Best hot dog I ever had was in Nebraska. I had gone out for my buddy's wedding, and all the guys had gone out for a pseudo-bachelor party one night. We started at some guys house for some food and he made them...they were true red hots from a local butcher shop. No clue where exactly they came from but they were AWESOME. Nice bite, had a little spice to them, great flavor, mmmm mmmm mmmm....damn they were good! Probably ate 6 or 7 of them. Totally ruined my hot dog eating life. Kinda like the smokin' hot blonde you managed to bag one time by accident in college. You could never find her again because she mysteriously disappeared (or went into hiding because you had the opposite effect on her), but she changed the way you looked at things. She was so hot and so awesome that no one else could measure up to her...that was this hot dog. These days I settle for Nathan's and hanging out with my wife. Adding bacon and guacamole to them helps, but it will never be the same.

Sanoran Hot Dogs from Marcos food cart in Longmont CO. The dog is wrapped in bacon, put on a bun and topped with pinto beans, tomato, onions, mexican crema, shredded cheese. Very tasty.

Okay...I LOVE hot dogs just about any way I can get them. I also travel a bit and there are a few places that offer some of the best dogs I've had.
I have trouble choosing my favorite Chicago dogs so I'm just going to list some of my favorite places to grab them. Super Dog - Chicago, Il... You can get a basket of fries, an amazing Chicago dog, and a DELICIOUS pickled green tomato... 9 times out of 10 (if I'm not getting a sopping wet Italian beef sammy) this is the first thing I eat when I enter the Windy City.. Portillos - Chicago, Il... I know this is a franchise and some people frown on the big guys but the Maxwell St polish dog is soo good.. Vienna Beef Factory - Chicago, Il... If you don't atleast go here once while visiting, you're a dirty sinner.. Again, people might say, "why mention the big guys." Vienna Beef hot dogs (in general) ARE the Chicago hot dog.. Just go! The interesting thing about Chicago is that I've not been upset with any of the vendors when it comes to a Chicago dog... If you didn't want to hunt any of these places down, you could just snag the first C-Dog you see.. It'll probably satisfy you. Steve's Hot Dogs on the Hill - The Hill, St. Louis... This place is closer to home for me. If you're ever in St. Louis, you MUST visit the Hill and devour some of Gian Tony's fine Italian cuisine.. In this tiny Italian district you will find a spot that seems out of place-- Steve's Hot Dogs on the Hill... His chili dog almost made me cry it was so good.. He actually smokes his (Nathan's) hot dogs! His chili dog is my personal favorite but virtually EVERYONE is there for his Gorilla Mac n Cheese Dog, which is piled high with mac n cheese, bacon, and those little crispy onions you put on green bean casserole! All of his dogs are nestled in a hoagie bun... You can even get salsiccia made right there on the Hill.. Do not even try to eat one of these hot dogs while driving.. You'll regret it..

I'll second the Sonoran dog. Best I've ever had was at Q-TO-U BBQ in Anthem, AZ. I believe their version is named the Hawg Dawg.

When I think of hot dogs I think of baseball. Growing up in Milwaukee I spent many a summers day watching the Braves and having a County Stadium dog. These were nothing fancy. An all beef dog boiled and placed into a steamed bun with just the right amount of brown mustard delivered to your seat in a tin foil wrap by the vendor. I don't boil any of my meat, but this is one that it is suited for perfectly. A baseball dog is what KISS was designed for. Now I got order more Bertmans mustard............

There is a hot dog stand between Cheshire and Waterbury Ct. that makes it's own hot pepper relish that has been there since 1928. At lunch time there are cars parked on both sides of the road. Everytime I go to Ct. I stop by Blackies.http://www.blackieshotdogs.com/history.php
Here is a link.
