That place has history for sure… I’ve been snacking on their hotdogs, since I was a kid….as we would pass by on our way to the beach…. And that’s been a minute… -‘at least 40yrs.
 
I wish there was a high quality hot dog (sausage) in a high quality cornbread mix, not on a stick.
Most hot dogs are nasty.
One of our customers makes hotdogs. The chicken ones are rank, watching the bone carcass ground to a paste then squeezed into cases is enough of a reason to never have another hotdog.
 
Hit up Shorty’s, in Wake Forest, NC, for lunch today. It was good, but not what I remember. Their sign says the proudly serve Jesse Jones hot dog. Proudly Serve is right… at $3.15 each / slaw extra!!!! I get literally get three at Crickets in Smithfield, NC… for the price of one here. Nonetheless.. nostalgia got me and it was good to check out the place again.. 2 burnt all the way with slaw and cheese fries.

You want me to have a gout attack? Cause that's how I get a gout attack. The last real attack, multi-day flare event I had was after eating Jesse Jones hot dogs. I love 'em, but they try to kill me. Now days it's 100% all-beef, or nothing.
 
So to begin, I want to give credit Jim's Hotdogs, in the Reeds community of Lexington nc on hwy 150 at the corner of old 64, the best hotdogs I remember having in my life while growing up. Whether it is nostalgia or the "atw" overflowing dogs eaten with a fork on wax paper I don't know. It has long been closed, so these days a Nathan's for homemade or a recommendation to Dario for anyone near the Winston Salem area is my choice.
 
I reckon I will make a few more enemies on this one. 😬
I have not eaten a hotdog in over 30 years.
There it is...😂

The mayo thing? The hotdog/sausage purists say 'no mayo' on them. I say everyone's palates are different; if you like it, then do it.

YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH!

Next thing you know you'll be spouting nonsense as "there's nothing wrong with pineapples on pizza", "Cool Whip on banana pudding? Hells yeah!", and "beans are awesome in chili"!

"Natural casing..."

That reminds me of the time my shipmates on my first boat got me to try haggis for the first time in Scotland back in the 80s. It was a "You gotta try this!" thing, a catch phrase meaning "your shipmates are trying to pull one over on you".

They were shocked that I liked it. Having come from parents born in the early 1920s to large farm families, very little about various foods "disgusts" me.

"Dude, do you know what's in that?"

"Do you know what's in the sausages you like back home or what it's traditionally packed in?"

Yep, nothing went to waste.
 
Lots of great recommendations here and inspirations for some road trips.

My “favorite” hot dog place is Paul’s Place on Hwy 117 in Rocky Point, NC. I guess it evokes lots of good memories for me, as we would stop there when visiting family in the Wilmington area when I was a kid. Then, later, when I lived in the area in the late 70’s and early 80’s, it was a great place to stop off for a bite after a morning of deer hunting. I don’t get down there like I used to. But every time I walk in the place and that wonderful aroma hits me, I remember those cool November and December days when the windows would be damp with condensation, and the warm smell of hot dogs, onions, and bread filled the air.

They serve the brown variety of dog. Mustard, onions, and relish is their “all the way” dog.

The homemade relish is the twist which makes this typically either a “love it” or a “hate it” proposition. It's not for everybody. Paul’s Place has been around since 1928. During WW2, meat rationing meant they needed to come up with alternatives to chili. They formulated a sweet relish to get them through the rationing period. But after the war, the relish proved to be so popular with the customers that it was kept on the menu. Today, you can buy a jar of the relish there in the store. But chili is available if you're not feeling adventurous!

Another reason I like them so is that the buns are steamed as opposed to toasted (perhaps another survey?).

Dario is pretty good. My wife and I frequently split their two hot dog special for lunch. She likes hers all the way. I won't put slaw and chili on the same hot dog, so I get either mustard and slaw, or mustard, chili, and onions.
 
On the hotdog front, I'll never forget this place. Doogies up in Newington, CT. We used to stop there after shooting matches in Middletown. 2 foot long hot dogs, and good quality ones to boot. I used to load the sucker up with chili, cheese, kraut, caramelized onions, jalapenos and pepper relish. It was a chubby kid's dream come true. A fellow shooter's grandfather, skinny guy, would eat two of the things every time.

Juan day all these transgressions against the natural order of the world will catch up with you.
 
There used to be a quaint place called The Dog House in Kittery, Maine that served red hotdogs (and lobster rolls... because Maine).

That was where I first had red hotdogs. Wasn't sure I liked them at first because they were very different than the dogs I usually had. But the kids loved them (they were still very much in the "hotdogs and chicken nuggets" stage and these were RED!) so they rapidly grew on me.

I just looked them up and found out they closed a few years ago. Don't know when.
