We Tried 18 Regional Hot Dogs. Here’s The Best One.

A hot dog is not just a hot dog. Depending on where you go in the United States, what constitutes a typical hot dog can vary pretty wildly. The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council recognizes at least 18 different regional hot dog varieties in the U.S., and there are probably plenty more. So which ones are the best? We’ve saved you the gas it’d take to drive across the country (and fly to Alaska), and ranked 18 different varieties of dog from worst to best. Some will surely surprise you. That’s right: We tried 18 regional hot dogs. Here’s the best one. But we’ve got to get through the worst ones first. #HotDogs #Restaurants #UnitedStates 18. Philadelphia dog | 0:14 17.
