amazing! I grew up on dirty water dogs, but do love the char when grilled. The toppings on both are just perfect (I'll add celery salt to my NY dog, don't tell anyone. Plays really well with sauerkraut!) One to check out is Gray's Papaya.... Those are griddled, and that's how I'm cooking now outdoors. Great video Ron!
Honestly, I think I needed therapy before making this video! LOL! I also have to admit that I have become a celery salt junkie. I put that sh*t on everything!
Awesome segment! Perfect follow-up to the grilled hot dog video. As someone who grew up with Chicago dogs, I can say we have a tradition of both grilled (often called a char dog) and boiled dogs. They're both good, just depends on your mood. For my money, if you go the char route, you can't beat a jumbo Vienna beef dog. You can char the outside nicely without drying out the inside too much.
The best way is to boil it first then put the boiled dog on the grill to char it. They split open on the grill this way as they char, that's how they do it at the better hot dog stands as the dog stays moist.
For Grilled, I prefer the non natural casing, the natural casing works better for boiling, more snap. (I prefer the boiled with the natural cased vienna beefs).
In the opening scenes of the movie "Sudden Impact", Dirty Harry Callahan is saying that the murders and robberies don't bother him...but watching the forensic examiner eat a hot dog makes him "sick to his stomach". Because "Nobody, I mean NOBODY puts ketchup on a hot dog!" 🤣
I grew up around New York so I'm quite content with a dirty water dog plain or with a little bit of mustard, but that Chicago dog looked like a gourmet dog with all of those toppings!
As a native Chiacgoan, I can attest that surprisingly few people order dogs with ALL those toppings...quite often it's just mustard, onion, relish and celery salt...with perhaps a pickle on the side.
Neither is better, they're just different. I happen to prefer the vegetables on Chicago dogs, but that's just me. In Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin, you'll get bratwurst.
Excellent. I’m envious you had authentic ingredients! My theory about sport peppers is to delay eating them until you’ve finished eating the hot dog. I’d squirt the juice on though. The soggy dills aren’t what I recall eating. Those I had on the south side of Chicago (in the 1970’s) were crisp.
Steamed is definitely the norm in Chicago, I never see any place boil them. However, I do prefer them on the grill. The thing is to be careful here, what I mean is not all the places use Vienna. Some use Chicago Red Hots which actually is very similar to Vienna and one of the most popular spots uses David Berg hotdogs. Personally I don’t care for the Berg hotdogs, it’s ok but not nearly as good as Vienna.
This is a comment about buns. We seem to have a problem finding good buns that stay fresh. We settled on Pepperidge Farm until someone at that company decided to make “top-sliced” buns. Same bun, just sliced differently. Problem is, the top-sliced don’t cover the dogs well. On the regular, aka side-sliced, the dogs snuggle in quite nicely. Any thoughts on top-sliced and why they are pushing them?
I grew up in Chicago, near Fluky's on Western and Pratt, and not too far from Wolfy's on Peterson, as well as a few smaller mom and pop places in the 70s. Love a Chicago dog made with Vienna Beef hot dogs. But, love NY style dogs, and there are a few brands to choose from. I live in Arizona, so don't have access to a good and hearty hot dog place (although the California chain Wienershnitzel is a great chain in its own right, and we have one of those nearby) so have to create my own dogs, and I like the freedom to make my own choice in which kind to have. We moved to California in 1980 and I did get spoiled by the Original Tommy's chain of chili burgers and chili dogs (Tommy's is a kind of rival to In-N-Out) and my latest obsession is copying their chili recipe. Chicago style, NY style and even L.A. chili dog style is the best of ALL worlds, I must say!
Love the video! You need to make more videos with Brooklyn Bobby and Chicago Chuck😂. I’d like to see a face off with those two arguing about NY pizza vs. Chicago deep dish😎
I’ve never had a NY dog like that, it was just yellow mustard and now I feel like I missed out. I grew up on Chicago dogs but that NY dogs look super good. Either way you are a winner after eating these beauts!
It's common to have a "char dog" option at a Chicago hot dog stand. They usually just take one out of the water and put it on the grill to char, they split open on the grill which looks and tastes fantastic. That little bit of extra cooking comes with a price surcharge though!
Chicago all the way all the way! Chicagoan lived in NYC for 24 years. As sure as you can only get a Phili Cheese in Phili & Bananas Fosters in Louisiana.
Went to an LA Kings vs NY Rangers Stanley Cup game in LA and they have the California Dogs being cooked outside Staples Center and damn were they good, bacon wrapped with grilled onions.
Some of our joints in Chicago do traditional with char. Chicago char dog definitely hits the as good but different at the same time. The my dog is so good too. Our neighbor Wisconsin dresses a traditional brat the same as the NY dog. Sauerkraut and yellow mustard but raw onions. So good
If you like Italian beefs, LUKE'S makes the best in Chicagoland. I like them dipped in the au jus, dripping wet with sweet peppers. Funny, but I have NEVER tried LUKE'S dogs!
NJ home of deep fried Rippers (Hiram’s/Rhutts Hutt/Hot Dog Johnny’s), Texas Weiner style chili dogs(Hot Grill), and the Italian hot dog(Jimmy Buffs) put New York and Chicago to shame.
I LOVE the charred EXTRA flavor so much that I split the dog and grill it face-down to get ALL that grilled char flavor directly into the center of the dog...AWESOME TASTE!. The dog will curl on you a bit, but it still fits in the bun perfectly and helps hold the toppings. LONG LIVE THE WEST VIRGINIA HOT DOG, BABY!!!
You killed it on both accents funny as hell. Those poppy seed buns and sport peppers look interesting. What section of the Bronx are you from? I grew up in the Riverdale/Kingsbridge area.
Scandalously, I love a microwave dog best, a pan fried in butter with an iron skillet second, grilled, deep fried (ripped), and lastly boiled. I think the toppings you use dictate what cooking style you do.
Just got home to PA from Chicago this afternoon. I really enjoyed the Chicago hot dog. I'm just a fan of hot dogs 😋 I never knew New York had their own type of hot dogs. Can't wait to try it one day. This was a great video!
They are both great, but not really a fair comparison based on toppings. I grew up on dirty water dogs and Jersey Rippers in North Jersey and love them, but I have to admit the Chicago dog is better. I have to get a hot dog anytime I travel. Have had them in Iceland, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Munich, Amsterdam, etc. and honestly Europe has some excellent hotdogs. No real way to compare them all head to head though. Wish I could. Grilled is better than boiled, but there is the sentiment or nostalgia factor to the DWD.
I just had to pause your video at ~3:50 to post this honest comment before moving on... I need to say that you may have potentially tainted the flavoring of each brand (and thus, the boiled taste-test) by boiling them together in the same water! After all, as I understand it, "the dirtier the dog, the better the dog flavor" when boiling in same-flavor "dirty" water (In fact, I think that is supposed to be the whole premise of the "dirty water" concept, supposedly!). ...But now I need to continue watching your video.🤤
Yeah, we had thought about that too. We figured that it would probably make a bigger difference if there were dogs cooked in the same water over and over again. I'm not sure that the first time in clean water would really make a difference.
by the way...noting simple about the nyc onions...which are made with a red wine reduction and ketchup balsamic vinegar...and about 8 other spices and ingredients...
Fun videos, I wonder if I put strips of steak on the dogs would it be as valid as throwing all that stuff on the hotdog? Tomatoes, pickles, celery salt? So gross. Something not mentioned is serving temp. New challenge, serve three Sabretts, one right out of the boiling water, one after sitting on a plate for 5 minutes......and maybe one wrapped in foil, on a steamed bun for 15minutes. Does it make a big difference? For me, the disappointment when biting into a warm dog, is different than a hot hotdog exploding in your mouth. Yeah...I said it.
Chicago dog for me, but with a jumbo smoked beef sausage. Some of da best! I also do jumbo smoked pork sausages with brat buns, cilantro, spicy mustard, onions and chipotle aioli.
It can be hard to find Poppy Seed Hot dog buns. To make them: Make an egg wash, brush the bun with the egg wash. Sprinkle poppy seeds on the buns then, toast the bun in the oven. 😃
Aw man! I hoped you were going to do a Vienna Beef sausage NY style, and vice-versa with the Sabrettes. Flip the sausage used. Which is the better actual sausage NY style and CHI style? New ideas for a new video!
That's what I'm talking about!!! I am coming to your house for supper sometime. Lol!!! I do like my Vienna's on the grill as well.... There used to be a hot dog stand in Chicago called Toots. They actually boiled the Vienna dogs in beer. They tasted great! Awesome channel! You won me over.
Get some Portillo's hot dogs and do a blind test vs Sabrett's and the Chicago dogs in this video. But NO TOPPINGS Just bun. Get the buns Portillo's are using on all three dogs.
I’ve tried Chicago dogs from a few places and I’ve tried making them myself. I don’t get it. It’s just way too much to put on a hotdog. You can barely taste the beef. It’s a big pile of vinegar and vegetables. If I wanted a salad I’d eat a salad.
To me the best hot dog in NY are the kosher hot dogs you get from Jewish delis, who get their dogs I think from Hebrew National. I get my deli dogs with potato salad on top, thought I was the only one that ordered them like that but a guy that served one to me said that was a classic way to order it. Oh, I tried to replicate one at home by buying supermarket Hebrew National and supermarket potato salad but it's not the same. You can't buy the same casing franks at the supermarket, I've only seen Hebrew National skinless which doesn't taste as good and deli potato salad is also better.
Grilled definitely is better! As for the bun and toppings for Chicago vs New York dog's it's like comparing apples to oranges. We like you make both types with one exception only yellow mustard on all of ours. We also like to make Italian Hotdogs which could compete for the win with both of these hotdogs types!
Its really hard to replicate a nyc hot dog, as people just get sabrett and stop there. Its the water, buns and topping. The buns I believe are rockland bakery its a local brand. Also sadly a lot of hot dog venders in nyc have moved away from sabrett for cost reasons. There using cheaper hot dogs that taste terrible. If in NYC ask if there sabrett.
I do like the Chicago style dog better than the NY street dog or Jewish deli dog though. Anytime I go to Chicago, I have to get a dog. I also liked a dog or maybe it was a sausage that I got from a Toronto food cart and in Germany those wurst sandwich trucks are really good.
Great video!!!! My daughter also resembles me. The first Chicago dog I had was in a casing, which also makes a texture difference. I ordered a Chicago kit from Vienna Beef about a week ago. Can't wait for them to get here!!!
I love both styles but I am from close to Chicago so of course the Chicago dog is my favorite. This isn't to say that a dirty water dog off a cart in New York is second to any other dog, anywhere.

@@miguelito2361 I'm with you on sans the dayglo relish - too sweet. But I love the rest of the 'salad' that goes on a classic Chi-dog.

It's common to have a "char dog" option at a Chicago hot dog stand. They usually just take one out of the water and put it on the grill to char, they split open on the grill which looks and tastes fantastic. That little bit of extra cooking comes with a price surcharge though!
I'm headed there next week and will ask them to do that on some of the 32 hot dogs I'll probably consume while I am there.
@@FOGOcharcoal My favorite place for a char dog is Wiener's Circle on Lincoln, they always have the best quality toppings there.
I didn’t know that thanks.
Vienna beef, rolled on a grill on a sesame seed bun... MONEY!
I'm in!
Love your guys charcoal !
Well, thanks so much! Hit me on Instagram, I'll send you out some stickers! @cptnron302
Chicago all the way all the way!
Chicagoan lived in NYC for 24 years.
As sure as you can only get a Phili Cheese in Phili & Bananas Fosters in Louisiana.
Two thumbs up , Very well done.
Thank you! Cheers!
NY sabrettes with onions, sauerkraut and mustard. The bomb.
You know that's right!
Awesome video - nice job. It's like Chicago vs NY pizza. If it's well made and delicious, it's all good - just different.
No argument from me. I happen to be in Chicago right now. Guess what dinner is tomorrow.....
Chicagooooooo!! 👍🤛
A fine choice for sure!
Boiled - NYC, Grilled - Chicago, both are so good. Oh, for an authentic NY Dirty Water Dog, you have to boil it in spiced water.
Ya can't go wrong with either one!
Went to an LA Kings vs NY Rangers Stanley Cup game in LA and they have the California Dogs being cooked outside Staples Center and damn were they good, bacon wrapped with grilled onions.
I've had never heard of a grilled vienna dog ...
We are groundbreakers! LOL, I was actually in Choi Town this week and had one that was steamed, then split open and griddled. It was amazing!!!
Opening was great, now have to go the store you made hungry 🤤
The best compliment there is
0:48 *Those are amazing accents hahaha*
LOL, thank you!
Some of our joints in Chicago do traditional with char. Chicago char dog definitely hits the as good but different at the same time. The my dog is so good too. Our neighbor Wisconsin dresses a traditional brat the same as the NY dog. Sauerkraut and yellow mustard but raw onions. So good
I live in the UK and am able to get TGI Fridays jalapeno cheese hot dogs here. They are sooooo tasty. If you can get them, please do a taste test!
They sound delicious
I agree with you on preferrin’ the grilled dogs! That char flavor just can’t be beat! Love the content!!!
I'm so glad you're enjoying it Fernie, thank you for your constant support.
I forgot to mention, never boil a Kowalski dog, they MUST be grilled exclusively over charcoal!
I’m from NYC and I wanna visit Chicago just to try Chicago hot dogs and Chicago pizza .
They're both very different and both very delicious!
Don't forget Italian Beef sandwiches 👍 Enjoy.
If you're ever in Chicago, try Peep's, Portillos for their dogs. Sadly, I think "Hippo's" has closed. I believe the owners passed away.
I just got home from Chicago 2 days ago
@@FOGOcharcoal I hope you had some hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches and gyros sandwiches!
If you like Italian beefs, LUKE'S makes the best in Chicagoland. I like them dipped in the au jus, dripping wet with sweet peppers. Funny, but I have NEVER tried LUKE'S dogs!
Trolly Stop Hotdogs....Oak Island, NC
You should not have put in the same water mix’s the flavors a big no no
NJ home of deep fried Rippers (Hiram’s/Rhutts Hutt/Hot Dog Johnny’s), Texas Weiner style chili dogs(Hot Grill), and the Italian hot dog(Jimmy Buffs) put New York and Chicago to shame.
Oh man, no doubt. I love me a Jersey fried dog
I LOVE the charred EXTRA flavor so much that I split the dog and grill it face-down to get ALL that grilled char flavor directly into the center of the dog...AWESOME TASTE!. The dog will curl on you a bit, but it still fits in the bun perfectly and helps hold the toppings.
LONG LIVE THE WEST VIRGINIA HOT DOG, BABY!!!
So good! I go to a place outside of Chicago that will split them and throw them face down on the griddle for me for a bit. Heavenly!
Another great video. I will stop for lunch at Home Depot just to get the Chicago Polish Dog! It is amazing! Yes the polish Dog, Chicago Style!!
Never had one but in Chicago the hot dog and the polish are two different animals.
You killed it on both accents funny as hell. Those poppy seed buns and sport peppers look interesting. What section of the Bronx are you from? I grew up in the Riverdale/Kingsbridge area.
Thanks my friend! Born in pelham Bay General but we lived in Parkchester. My fam was all around Westchester Square
Scandalously, I love a microwave dog best, a pan fried in butter with an iron skillet second, grilled, deep fried (ripped), and lastly boiled. I think the toppings you use dictate what cooking style you do.
Hot dog scandal!!!
Actually, I had some leftover Vienna beef dogs. I microwaved them and dunked them in mustard. They were awesome.
Honestly, I just do a hot dog with ketchup, mustard, and mayo.
I may have to skip the ketchup....
Detroit has the best hot dogs. A Detroit style coney with a grilled Koegel dog, chilli onions and mustard!
Just got home to PA from Chicago this afternoon. I really enjoyed the Chicago hot dog. I'm just a fan of hot dogs 😋 I never knew New York had their own type of hot dogs. Can't wait to try it one day. This was a great video!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
I would have liked to see a winner between the two of them. Maybe bring back the Ninja and have him do a blind taste test!
Hey, you never kow when Ninja is going to show up again!
They are both great, but not really a fair comparison based on toppings. I grew up on dirty water dogs and Jersey Rippers in North Jersey and love them, but I have to admit the Chicago dog is better. I have to get a hot dog anytime I travel. Have had them in Iceland, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Munich, Amsterdam, etc. and honestly Europe has some excellent hotdogs. No real way to compare them all head to head though. Wish I could.
Grilled is better than boiled, but there is the sentiment or nostalgia factor to the DWD.
I would not argue with a single word you said....
I just had to pause your video at ~3:50 to post this honest comment before moving on... I need to say that you may have potentially tainted the flavoring of each brand (and thus, the boiled taste-test) by boiling them together in the same water! After all, as I understand it, "the dirtier the dog, the better the dog flavor" when boiling in same-flavor "dirty" water (In fact, I think that is supposed to be the whole premise of the "dirty water" concept, supposedly!). ...But now I need to continue watching your video.🤤
Yeah, we had thought about that too. We figured that it would probably make a bigger difference if there were dogs cooked in the same water over and over again. I'm not sure that the first time in clean water would really make a difference.
by the way...noting simple about the nyc onions...which are made with a red wine reduction and ketchup balsamic vinegar...and about 8 other spices and ingredients...
It is very simple when you go buy a bag of them at the grocery store
NYC for the win 🏆🥇 The best!!💯💯💯💯
I like your style
Chicago baby ❤
Fun videos, I wonder if I put strips of steak on the dogs would it be as valid as throwing all that stuff on the hotdog? Tomatoes, pickles, celery salt? So gross. Something not mentioned is serving temp. New challenge, serve three Sabretts, one right out of the boiling water, one after sitting on a plate for 5 minutes......and maybe one wrapped in foil, on a steamed bun for 15minutes. Does it make a big difference? For me, the disappointment when biting into a warm dog, is different than a hot hotdog exploding in your mouth. Yeah...I said it.
LOL, yes you did, you said it.....
Chicago dog for me, but with a jumbo smoked beef sausage. Some of da best! I also do jumbo smoked pork sausages with brat buns, cilantro, spicy mustard, onions and chipotle aioli.
I need an invite
It can be hard to find Poppy Seed Hot dog buns. To make them: Make an egg wash, brush the bun with the egg wash. Sprinkle poppy seeds on the buns then, toast the bun in the oven. 😃
Exactly!!!
Next time, try Italian Hot Dogs from Newark NJ & A 'ripper' from Rutts, Clifton NJ. Both unique and great.
OK, thanks!
Aw man! I hoped you were going to do a Vienna Beef sausage NY style, and vice-versa with the Sabrettes. Flip the sausage used. Which is the better actual sausage NY style and CHI style? New ideas for a new video!
It's a dirty water dog because they saturate the water with flavor by adding beef boullion and spices making the water look dirty...
So tasty!
Those northern dogs, phesh! Lol! Just playing love it.
Sorry, I'll try to do some more with more rooted Southern Traditions........
That's what I'm talking about!!! I am coming to your house for supper sometime. Lol!!!
I do like my Vienna's on the grill as well.... There used to be a hot dog stand in Chicago called Toots. They actually boiled the Vienna dogs in beer. They tasted great! Awesome channel! You won me over.
Come on Tim, I cleared a spot at the table for ya
try them , take a bite if it needs ketchup IM Adding ketchup to them. NO Matter, What!!!! Tell me what condiments I can and can't use.
steve-175 has been removed from the chat. LOL, hey, you do you my friend, no worries.....
You should have steamed the dogs. Much better flavor retention than boiling. I wouldn't pay for a boiled hot dog. A cheap street vender's process.
Well, we are a charcoal company so.......
Get some Portillo's hot dogs and do a blind test vs Sabrett's and the Chicago dogs in this video. But NO TOPPINGS Just bun. Get the buns Portillo's are using on all three dogs.
I love Portillos
I grew up with Bar-S dogs and now watching this I realize my parents probably hated us kids. I need to try both of these dogs.
LOL, that is too funny!
Bar-S dogs, my condolences.
I’ve tried Chicago dogs from a few places and I’ve tried making them myself. I don’t get it. It’s just way too much to put on a hotdog. You can barely taste the beef. It’s a big pile of vinegar and vegetables. If I wanted a salad I’d eat a salad.
I guess the NY Style is more for you!
My new favorite channel I just found. 😎🥃🌭
Wow, thanks!
To me the best hot dog in NY are the kosher hot dogs you get from Jewish delis, who get their dogs I think from Hebrew National. I get my deli dogs with potato salad on top, thought I was the only one that ordered them like that but a guy that served one to me said that was a classic way to order it. Oh, I tried to replicate one at home by buying supermarket Hebrew National and supermarket potato salad but it's not the same. You can't buy the same casing franks at the supermarket, I've only seen Hebrew National skinless which doesn't taste as good and deli potato salad is also better.
You are not alone John, I love a dog with potato salad on it!
I like my Chicago the same except no peppers with celery salt....the kicker is malt vinegar..try it!!!!
I can see that! Malt vinegar makes everything better
Grilled definitely is better! As for the bun and toppings for Chicago vs New York dog's it's like comparing apples to oranges. We like you make both types with one exception only yellow mustard on all of ours. We also like to make Italian Hotdogs which could compete for the win with both of these hotdogs types!
That is exactly why I didn't pick a favorite between the two. So differnt and both so good
The correct answer to the question of New York or Chicago is Detroit. It's true of pizza and it's true of hot dogs.
I will have to look up a Detroit dog but yes, I do love sme good Detroit pizza. that sweet sauce and that crispy cheese rim....
Its really hard to replicate a nyc hot dog, as people just get sabrett and stop there. Its the water, buns and topping. The buns I believe are rockland bakery its a local brand. Also sadly a lot of hot dog venders in nyc have moved away from sabrett for cost reasons. There using cheaper hot dogs that taste terrible. If in NYC ask if there sabrett.
I did notice that the last time I was in NYC.
great video, I'm from New York and live in Florida. I love both dogs, but the dirty water Sabrett is the best.
The Bronx to Hauppauge to Coral Springs to Palm Coast and back to Coral Springs for me
@@FOGOcharcoal Queens to Brooklyn to Tampa to Watertown (Army) to Land O' Lakes. 😁
I do like the Chicago style dog better than the NY street dog or Jewish deli dog though. Anytime I go to Chicago, I have to get a dog. I also liked a dog or maybe it was a sausage that I got from a Toronto food cart and in Germany those wurst sandwich trucks are really good.
I wouldn't say no to any of them!
Great video!!!! My daughter also resembles me. The first Chicago dog I had was in a casing, which also makes a texture difference. I ordered a Chicago kit from Vienna Beef about a week ago. Can't wait for them to get here!!!
That is awesome! Yeah, the poor girl didn't stand a chance! LOL Those Vienna Beef kits are the best!
I love both styles but I am from close to Chicago so of course the Chicago dog is my favorite. This isn't to say that a dirty water dog off a cart in New York is second to any other dog, anywhere.
I'm the same James. We have family in Orland Park. Are you near there?
Chicago for me
Can't go wrong with that!
Chicago always
They are just so good
