On the really good side, I'd have to go with Nathan's hands down. But ya' know, hot dogs are such basically schlock food to begin with, not to mention their allowable 2% content of floor sweepings, hair, and rat excrement, that the "good" concept for me somehow translates into BAD. I can buy some Ball Parks, great buns, coney sauce, kraut, slaw, relish......the works right?....and somehow I keep going back to those things that they sell at Ohio State football games. The indeterminate frank is possibly cooked and then thrown into an oversize bun, wrapped in a wax paper type stuff (you know the stuff...you try to wipe off the mustard with it and end up being covered in mustard flavored Coppertone Quick Tan). This "thing" is then stacked in a steam drawer until needed for sale. I think they make all of these up at the beginning of the season and keep them hot and soggy right through the Michigan game.

You buy one or two and walk over to the condiment table (what a mess those are....a whole other thread) where you try to separate the paper, bun, and frank, so you can apply some of that pale tan mustard of undetermined parentage. NOW THAT'S A DOG!!!!
