Burger King's "disgusting disgrace" (anyone tried their hot dog yet?)

[K1052]

Where's the ketchup?

In the bottle where it belongs.

Sugardale hot dogs are the best...

 

[ElFenix]

IMHO they're the best hot dog buns out there.

i got the pepperidge farm version of these and they were too small. not deep enough so the dog just sat on top.

 

[sandorski]

They didn't even toast the bun? The damn incompetent trolls should close up shop and go live under a bridge for their insolence.

Indeed, first thought that crossed my mind. That shit is just the saddest looking hot dog I've ever seen someone try to sell. A wiener wrapped in a slice of bread looks more classy than that.

This.

Also Chicago is the capital of meat between buns.

Another fact that I have observed extensively....though not tested.

:hmm:

All they had to do was use Vienna beef hot dogs and copy Chicago style. And have NY Style for people who like plain hot dogs. But Burger King decided to copy the hot dogs at QT gas station.

How do you manage screw up a hot dog?
Maybe: "We want a 10 cent cost-of-goods hot dog for 1.3 cents. Make it happen."



Shouldn't a hot dog be more like an all-in-one tour of meat of every type? Kind of like a possibly-fake product label that showed up on the Internet somewhere, which featured "meat" as one of the ingredients.

Beef as a base, and then "season" it by adding various other animals to it. Pork, turkey, chicken, the occasional rat wandering lost through the factory, bring-your-child-to-work day, and so on.

The secret to the "Chicago flavor" was the occasional Lithuanian's finger making its way into the grinder.

I doubt that Chicago style hot dogs would do well in most US markets. Not a lot of people do that to a hot dog, nor would they want to try.

Seeing how a hot dog bun should be steamed, would this make you the troll here? I'm not saying BK steams the buns, I know they don't. But a toasted hot dog bun? UGH NO just no

Now you've done it

 

[Midwayman]

They lack the deep pleasure of the Hot Doug.

Used to work across the street from that place. Lines out the door every day. Went once in awhile, but was always an emphatic "meh". Kuma's Corner nearby however was special.

Well I like my hotdog and hamburger buns lightly toasted with a thin layer of butter on them but that is just what I'm used to and I think it tastes better that way. To each his own though if you prefer them steamed I'm sure that's fine too but like you said they don't bother steaming it either so I think we can agree their version leaves something to be desired.

a steamed bun is acceptable with a snap dog. a steamed bun with something like a hebrew national dog is only acceptable when it costs $1.50 with drink.

By the way, Top Dog, out of Berkeley, has been my favorite cased-sausage product eatery for some time now. They are known more for their variety of sausages (all fo them hand-made) than frankfurters, but I bring them up because they have the best buns I have ever had on a sausage (including my trips to Vienna and various parts of Germany...though I need more data there, certainly)

This place is awesome. You can buy uncooked sausages to cook at home, buns, even empty 5 gallon buckets for $2 each.

Plus, your sausage-shoving experience comes with a healthy dose of ultra libertarian/pseudo-communistic literature and artwork. A very unique place.

Guys, I just made dinner. Thanks to BK for the inspiration.

 

[zinfamous]

^great, now I had to go beat a puppy to feel better after seeing that disgraceful marriage of consumables.

Too much ketchup, not enough Dijon, but I'd eat it.

You guys are playing with my emotions!

Barn floor??? You mean slaughterhouse floor scrapings.

 

[ultimatebob]

Yeah... those suckers will fail here. All of the local restaurants around where I live buy Hummel dogs, which are awesome. It's one of the few things (besides Pizza) that Connecticut seems to do better than most places.

 

[glenn1]

BK dogs are probably still better than the shit on a plate they serve some places, such as Bens' Chili Bowl, or Skyline. There's very few places that would give you a hot dog worth eating, such as Salume Beddu but even then why would you given the near infinite amount of superior options.

That being said, what's next at BK, a shitty joke of a bahn mi, or gyro, or cheesesteak?

 

[Kaido]

This is a crime, I live in Chicago, where do I report this inhumane dog abuse?

If I ever ran for office, it would be the first thing I would eject from the state. I've lived here for over a decade & have never gotten used to eating them. It's just wrong & it makes me sad

 

[Humpy]

Yes! Thanks. I couldn't think of the name of the place.

I don't spend much time on farms.
