hot dogs are too annoying. The buns and dogs are never sold in the same amounts it's a trap oh buy a dog and buns now you have 4 extra dogs so you buy 8 more buns but now you have 4 extra buns and need more dogs.
Fuck hotdogs, ever since covid they stopped selling single buns so I don't eat hot dogs or sausages from the deli anymore

I guess it's like that with a lot of food, it seems better when you are out and about buying it off a shitty food truck/cart.
I used to work at a hotdog cart when I was a teenager and they are much better from there, they buy good quality dogs in bulk so automatically they are a cut above most grocery store dogs.
also they cook it on a griddle with onions that cook on it all day so it's got those melted down flavors stuck to the grill around lunch time which gives it that good street flavor and the toasted buns. I can make street style dogs at home they are pretty dank.
The following users say it would be alright if the author of this
post didn't die in a fire!
also the trick is to boil them all day in that hotdog water and keep them steaming in that water so they are steam dogs and then you cook them up on the griddle when someone asks for one. If you look closely at a hotdog stand you will see dogs cooking but when you ask for one they pull it out of the vat instead of from the griddle
because you are getting a fresh cooked dawg those other ones are just to stink up the hood and make people hungry :)
You can make a lot of fast food stuff at home but yeah it's hard to compete with a million dollar RnD team with their own supply chain and flavor scientists.
There is a pretty dedicated DIY community for everything from soda to fast food and candy that people try to make themselves and get pretty close. Imagine if this much energy was put into people making their own medicines and learning chemistry, whoa

the flavor comes from day long unwashed hands.
At least where I live hotdog stands are pretty sanitary. There are health inspectors that do random checks all the time so you gotta keep your operation on code at all times.
