Spiral Mustard Dogs & New Brand Review

[thirdeye]

I recently picked up a pack of Marketside Angus Franks at Walmart, and so far... I'm really liking the flavor and the fact they come 8 to a pack, which matches buns that are 8 to a pack.

My standard drill is to spiralize dogs and for this test run I went with a basic mustard dog. When grilled or skillet fried... they are moist, have a nice flavor and texture, a noticeable snap, and they are bun length.

I've seen them up here. But haven't tried them. Thanks for the review.

Looks bigger than a number 8 in the picture . I do like the spiral cut on the dogs , been scoring them myself . I could eat a couple of those for sure .
I tend to pass on the " uncured " hype ( because of the hype ) , but at least they have the " except for " on the label . I'd buy 'em .

Look tasty! Now I'd bury them in chili and onions!

Tasty looking dogs. I've never done the spiral thing to them

For those of y'all who like your dogs big, they also have a 4/lb version instead of the 8/lb package thirdeye is showing.

Haven't seen those. I like 1/4 lb dogs.

I’ll need to look them up. We prefer the 4/lb ourselves.

We usually buy Millers. Not sure they are available outside of the SF Bay Area.

They recently reduced the weight of their dogs to 4/32oz. Ridiculous what some producers do to keep the pricing the same.

We also have not spiralized our dogs. May need to try it.

The lowly hot dog is such a forgotten treat. Looks great.
Never tried the spiral cut. I usually wrap mine in bagel dough.
My favorite dog is the 1/4# Costco dinner frank. I like the flavor and size, but not the salt. I eat maybe 1 a year.

They omitted the important part of the uncured label. Celery juice is cultured to convert the nitrates to nitrites before dehydrating to powder.
