So lately I've been eating some hella hebrew nationals with cheese melted on them, any they're pretty good; but I've been yearning for a real dog.
So how do I make a super tasty hotdog? What toppings should I put on, in what order, and how much?

No condiments. Putting condiments on a hot dog like that would be like dumping ketchup on a steak. The hot dog will be crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, the onions will add a touch of sweetness and a lovely slippery texture in the mouth, and the poppy seed bun will provide just the right amount of dryness and starch to cut the grease.
What do you guys have to say about condiment laden dogs, though? Like, relish, mustard, onions, and chili covered meatcylinders?
Pan seared hotdog
Pretzel-dough bun
Deli-shredded pastrami
Swiss cheese
pickle slice
I ate like 3 of these things in one sitting because fuck so tasty.
grilled hot dog in a bun with cream cheese. It's a Seattle thing, but you should try it at least once.
You disgust me.
...I'll be trying it this weekend, probably.
I personally prefer caramelized onions with sausage, and I prefer kraut to onions anyway. For a hot dog, nothing beats a streak of ketchup, a streak of yellow (Not spicy. Spicy is for sausage) mustard, a teaspoon of relish, all on a white bread bun.
So true man. Whenever I go to 6th street in Austin, I always end up scarfing like a hotdog and a sausage from one of the street carts, and I swear to you nothing beats them.
even when you're not drunk.
but it is the best condiment.
Or if you're adventurous, cut a X shape into each of the ends while leaving enough of a center to poke a stick through the middle, then cook it over an open fire for an authentic spider dog.
Fancy Swedish Hotdog
1 or 2 Hotdogs
1 Bun
Mustard (optional)
Mashed potatoes
Ketchup
Shrimp Salad
Put grilled hotdog(s) in bun, add mustard. Use ice cream scoop to shape the mashed potatoes (better make that firm mashed potatoes) and place them in a row ontop of the hotdog (2 or 3 lumps). Add ketchup and then top it off with a layer of shrimp salad. I belive you can make basic shrimp salad by mashing cocktail shrimp together with mayo.
Add you own innuedos. I'm all out.
Mustard
Skyline chili
onions
Slammin.
Also who ever said you should not use any condiments has never been more wrong than the when wrong was first invented.

I want to do this right. Any other condiments other then the cream cheese? Or just straight cream cheese, bun, dog?
In other recipes, though, condiments are perfectly acceptable. Another favourite of mine, when I don't feel like taking the time to really cook, is spreading a thin layer of sweet Russian-style mustard on a white tortilla, adding two slices of cheddar cheese (real cheese, not Kraft Singles processed shit!), laying a hot dog on top, and nuking the whole thing for about 45 seconds. Then I roll it up into a hot dog burrito, and it is gooey and greasy and sweet with just a bit of bite and good.
I had these at an office barbecue this summer and they were delicious.
barbeque sauce, my own if I have some, otherwise KC Masterpiece or something similar
soy sauce
Worchestershire sauce
liquid smoke, linked because no one else seems to know what it is
pepper
garlic powder
onion powder
all purpose seasoning I get from our local locker, any sugar based seasoning will probably work
I just proportion it out until I get the consistency I need, then glaze it on. Heavily. I then put a slice of bacon in with it on the bun and cheese of my choice. I do the same with beer brats.
However, I can't wait to get home and try making bacon-wrapped dogs. Those sound heavenly.

Toppings:
Stone ground mustard: not Kraft yellow mustard
Ketchup: I like a little bit to help hold all the other toppings together.
Sauerkraut: in a pinch coleslaw can provide a decent alternative.
Raw onions: finely chopped.
Hotdogs are good in beer too. Make sure you pierce the casing with a fork or something a few times so the beer can really get into the meat.
Everyone knows that they are the lesser sausage though.
I'm also going to throw this out there as a delicious complementary condiment to a pan-fried hot dog (minus the onions): Peanut Butter.
Agreed, beer still makes them better though.
Fixed that for you.
Hoo. That was a close one.

While all beef hot dogs are fantastic, there are also some pretty awesome gourmet hot dogs around. If you're ever in Chicago...

When I first went it was an hour wait, I was with good company though, and it was so very very worth it. However, I have no idea how one might cook these hot dogs.
bun -> hot dog (grilled is best in my opinion) -> favorite chili (less chunky the easier it is to eat) -> cheese
It's really the only way I eat hot dogs anymore.
this is the only acceptable way to eat a hot dog, period
Skyline chili is pretty much just chili from a can + cinnamon. For anyone who doesn't have one around.
What is it with Chicago and taking great food and ruining it? The soupy casserole you call "pizza" for instance...
It's still good though. :P
This thread will not steer the OP wrong.
Except for Ketchup.
God judges those who apply ketchup to a hot dog.
I am not a hot dog snob by any means.
My mom called me the other day and was like, "what are you doing" and I'm like "steaming some hotdogs" and she was like "ooooooo-kaaaaay"
but anyway....best hotdog is grilled beef hotdog, with a slice of cheese melted on to it late in the grilling, then placed in a bun with spicy mustard of some sort and dill relish and sourkraut. That's right, sourkraut and cheese. Finally, apply a soupcon of tiger sauce. No actual tigers are harmed in the making of tiger sauce.
This creates a sort of sweet and sour dog that is pretty damn likeable.
I host a podcast about movies.
I'm going to have to try that too. Where do you get Tiger Sauce?
(Excellent usage of soupcon BTW)
One big, all-beef gourmet hotdog
Wrap in bacon
Fry
Place in sourdough bun
Sprinkle thickly shredded jack cheese on top (lots of it)
I don't think you could go wrong with some stone mustard in there, but it wouldn't be necessary.
I paid $10 for that hotdog and I'd gladly pay $15.
Let me also throw out the MacaTacaHodo 360 (invented by Jeffrey Rowland):
It's a hotdog in a hard taco shell with macaroni and cheese stuffed on top. I have not tried one.
But I would.
