Let’s settle this hot dog debate once and for all.

[BobPSU92]

No, not that one. We all decided a long time ago that ketchup goes on hot dogs.

The debate that we need to settle is side-cut or top-cut hot dog buns.

 

[psuro]

All 10 of my hot dogs in the pack will be put into the 8 side cut hot dog buns in that pack.

Top cut is for trade unionists who have a penchant for buggery.

If you can put your hotdog in it, does it matter?

Someone like me shouldn’t be picky.

 

[Bosco2]

Those buns are so very hard to find. Grill them with a little butter.

When faced with a difficult, yet critical decision like side-cut vs. top-cut hot dog buns, I assume that you folks think:

”What would the esteemed SMEs on BWI McAndrew do?

 

[NittPicker]

I've never seen top cut hot dog buns before. Turn it 90 degrees and you have a side cut.



Bottom cut buns are rare but they're out there.

That reminds me of the way HoJo’s used to do them and they were damn good. RIP HoJo’s.

At this age, no it doesn't

My own impression is that you can more easily load up the side cut buns with onions relish and the like.

Top cut is for trade unionists who have a penchant for buggery.

I’m guessing there is a strong correlation between top-cut hot dog people and sock-shoe, sock-shoe people.

I know Marshall is waiting for Franklin to make a choice before he decides which side to mock.

"Sometimes a bun is just a bun," Freud

"Oh buns! How many wars were waged in thy name!", Pope

"A bun is a bun is a bun," Thorndike

Bun E. Carlos. Demonstrates he clearly prefers it on the side.

Yeah, New England. What you need to do is, order a lobster roll, throw the lobster away, then insert a hot dog.

 

[LionJim]

Yeah, New England.

Yeah, good call. Of course.

 

[BostonNit]

To be honest, the bigger question is if a hot dog is a sandwich.

 

[razpsu]

This is a good thread to read when I’m sitting here getting my chemo infusion for 6 hours.
ketchup check
Top bun cut interesting may like it.
Hot dog must be the length of the bun, no longer. In other words no dangling meat.

 

[CVLion]

I too have to admit that I had never before seen nor heard of top cut hot dog buns.

They seem to make a lot of sense gravitationally, and had they been on my radar long back, I’m sure I would have voted for them here.

But given that I’ve known nothing but side cut buns in my 55+ years of life, I had to vote based on what’s wired into me at this point.

 

[CVLion]

To be honest, the bigger question is if a hot dog is a sandwich.

Sir, that is highly DIShonest because there is no question in that regard.

A hot dog is NOT a sandwich, it falls under its own separate genus and species in the grand kingdom of cookout fare. End of story.

I’m picturing a customer bringing a package of top-cut hot dog buns into the grocery store and asking to exchange them.

The grocer asks, “But why, sir? Is there anything wrong with these?”

And the customer replies, “Yeah, sorry. I got them home and dropped the package on my kitchen floor. When I picked them up and took a closer look, I realized I’d bought bottom-cut buns by mistake!”

Sad part is, I could also imagine this actually happening

Oh, 100%. By brother-in-law is a Sheboygan boy and anal about his brats. No way top-cut buns would work for him.

Why Are There 10 Hot Dogs but Only 8 Buns in Each Package?

 

[DaytonRickster]

Ketchup, NO! I have used a hamburger bun when I had no hot dog buns left.

 

[BobPSU92]

Why Are There 10 Hot Dogs but Only 8 Buns in Each Package?

I buy jumbo wieners, four to a pack. Two packs of jumbo wieners and one pack of buns. No waste.

I only eat jumbo wieners.

Since there’s no “OT:” in the subject line for this thread, I figured it was mandatory that Nittany Lion Franks make an appearance

Where does Hot Dog Focaccia Fall?

 

[lionJC]

Don't eat hot dogs so I can't answer the question

 

[NittPicker]

Where does Hot Dog Focaccia Fall?

My personal take on hot dogs.....

Traditional hot dog is the only way to go. That's on a hot dog bun with the condiments of your choice. Ketchup, mustard, onions, relish, chili, sauerkraut, etc. Whatever combination floats your boat. Do you like ketchup on a hot dog?? Go for it and don't let anyone tell you it's evil.

Any other wiener serving techniques make me gag. Focaccia hot dogs?? WTF is that?? Cut up and mixed into baked beans?? That's for kids under 10 years old. Corn dogs??

And (in the voice of Frank Contanza) there's one more thing that bothers me about some of you people. Pigs in a blanket aren't wieners wrapped in some sort of gross pastry. I don't know who invented rolled up hot dogs and called them pigs in a blanket, but they need to have their asskicked. Pigs in a blanket is halupki. Or maybe that's just a western PA thing. I'd never heard of the "other" pigs in a blanket until I was about 30 years old.

If you are into that kind of stuff...
not that there's anything wrong with that.

Sorry Bob,
I don't care for the two choices; are there other ways a bun can accommodate a 'Red Hot'?

I tried a hot dog without a bun the other day......terrible experience.

Mount Rushmore of sandwiches.

Are ketchup and mustard seasonings?

Condiments?

 

[MtNittany]

The Dune Dog in Jupiter uses top slitted buns. Good enough for me. Best restaurant in town. Yuengling AND Birch Beer on tap.
