"Hot Dog Bob"

Barndoor - you are sooooooooooooooo right!! He is the textbook definition of "friendly customer service". And, if you met up with him on the snowiest day in January with temperatures below zero he'd be JUST the same as he is in the summer. (And that's the truth!)

I am not sure that Bob steams the dogs. I got the impression it was a baked dog (at home) and kept hot in the cart. It was great.

Coming from the hotdog king, I would hope he is not baking them. As a matter of fact, I've never heard of baking hotdogs. Most carts are set up to at least have the hotdogs in hot water. Natural casing dogs are the only way to go and if they are brought to the proper temp they will have a great snap to them. Trust me as I've made millions of them.

Back in the 50s in Northern New Jersey there was a diner that Deep Fried their nearly foot long hot dogs. The dogs would split open lengthwise during cooking. Add sauerkraut and mustard. Yummy.

VERY CLOSE: "MY" diner was in Paterson

NB

PS: Clifton is right next to Paterson..next town over..

PPS: We usually DID this diner when we were winding down from an "Out and About" situation on Friday night..Saturday morning at maybe 1:30 AM....Those were the days...

You could be right but baking a hot dog is one of my favorite ways to make them split.

SIKSUKR · 05-09-2012, 08:12 AM

Is that a word? Sorry guys but the last thing you want to do is make a hotdog split while cooking. That would be comparable to cutting a steak while cooking and letting all that wonderful flavor/juice drain away.

I'm the guy that yells at the guy on the barbecue making all those cuts in the hotdog before cooking them

I raised the question of 'baked hot dogs' to Bob, and he assured me that he cooks his hotdogs right there at the cart on the docks. Anyone walking by is welcome to watch his culinary skills in action.

Maybe I was not at Hot Dog Bob's place. This was a cart next to Baileys Bubble.

That is Bill. He served Nathan's last time I was there. Not sure if he still does. Bob has Sabrette's (sp?). I like natural casing and I like Nathan's. Hot dog Bob wins with his fresh squeezed lemonade!
