In reply to the discussion: How do they make Hot Dogs where you live? [View all]Kali

Get a beef hot dog and wrap it like a mummy with bacon. Mesquite bacon is good.
Fry it on a griddle until the bacon gets crisp. Some people like to fry the bacon a little first and then wrap it around the hot dog and then fry them both in the bacon grease.
Take a hot dog bun or bolillo roll that has been slit to make a pocket in the middle. If you want you can toast them a little or, in the case of the bolillo roll, steam it for a minute to make it soft. Work with what you have on hand or what you feel like.
Put mayo, mustard and ketchup on the bun and insert the bacon-wrapped dog. If you want to squirt the mayo on top, like they do at the stands, mix it with a little lemon juice or water to thin it out. Put it into a squeeze bottle or sandwich bag with a corner cut off and squeeze it on top when you are done, along with the mustard and ketchup.
Add warm pinto beans, cheese (shredded Mexican cotijo cheese, cheddar, whatever), chopped tomatoes, chopped onions, sliced or blended jalapenos or some type of jalapeno/green chili salsa.
Just stick whatever you want on there, and whatever amount, to make it taste good. (You hear this talking to many Mexican cooks)

The OG foodies of Northern California would not be caught dead eating a hot dog.

Organic artisinal sausages? Yes. They'd eat the hell out of that. But a hot dog? Hell no.

Regional preferences are why there are no powerhouse national hot dog chains

Texas can't do hot dogs. The only great hot dog is a Detroit Coney Dog.
