  • replying to u/hotdogaholic: Probably cheaper, or moving to a straight beef blend? Don't listen to the haters; they don't know what they're talking about. Sabrett makes a quality, consistent dog. They have MANY different types.....probably make like 40 different types, so without trying them all, you can't say that they suck.

    To me the NY hot dog is Sabrett. Sure Nathan's exists but it's always been more expensive and more for specialty locations. Of course I've had better hotdogs than a Sabrett but they are themselves different.

  • The best you'll see at a cart or chain is maybe natural casing from Sabrett or Feltman or Boars Head etc

  • replying to u/DeanFilmNYC: Oh it’s not even close. Chicago by a mile. I live smack in the middle of Manhattan and if you asked me where to get the definitive NYC hotdog, I have no idea where even to tell you to go. Gray’s Papaya on 72nd? Chicago owns the hot dog.

    get a Nathan's or a Sabrett's hot dog, put some sauerkraut and red onion sauce over it, and you're having a great time.

  • replying to u/Weekly-Original-2322: Personally, I prefer Nathan’s or Hebrew National.

    I am partial to Sabrett but I think Nathan’s can be just as good. I think chef’s/focus groups generally say Nathan’s is the best. Nathan’s has a more complex flavor but Sabrett really is nice as savory.
