BUFFALOKIE Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I am thinking of having 10 lbs of Sahlen's Hot Dogs delivered. I remember that I really like them, but can't remember if I had all beef, or pork and beef. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what Ted’s serves, but these are pretty darn good and when my family visits they consider it a treat. A one pound package is 7 hot dogs.

If it isn't the natural casing dog skip it... their "smokehouse" version, even in the south now, .... sucks. The collagen casing they use is horrible and they are Way saltier than the real deal. Bottom line: avoid the ***** "smokehouse" version. I actually like the Hofmanns natural casing dogs better... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted serves both but their standard hot dog is pork. You need to ask for the beef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choosing between a Ball Park style hot dog vs any kind of Sahlens (or Hofmann’s, regardless of casing, beef or pork), is like choosing between a box of cheap wine or anything the sommelier has to offer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that I really like them, but can't remember if I had all beef, or pork and beef. Any recommendations? It might be cheaper to drive to Buffalo and pick them up. My son got me a 3 lb. pack of Sahlens for Father's Day a few years ago. Since it came to my house in my name, (didn't know what it was), I happened to see the invoice. Over $80 for shipping!! That was for the 3lb package. I love Sahlens, but that's a little steep.. a lot steep. If you do go back, if you drive, take an Omaha Steaks type cooler. Freeze the dogs before you leave, add frozen ice packs (doesn't need to be dry ice), make sure the cooler is closed and leave it closed. We've driven back over 2 days, (to Kansas), in the middle of the summer and left them in the trunk. WHen we got home, everything was still frozen. If you find a place that ships cheaper, post it here...but shipping costs have always been a killer. Eh, I still have about 10 lbs in my freezer, Im set for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's probably some WNY ex-pat in your area. I got lucky a little over a year ago. I was in a convenience store and had a Bills hoodie on. A guy approached me who was a delivery guy for a local pizzeria. He said his bosses were from Buffalo. I had to check it out and sure enough, they make it the way its supposed to be made. Two brothers, their grandparents had a pizzeria near the Pierce Arrow factory at one time. They are comparable to Boccie Club. It'll be pepperoni and mushroom with Labatts for the Ravens game. (Yeah, I found a liquor store that carries Blue, despite being 1000 miles away from Buffalo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The regular ones are by far, the best hotdogs on the planet. Fight me.

I was looking at the 10 lb pack for $70 ish, and free shipping IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
