Garbage tier hot dogs are perfect for making pic related.

It's just overkill for overkill's sake.

Torn. I still love the natural casing dogs with sauerkraut and mustard I grew up with. But I like the Chicago excess too, except for the stupid neon green relish. Also been to Denmark, and LOVE the dogs there. And have recently developed a weakness for Latino dogs, including the Mexican hot dog torta. So I can't shit on hot dogs in general.

Is that a Coney Dog from the Midwest? I get that as a guilty pleasure. Same with pic related. A lot of the more trashy foods I grew up with I don't eat anymore, and I don't miss one bit. But hot dogs in myriad forms still attract me. Don't know why. Wasn't the biggest fan of them growing up, but they're the one trashy food I still pine for and have to indulge in every now and then.

My current guilty pleasure is pic related. Even better if you have them throw a milanesa on there as well.

Hot dog preferences and styles vary wildly by region. No single example could be considered world class. Though I'd put the hot dogs in Denmark up against any. But if you're clever you can take the shittiest hot dogs available and make something delicious out them. Pic related.

I like hot dogs just fine.

On a NYC style dog (natural casing, all beef flavored with garlic and paprika) I like sauerkraut and mustard.

On a mystery meat dog I like chili and raw onion, maybe with a little mustard and celery salt.

The super cheap skinless hot dogs are best transformed into pic related.

Everyone has their trashy Kryptonite. Mine is pic related. But it's also a matter of expectations. If you grew up in a place where Papa John's was good pizza Topper's shit might taste like an orgasm in your mouth. You can only base your judgements on what you know.

>Honestly, that menu is beyond ridiculous.
idk, man. If you're going to get silly with a theme menu hot dogs are a good choice, because so many weird regional variations already exist. If you make up a few of your own no one will really notice, and they could actually be good. I can get pic related near me, and I have to admit it's good in spite of being trashy as fuck.

Best hot dog coming through.

You say nonsense I say context. When you understand the history the traditions start to make sense. If you go buy Oscar Meyer level hot dogs from the grocery store ketchup works fine on them. I'd argue chili and raw onion works even better. But these aren't the kind of hot dogs traditionally served in Chicago and NYC. If you're eating a natural casing all beef hot dog flavored with garlic and paprika mustard is a better match. Different styles of hot dogs inspire different treatment. The hot dogs sold by street vendors in Copenhagen bear little resemblance to those used to build crazy Latin American creations. But both make sense. Different cultures have different starting points. Danish hot dogs are smoked pork, and they're topped with the kinds of things a northern culture would eat along with smoked pork. They're treated respectfully because they're actually quality products. Latino hot dogs (salchichas) are mechanically separated meat, often chicken - not a sausage worthy of any particular respect - so they go nuts with shit like wrapping them in bacon and piling on all kinds of crazy toppings. Both are delicious, but they're totally different experiences and totally different sausages.

I'm all about eating what you like, but if you don't know about various traditions you're gonna miss out on some cool shit they've come up with. Even when it comes to something as pedestrian as fucking hot dogs. Pic related.

>pulled pork and pb&j are fucking classics
They are classics, but they lean sweet, and to me sugar ruins sandwiches. Come to think of it I's ditch the Monte Christo for the same reason. Replace it with pic related.

I'm happy Latin Americans still love them.

Slice lengthwise, grill on plancha and put into torta sandwich.
