I like hot dogs more than I like to admit, tbh. I love the smell of them at baseball games. If there is a good coney to be had, I want it. Actually had one for lunch this weekend in Denton, TX, at a place called Dix. I got to make a funny joke about having Dix in my mouth! I hit up National when I went to Detroit and the waitress was impressed I didn't want a knife and fork. There's a local place that has been here forever called James Coney Island, but they're down to like three locations. I order one from Sonic anytime I get the e-mail they're $1.99 through the app. I don't care if they're all lips and assholes, or what you want to put on them, hot dogs are badass.
If you missed the Lunch thread and mister d's brilliant idea to start this thread, we are headed to Post Houston, a food court/office building/concert hall venue in what used to be Barbara Jordan Post Office to see their Xmas light display, and I'm finally trying YoYo's Hot Dogs. It's been a staple in Houston, but only open late at night by the bar spots close to Rice until they opened this one.

Can we speak on all types of tubed meat here, or just hot dogs? Wanna make sure I'm following the rules.
Had a fantastic bratwurst at the Lambeau tailgate last weekend, but my buddy warned me off the in stadium brats and pointed me in the direction of the foot longs. Nothing set it apart from any other hot dog I've ever had, so it was merely a 10/10. Went mustard only, but I like to add diced onions.
Also, will there be t-shirts for this club? Regular meetings?
Until everything is less insane, I'm mixing weed with wine.
Post Houston looks incredible, and the food choices!!!! I'd love to hit up Rollin' Phatties (Pakistani paratha rolls), Elotex Cup (crazy looking elote dishes), the Nigerian place... hell, all of it looks great!

Yeah honestly am considering pivoting to something else now that I’m reading about YoYos expanding. Or maybe I just need to go get drunk with a bunch of nerds one night.

Anything you put in a hot dog bun.
My first brat was at a tailgate at Lambeau in 1995. Also my first Miller High Life (and first beer in public that my Dad told me I could have).

Hot dogs are an absolute comfort food for me. Just had some a few days ago from a small place. So good.
Shit. Jersey prides itself on hot dogs, could have taken you some places.
Rutt's Hut? When I worked in Clifton, my secretary talked this place up as the greatest thing ever. Little shack serving hotdogs and burgers, I'd guess they last updated the place in the early 50s. Take a cheap grocery store hot dog, boil it in a deep fryer, stick it in a cheap bun and add off-brand ketchup. Amazing! I guess it requires the nostalgia of going as a little kid or something. Burgers were a half step up from White Castle. Can't remember the last time I ate a hot dog, but if I had an option for something like Giff posted, I'd be all-in.
Despite spending a lot of time in Coney Island as a kid (paternal Grandmother lived close and my maternal Grandfather owned a bodega there when my mother was a kid), I'd never heard of a Coney Island hot dog before the Swamp. I feel like Brian mentioned them years ago and I had to look it up. Still not sure if it is different than a chili dog.

I may have mentioned this before, but when the Talking Heads went to RISDY, they worked at the New York System in PVD like 8 minutes down the road from me. In the Once in a Lifetime video when Byrne is doing that thing where he karate chops his left arm with his right hand, he's pretending to slap the meat sauce on the weiners.

I’m glad Syb said it first … all the famous NJ hot dog places I’ve been to are mediocre and if served as is out of a new looking storefront, they wouldn’t last a year.

At the Bolts game last night, I lamented the shit food options at Amalie this year. We used to have a Portillo's on the third level with excellent Chicago dogs and beef sandwiches. The only stand alone Portillo's around here are at least 30 minutes away, which never seems close enough to travel for fast food.

Some of you NJ guys have never had a Jimmy Buff's Italian combo (preferably the West Orange location) while drunk enough to truly appreciate it and young enough to not worry about what you're eating.

Ha, I was going to reply to D that I never went to the Jimmy Buffs on 22 before it closed. Everyone in town was freaking out when they announced they were closing and told me I need to try an Italian Dog. Meh. That location has been cursed, so many places open and close there. Great BBQ place, but the owners had a fight and split up. Great Sri Lankan place, but apparently I’m the only white guy eating Sri Lankan food. Owners daughter was always working there and gorgeous. Now there is a dispensary set to open, right down the road from my favorite dispensary.

Headed to the brewery tonight and hoping there's a food truck with some sort of hot dog there. I was all ready to be sucking on a chili dog outside the tastee freeze last night and now I'm really craving one!
