BillsZubaz Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 In my mind it gets no better than Zwiegles in Rochester, NY. Think sausage like skins that pop open- thick and great flavor.- Available in Red Hots and White Hots!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flutie Flakes Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Best hot dogs in the Capital District IMO are either Mike's Hot Dogs in Schenectady (Michigan style with everything and awesome greasy fries) or Dirty John's in Glens Falls (now I believe called New Way Lunch). Newest Lunch also makes a good hot dog with meat sauce as well. Hard to find Zwiegles in this area so I would have to go with Sabrett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 i have tried zweigels, I like them, however being a lifelong hoffman guy, they still do not compare for me. I do think that zweigels has a nice peppery characteristic to it.....hell zweigels, sahlens, hoffmans.....if you are eating any of the three you won't go wrong...all very good hot dogs, its funny how regional thing the hot dog is I have never tried Hoffmans...Have you ever had Zwiegles...

ExiledInIllinois Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Used to be Best's Kosher until Sara Lee took them over and now you can't get them anymore. At the Sox game in Chicago. Nothing beats an all beef dog Chicago style. Sahlens, makes me want to puke now... I can't believe I put up with those. And grilled? Okay, not bad... But, "dirty water" with celery salt is the way to go. Shoot me now BFLOians! In line of order since Best's went out: 1. Red Hot Chicago 2. Vienna Beef 3. Anything all beef 4. The rest One thing that has changed me is the hot dogs around here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transient Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Had lots of hot dogs at various places, but never raved about a dog until I had Hebrew National all beef. Apparently, per a friend, they are what are served at Cubs games (personally, never had the honor.) Get the giant foot long dogs... amazing.

Live&DieBillsFootball Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Old timers will remember (spelled phonetically) Wordinski's and Skelenguski You can still buy Wardinski's in WNY. Shelley's are long gone though. I always buy Sahlen's. One time this summer I bought Wardinski's when the place I was at was out of Sahlen's. They were good but not as good as Sahlen's IMO.

oregonbbfan Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Thanks, didn't know Wardinski still existed. Had Ridlinski on line send me 10# of Sahlens, Teds chili sauce and a jar of Webers. Loved it at first but you can only eat so many dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan_34 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 This is off, but who makes the best hot dog? I would have to say teds...Nothing like a good sahlens. And their hot sauce is killer. Love the onion rings too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Paulson Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Buffalos best was & still is FREYS Frey's Bologna rocks - never had their hot dogs Sahlens and Wardys are 1 and 1a to me-- never had a Zweigle or if i did it did not stand out you must have the natural casing to make it a good dog- it has to pop! their is a butcher up here in WI called Haen's meat that has a good natural casing dog saves me the the hassle of bringing back 5 lbs from buffalo every trip + the buffalo dogs lose their flavor after sitting in the freezer for a few months- the last couple of dogs aren't that good I've bought from www.buffalofoods.com also but with shipping and handling you get up cliose to $10/lb- might as well buy a good steak for that price hhmmmm might be a good night for some dogs!

ExiledInIllinois Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Chicago style or Maxwell Street style (hot dog or sausage with grilled onions and mustard). Now, if they could use Weber's mustard... It would make a Maxwell Street x10 better. Nothin' better... All other is slop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watching since 1964 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Nathan's Famous are all beef I think. Very good dog. Frey's are good also and yes, as someone mentioned their bologna is good. Prefer Zweigles all beef bologna though. Tops charges $5.99 lb. which IMO is a lot for bologna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyT Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Being from Roch I'm obligated to say Zweigle's pop open, but Hebrew National makes a damn good dog too. They're actually pretty different so I can enjoy either depending on what I'm craving that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Zweigel's are awesome. I prefer the white hots. But Sahlen's makes the best true hot dog. Zweigel's are more of a "wurst" than a hot dog. Wardynski's are very good too. FYI: Ted's grills Sahlen's dogs. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Gotta go with Ted's. The lump charcoal they use is what does the job. I live in Syracuse where Hoffman's is king and everyone loves Heids in Liverpool but to me, that stuff is lame compared to Ted's. Love those shirts too, the black ones, any way to get one without being an employee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
