Hot dog bun rant

[gsganzer]

Wife made taco's last night and we had them in these little taco boats, look like min cement tubs...

Have you ever had walking taco's made with a chip bag? They have them at the rodeo's around here.

While stationed in bonnie Scotland, in the mid 80's, the chow hall had buns that resembled a sub sandwich bun. I believe the civilian cooks made them in house.

Yep. That's a 'long roll'.

I really like the Meyers sausage, but I've been an even bigger fan of Southside Market sausage (we've called them 'hot guts' forever) going on 70 years!

There are so many good sausage makers. I do like Southside sausage. City Market in Luling. Blacks and Kreuz in Lockhart. Smitty’s. Cooper’s in Llano.

Are you anywhere near Snow’s in Lexington? That brisket is great. When you can get it. Haven’t been in awhile.

Here in Australia, and probably New Zealand, traditionally, a butcher (whether an independent 'shop' or a supermarket) is known by the sausage(s) they make.

We're spoilt for choice.

Do you have links or pictures of sausage or brisket you can post. I’d really like to see what y’all have down under.
Here is a pic I found of the City Market in Luling Texas hot rings.

We live between Cedar Creek and Bastrop. Never been to Lexington when Snow's was open, wish I could time a visit to Lexington when they were open. Heard lots of good things about their brisket.

I've sampled all the other places you've mentioned and agree that they all produce great barbecue.

Appreciated South Side for many years and was happy when they opened the Bastrop location.

Yeah I know what you mean about timing when they are open. I put Snow’s in the same category as Franklin’s in Austin. The food is fantastic but it’s hard to get to it.

If I could figure out how, I would try to be first in line to try Franklin's. I've heard so much about his BBQ and even watched his show on KLRN that I want to see for myself.

Same with Snow's. But to drive to Lexington and find them closed keeps me home!

I just don’t know how early you would have to get there to be first in line. Just luck of the draw on how it goes on any given day.

what a poor idea, did that once, if I had only known what it was...

Never heard of that before. Agree it doesn't seem like the best idea putting it all in a potato chip bag though I have done something similar using a bowl.

They make them around here and call them Frito pie. Basically open a bag of Fritos and pour in chile sauce and melted cheese. You eat them with a fork or spoon.

We had a hotdog dinner yesterday, home made of course. With the extra chili and mustard ... yummy!

Nice! Now I'm going to have to have us some "chili dogs"!

 

[Yander]

I pounded down a couple hot dogs, a soft pretzel and a half bag of popcorn at the ballgame tonight. Then watched my grandson hit a grandslam

Home made hot dogs? That's awesome; the best hot dogs I've had came from a local sausage place and they were amazing.

That sounds like a good time.

Even here in New England they can be hard to find. Some stores carry them, others not.
At least they seem to be more accurately sliced than the "other" kind.

I had this hot dog on Sunday, the bun was excellent

I bought a pack of Dietz & Watson natural casing dogs yesterday. I love a good dog, now and then.
