Great deal, but the Cosco dog is decent at best. Wouldn’t hold a candle to Vienna, Hebrew National, Sahlens, or Nathan’s. The price of the Cosco dog combo hasn’t changed since the 80s.

It's 11:00 p.m. in Northeast Ohio and you guys have got me so hungry for hot dogs that's what I'm eating at this time of the night!! Cooking mine on cast iron though
Millers Hot Dogs - Stockton CA. Supplier to San Jose Sharks and Oakland A's games. They taste like it's made from beef. It doesn't have those bits of bone and whatever else they put in a hot dog. They aren't salty like most hot dogs. They will even mail them to you. I live in Vegas now and I get a shipment twice a year! I give them as Christmas presents as well, they are that good!
@imstelios , I was just about to post the same suggestion. I didn't eat hotdogs for a couple decades, simply because they were nasty tasting and spongy feeling. Until one day when a friend who knew I hated hotdogs told me I had to try a bite. From then on, Member's Mark hotdogs are the only ones I eat. They have the flavor and texture of a beef sausage, not mechanically & chemically separated scraps.
I think you should do more of a tournament style challenge and try less dogs each time for an accurate assessment. Maybe 4 at a time and winner goes on to next bracket with a grand champion named at the end. I think it’d be great content and very fun.
I can only get one of those so you could say.. I don't have a dog in the fight. Definitely suprised great value was 2nd. I'll have to send some reindeer dogs (its almost unfair though really)
I'll send some with the salmon, Tristten is on his way back from Keani with your fish now. Coincidentally we are grilling Hebrew Nationals for chili dogs and burgers as I type!
What's up bro You gotta check out Koggles from Flint Michigan We have restaurants up there called Coney islands And they make a dog with a meat sauce mustard and onions all Beef hot dogs with the skin very delicious
I have to concur with your choice of the Sabrett as the "Winner Weiner"! I have not tried as many Hot Dogs as you have but with the ones I have tried I came to the same conclusion that the Sabrett is definitely the superior dog. NOTE: I will also add that if you really want to up your Sabrett game that you should really seek out and try the Sabrett's that have the "Natural Skin Casing"! You want to talk about the Ultimate Hot Dog, well this is it! The casing adds that extra Pop and Snap that this beefy and tasty dog really deserves as opposed to the skinless variety. It can be tough to find the "Natural Casing" dogs but I think you'll be glad you did... check it out!
I'm from Chicago and I would definitely like to see some Chicago dogs somewhere in the countdown on the contest Vienna all beef definitely one of my all time favorites I put that up there with Nathan's can't find them here in Florida St Petersburg but some vendors and some Chicago style eateries have those Vienna all beef hot dogs so I rather get Nathan's until I can find a store that sells the Vienna all beef but I definitely find them at certain Chicago style restaurants here in St Petersburg Florida thank goodness for that definitely enjoyed your hot dog contest look forward to seeing more of the brands
As a retired aerospace process engineer, I can't help myself gravitate towards approaching tests scientifically by removing as much variables as possible that may influence end results. I undersand your video is meant for fun but i sense its important to you because you included this is your video. With all due respect, because I love your video, please accept some outside assistance. I'd like to offer some suggestions cooking time, method, presentation and of course tasting. I noticed some dogs were left on the grill a bit longer than the others. Try removing the product at the same time (in this case) the entire rack to even out cooking time. Method; grilling is just fine but try boiling, frying or at times when i'm in a hurry I pop one in the microwave (sorry to all). Presentation; perhaps you can section (or cut) them since dog length might be a giveaway as to which is which. Ah now tasting; I'd perfer to serve all at the same time (temperature) to a panel of seasoned (hungry) judges with instructions of what to concider. Participants should be fit for duty and able to distingush, texture, bite or snap, saltiness, smoke (if applicable), color, smell, and last but not least flavor. Also, lets include value due to our current ecomonic situation. Again, I love your video!😃
What about Falls Brand from Idaho. All beef and sold by Walmart here in Utah. Never saw any Great Value ones but will ask Walmart about them. What a great variety is available in your area. Since you two are so young, you'll never know how good hot dogs were in the 60's though. You can thank the health nuts for ruining the flavor of many of our junk foods.
I agree. Charbroiling them gives them an extra layer of flavor thus not getting the REAL flavor out of them. Best bet would have been just boiling, since that's how most of them are sold at their company stands.
My family loves hot dogs🌭🌭! This was a very entertaining taste test challenge! Thanks! You're funny!. Makes me hungry for hot dogs and its morning haha.
Need to try zweigle's hotdogs from Rochester NY. Both red and white hotdogs make sure you get the Pop open version. You will never eat another hotdogs agian. Except maybe a Glazier if you are a garlic flavor fan and don't mind your bun turning bright red.
I have never tasted a better hot dog than Ball Park Angus Hot Dogs. In my opinion, they're 10 times better than Great Value beef franks. If you do part 3 you should include Ball Park Angus Hot Dogs.
There is a Walmart near me and I always buy their hotdogs and for some reason I always think is great but then I think …. My pallet must be awful , but now you guys vindicated my pallet 😃
Love hot dog comparison contest video two , amazing Sabretts wins again 🌭 cool with two judges Mr Ninja 👍 Also interesting that video one and video two had Coney Island dogs in top three Nathan's video One and Feltmans video two::::: Amazing they both picked top three in same order!!!
Here's what I used to make for my kids cook hot dogs and roll them in a corn tortilla fry in pan with a little cooking oil keep them together with toothpicks I called them taco dogs and my kids loved them
Aldi's Deutsche Kuche Bavarian Wieners are quite good. Aldi always does a good job with cured/preserved meats. Their braunschweiger beats the hell out of Publix's and it's much cheaper. Same with half-sour pickles. And gabagool.
FELTMANS are MY favorite and I make my own hot sauce with minced onions brown mustard ketchup chili powder little bottled water taco seasoning mixed in pot over stove stirred and its the best!!
You mentioned that one of the dogs that you tasted was too soft inside, too mushy. Hormel "Wrangler" hot dogs are coarse ground and have more bite. Don't know if they are all beef or not. But they are among the tastiest that I have tried. I haven't done the whole circuit as you have, but I liked them, so far. Good video. Thank you.
Back in the 70's I had a Sabbrett hotdog guy in my town named Ernie (Ernie's Cart) that I got to know real well. He told my mother and me that we could come to his house and buy the exact pushcart Sabbrett dogs that he sells out of his cart. We went and bought about 5lbs of them wrapped in butcher paper (all linked together with string.) Nothing like that snap you get with every bite of those natural casing dogs.
There are a lot of things than add/detract from the flavor of the dog. 1./ heat source...Luv the fact that you use; "Lump Charcoal" !!! (6 stars out of 5 for that). 2./ The Green Egg. They may be expensive in their up-front cost but worth it in the fact that they can last for decades!
I've been looking for Ninja... since he stopped being on Sous Vide Everything. I'll definitely try Sabretts, based on your last 2 videos. My favorite is "German Brand"... but, I don't know that you will even test that in the next year. Thanks for this!
What origin does the word hot dog come from? The term “hot dog” was coined in 1901 in New York City at the Polo Grounds, home field at various times for both the New York Yankees and the Giants. On a chilly April day, concessionaire Harry Stevens (the company he founded is still in business) was losing money trying to sell ice cream and cold soda.
You guy ever been to Chicago? We who live here in Chicago use one of two Hot Dogs, Vienna Beef or Red hot Chicago. That stuff from New York is for the birds. Chicagoland area has more Hot Dog stands then most places in the U.S.. You need to do it right and use a Chicago Hot Dog.
I've been eating from street vendors in Manhattan for years and always tried telling friends that Sabretts was perhaps the best dog, but there is too much Nathan's and Hebrew National and Boar's Head hype to counter the perception of Sabretts as a lower class of dog due to being the choice of street vendors. The only dog I've found to challenge Sabretts is Hummels (a New Haven product; you can find them in NY), so I hope you can find a way to get Hummels in your next test, especially the natural casing one. And why can't you find a way to get some Kirkland dogs? My top four (and I've tried virtually all of them over the years except the really obscure ones) are #1 (tie) Sabretts and Hummels, #3 (tie) Kirkland and Hebrew National. Now you've got me planning a blind test with my family next big party, and won't be satisfied until I prove it. The Walmart discovery was shocking. Gotta go try one soon.
A dirty water dog on the streets of Manhattan may just have been my first exposure to Sabrett. I have had Hummels and you are right, they are very good. Lastly, I'm with you, the Walmart dogs was absolutely shocking to me. I'm still in shock!!!
My favorite vendor (in a roadside truck ) always used Boars Head, so that's my #1. I too am from NY originally (Westchester County) so Sabretts are everywhere as well. Some dogs are better off of a grill, some are better as dirty water dogs. I don't think Nathans would lend themselves well to a steam bath, likewise Hebrew Nationals. Btw. If you can cook with steam (preferrably under pressure) you wont drown your dog, and wash away all the good flavors from them. I use a vegetable steamer and keep the dogs just above the water.
These videos are great, but I think they are flawed. You should have someone do the cooking, and a separate person randomly serve them, and then eat them blindfolded. Also, the eaters need to have a ballot where they score different qualities. Discussion should only occur after both have completed their ballots, so no one can be perspuaded by the others.
This actually is very important research to me and many other people who are in search of the top dog! Great video, I do appreciate Costco dogs and dodger dogs immensely, just not the massive price difference.
Just watched the first review and although I didn’t try all of them that you had, Nathan’s all beef hot dogs are definitely our top. We never tried Sabrettes. We do like Hebrew National also but it is saltier I think.
@@FOGOcharcoal Di, What are the letters of the top three hot dogs? I can't associate your favorites with your comments during the tasting. Also, I would have guessed, from your comments during tasting that "E" was your favorite. But, it looks like it didn't make the top three. Is that right?
Sabretts is #1. Has anyone watched the movie "Sleepers" (1996) ? At the conclusion of the movie Brad Pitt (losing assistant D.A & lost on purpose) leaves the courthouse. He stops outside and orders a hot dog from a street vendor. It was a Sabretts Hot Dog. First time I ever heard of them. I tried one and to this day they are my favorite dog followed by Hebrew National & Nathans. By the way, it was a great movie. Kevin Bacon and the other juvenile prison guards got theirs in the end. They all met the grim reaper.
Don't knock on the Walmart foods or Great Value too much until you have tried a good handful or two of their food products. We were extremally concerned with any Walmart food stuff when they starter their Super Walmart stores that sold food and produce years back. Well, going in slowly as possible, we started in on some of their products and were impressed EVERY time. We had been used to the ago old name brands such as Best Foods, Hellman's, French's, Heinz, S&W, Green Giant etc. etc. then discovered it was like shopping at Sam's Club...very comparable beef, fish, dairy and other foods just like Costco. We have to say, even today, with all the reservations we had with using Walmart food products before, do not miss out on them. You will be impressed that their items are equal to or better than the big name brands and who knows, some of those items could be made by the big brands for Walmart. And to go with that, some to most of their products are up to half the price less than a well known brand name.
Wal Mart doesn’t own a hot dog company or a factory that makes most of their Great Value products, most come right out of the same plants that make the name brand stuff.
@@samwasthebest6633 Exactly right and folks tend to believe Great Value is from some backyard barn or farm when the facts are fairly clear, anyone lucky enough to get a contract to supply Walmart with products has to be on top of their game. Getting in with Walmart is a gold mine if you can maintain the deal.
Just watched part 1 and it was nice to see a part 2. Like I said in part 1 Sabrett's is the best! There's no Walmart here in the Bronx NY where I live so I can't compare their brand to any other. Another great review.
National' brands like Nathan's and Sabrett's are good dogs....Vienna Beef dogs good also...here in the Northeast local dogs like Kunzler's and Best's are a tough act to follow as are Shofar's and Hebrew National.
@@FOGOcharcoal OR! You could do videos of regional hot dogs. I'm not sure how many fully-national brands there are. But there are many regional ones. Just a thought.
Please do a taste test of the best of bargain brands. A Walmart vs Costco vs local bargain brands. I will have to try Sabretts and maybe the Feltmans. 💃🙏💜🤣
I am not a beef dog guy nor am I a Nathans salt laden fat dogs. I like pork and veal. Leans me toward Hoffman's snappies or for a milder taste Kayem. I make my own Bratwurst so I lean toward PORK in the dogs. Back in our childhood it was Essems and Schonlands.
I was hoping you was going to continue this series of the hotdog tasting but you never did..... 😢 so out of 13 hotdog brands sabretts is the best..... please dont let it end with a promise of a continuation.
ok hello there .time to try Farmer John all beef hot dog. Hoffy hollywood brand hot dogs. Costco hot dogs. members mark hot dog. Johnsonville hot dogs.
Two missed opportunities on your play-on-word finesse; "Quite (frank)ly..." "And the winner( weiner)is..." Let me know if you need a script writer. Lol.
There's a brand in Lancaster PA which is really popular- Kunzler's. I work at a local grocery meat room and it's our best seller (Sabrett is actually one of our worst sellers here)

I will!
Great job guys. I've been serving sabretts for many years with great compliments. Also zwiegles , Rochester NY .and Hoffman hot dogs, Syracuse NY

Some dogs are better off of a grill, some are better as dirty water dogs. I don't think Nathans would lend themselves well to a steam bath, likewise Hebrew Nationals. Btw. If you can cook with steam (preferrably under pressure) you wont drown your dog, and wash away all the good flavors from them. I use a vegetable steamer and keep the dogs just above the water.
Hot Dogs should be Boiled or boiled then finished on the grill….not just grilled only……
Have you tried Costco brand beef hotdogs?
I wish you would go all the way in ranking all 7 brands so we can gauge them if the others aren't available in our areas
We didn't want to seem like we are talking bad about any brands seeing as this is just a personal taste test
These videos are great, but I think they are flawed. You should have someone do the cooking, and a separate person randomly serve them, and then eat them blindfolded. Also, the eaters need to have a ballot where they score different qualities. Discussion should only occur after both have completed their ballots, so no one can be perspuaded by the others.
This actually is very important research to me and many other people who are in search of the top dog! Great video, I do appreciate Costco dogs and dodger dogs immensely, just not the massive price difference.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You forgot the world l d famous Vienna hot dogs from. C hicago ill amen
Oh, I think you will really like our new video... th-cam.com/video/eJcvfCzkJRc/w-d-xo.html
Just watched the first review and although I didn’t try all of them that you had, Nathan’s all beef hot dogs are definitely our top. We never tried Sabrettes. We do like Hebrew National also but it is saltier I think.
Those are all real good choices.
@@FOGOcharcoal Di,
What are the letters of the top three hot dogs? I can't associate your favorites with your comments during the tasting.
Also, I would have guessed, from your comments during tasting that "E" was your favorite. But, it looks like it didn't make the top three. Is that right?
Sabrett's is #1!!!!!🎉🎉🎉 Best dog I've ever had, wish I could get them here in Pittsburgh!!!!
Oh so good
They don't sell the Sabrett anywhere that I've ever lived. Walmart it is.
Was looking for Sabrett at the store today but could not find. They had a lot of different brands, too. Will keep looking....
Publix and food lion have them plenty but wal mart 😫
Throw sams and Costco hot dogs against Sabretts. Sam's wins every time.
I always thought the cheapest greasiest dog was the best one that is so fatty it has the texture of a Vienna sausage!
this is not a fare tasting you dont have nathans boarshead hebrew national
This was our part 2 video, see the first hot dog taste test video that we made.
Sabretts is #1. Has anyone watched the movie "Sleepers" (1996) ? At the conclusion of the movie Brad Pitt (losing assistant D.A & lost on purpose) leaves the courthouse. He stops outside and orders a hot dog from a street vendor. It was a Sabretts Hot Dog. First time I ever heard of them. I tried one and to this day they are my favorite dog followed by Hebrew National & Nathans.
By the way, it was a great movie. Kevin Bacon and the other juvenile prison guards got theirs in the end. They all met the grim reaper.
Yes! They are just so darn good!
here's my pick for the worst hot dog; "Bar S".
I am seeing a theme developing here....
Don't knock on the Walmart foods or Great Value too much until you have tried a good handful or two of their food products. We were extremally concerned with any Walmart food stuff when they starter their Super Walmart stores that sold food and produce years back. Well, going in slowly as possible, we started in on some of their products and were impressed EVERY time. We had been used to the ago old name brands such as Best Foods, Hellman's, French's, Heinz, S&W, Green Giant etc. etc. then discovered it was like shopping at Sam's Club...very comparable beef, fish, dairy and other foods just like Costco. We have to say, even today, with all the reservations we had with using Walmart food products before, do not miss out on them. You will be impressed that their items are equal to or better than the big name brands and who knows, some of those items could be made by the big brands for Walmart. And to go with that, some to most of their products are up to half the price less than a well known brand name.
Wal Mart doesn’t own a hot dog company or a factory that makes most of their Great Value products, most come right out of the same plants that make the name brand stuff.
@@samwasthebest6633 Exactly right and folks tend to believe Great Value is from some backyard barn or farm when the facts are fairly clear, anyone lucky enough to get a contract to supply Walmart with products has to be on top of their game. Getting in with Walmart is a gold mine if you can maintain the deal.
Hey, I thought they were great
Kirkland Signature Beef Dinner Frank from CostCo is my GOAT.... 👍😎👍
It would have been great if you added text on the screen afterwards so we knew which brand you were describing
Try Sam's Club Members Mark 1/4 lb all beef hotdogs
Just watched part 1 and it was nice to see a part 2. Like I said in part 1 Sabrett's is the best! There's no Walmart here in the Bronx NY where I live so I can't compare their brand to any other. Another great review.
Those Sabretts are just so good
How about Dietz & Watson . There delicious. Since 1939.
Yes! I've had them. I'll have to go back and look but I think we used them in our other hot dog taste test video.
No you didn’t
The results are very surprising. Great show guys!!
Yes, we couldn't agree more! When are you coming to shoot some more videos with us?
Boars Head Hot Dogs are great! classic snap. you should try em
Hey Sal, born and raised in the Bronx and Long Island, trust me, I have enjoyed many tasty Boars Head hot dogs.
Love your Hot Dog challenges, I will be doing the same in Pittsboro NC!
Thats awesome Dan, let me know how it turns out!
Excellent test, being the both of you agreed on the same brands says alot. I will be trying these, Thanks.
Our pleasure!
National' brands like Nathan's and Sabrett's are good dogs....Vienna Beef dogs good also...here in the Northeast local dogs like Kunzler's and Best's are a tough act to follow as are Shofar's and Hebrew National.
See. I think you should do a cheap best hotdog...
We need gwaltney, ballpark, swaggerty's, Smithfield, against great value
Koeghel Vienna is the best ever but not all beef
so delicious though
Ruling out the length variable was smart.
I really liked part 1 in fact your top 3 in last video I'm not sure if I've had. Great job on your videos .
Thanks so much, that means a lot
Cool Videos, but you should compare national brands. Not regional brands.
Noted, thanks Mark!
@@FOGOcharcoal OR! You could do videos of regional hot dogs. I'm not sure how many fully-national brands there are. But there are many regional ones. Just a thought.
Come on we need to put up all the runner ups of the first 3 for a bigger group of testers with condiments!
Oh, I think I like that idea
Please do a taste test of the best of bargain brands. A Walmart vs Costco vs local bargain brands.
I will have to try Sabretts and maybe the Feltmans.
💃🙏💜🤣
Whoever makes the Costco Hot Dog is the best one to me….$1.59 and comes with a refillable drink….the BEST deal in the USA.
Thank you I would have never tried Walmart brand . I’m gonna check where they sell sabretts
I am not a beef dog guy nor am I a Nathans salt laden fat dogs. I like pork and veal. Leans me toward Hoffman's snappies or for a milder taste Kayem. I make my own Bratwurst so I lean toward PORK in the dogs. Back in our childhood it was Essems and Schonlands.
I'll bet those brats are tasty
again more brands never heard of
A cheap hot dog is so much better when you can't afford these ones 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was hoping you was going to continue this series of the hotdog tasting but you never did..... 😢 so out of 13 hotdog brands sabretts is the best..... please dont let it end with a promise of a continuation.
LOL, there are just so many!
Nathan's??
Well done. Personally, I can't eat a hot dog without mustard. Keep the ketchup that ain't normal.
Try Costco in the next round. Great contests.
ok hello there .time to try
Farmer John all beef hot dog.
Hoffy hollywood brand hot dogs.
Costco hot dogs.
members mark hot dog.
Johnsonville hot dogs.
Thanks so much for the info!
Two missed opportunities on your play-on-word finesse;
"Quite (frank)ly..."
"And the winner( weiner)is..."
Let me know if you need a script writer. Lol.
We are now best friends....
There's a brand in Lancaster PA which is really popular- Kunzler's. I work at a local grocery meat room and it's our best seller (Sabrett is actually one of our worst sellers here)
Nice, I will have to look for those
