Hot Dogs: Side by side comparison

[bill ace 350]

Grilled some Hoffmans and some Glaziers for the 4th of July.

Both on a roll with hot mustard, dill relish and horseradish.

The Glaziers took first place, with 100%(2/2) voters choosing them over the Hoffmans!

I really do like the Glaziers.

Hot Mustard, relish and Horseradish, Yum!!!! Never heard of those brands but they both look dog gone great.

Nice............I don't think either one is available on the west coast. The Hoffman's look like a white sausage. Are they along the style of a banger?

They are "Hofmann's German Style Frankfurters in natural casing".

its a shame, the closet thing we can get in S Florida is Ball park Grill masters. Still better than regular grocery store brand etc.

Those look awesome! I'd love to try both

I'll take your judging crew word on this.
Back in my hotdog eating days I tried a lot of regional labels.
Never been far enough east to try the old labels.
My favorite settled on the Costco dinner frank as I lived on the west coast for many years.

They're both good. Though, I'm a Zweigle's fan. Hebrew national jumbo. Glaziers makes really good pickled sausages too.

I have a jar of their pickled sausage in the fridge. Their pickled eggs are delicious as well. Haven't had a Zweigles since I lived in Batavia NY.

I repeated the side by side this evening...

Just dogs, kraut and mustard on a toasted bun...

According to participants, Glazier beat Hoffmann again.....

I would eat them for sure

We like the 1/4 lb dogs from Sam's. They are huge and all beef and taste for like a brat

 

[okie sawbones]

The best thing I can get in my area is Hebrew National. I've heard the Costco beef hot dogs are good.

 

[normanaj]

For me I like the locally made Saugy.

I just googled Saugy after seeing this. Would love to try, but will have to look for a place that sells them around here.

I’m supposed to stay away from processed meats, but every so often a chili dog just sounds so good.
We seem to always have Nathan’s, but for as few as I eat not sure what is better that’s available here (E. NC … Harris Teeter, Publix, Food Lion). If nothing great there, and if they were available to ship in, what would be your recommendations?

You might look for Hofmanns. They went national a few years ago. I'm pretty sure you can get Glaziers shipped. Edit: They do ship. Here is the link -

Thanks! I did go to their online store, but shipping is kinda prohibitive in small quantities. Guess I will search my stores more closely.

Not sure exactly where you're at , but I'm thinking you have to have some local options .
Quick search of Publix in Fayetteville shows
Hoffman
Sahlens
Sabbrett
3 That I've heard of , and have had the Sahlens . Chef JJ used to talk those up .
They had others that looked interesting too .
Check your Publix , or search the brand with your zip code .

Edit , Sometimes the brands will pay up to have their own displays or sections . So they might not always be in with the other brands . Make sure to check the Deli section also .
