The Fuddrucker's big hot dog is disgusting. It's cheap for a reason. After watching Food Network and the Travel Channel, the two hot dog places I want to try is Pukadog (?) in Hawaii and some joint in NY that's like Smoothie King and sells hot dogs. In Miami, I used to eat Colombian hot dogs at a place called Los Perros...smashed Lays Potato chips, ketchup, mayo, pineapple sauce, and cheese...it sounds disgusting but damn it's good.
Been in NC for over 30 years. I still prefer beef BBQ and chili on my hot dogs... Spacemoth/ToyCen... where in NC are you guys? Ever been to Smokey Bones? It's a good alternative to the Lexington style BBQ you get around the Piedmont Triad where I am.
You ever put a layer of potato chips on a ham sandwich? I grew up doing that, partly from boredom with endless ham sandwiches in my lunch at grade school, but I ended up liking them a lot. Gotta have mustard instead of mayo, though. The funny thing is that I still like them that way if I'm making a ham sandwich at home. Even have my daughter doing it.
Throw a little deli mustard, some relish and onions on that sucker... maybe a touch of ketchup... Can't beat it for the price! Hebrew National dogs too...
I grew up around Rocky Mount/Tarboro area. In a few months I'll be moving from Houston to Williamsburg, VA.
