Actually, I like the hot dogs in Baja Sur, especially those made with buns from the French bakery in Sta. Rosalia. They are GOOD! I love the selection
of creative toppings, bring on the black olives and freshly grated cheese.
In Mulege just down from the firehouse there's a walk-in, sit-down hot dog restaurant, open only at night.
Pescador, where's Chuyita in Sta. Rosalia, please? |
Chuyita is the best known stand in this part of Baja, they used to be right in front of the church but moved across the street just south of the
church. They were the first ones to start using buns from El Boleo bakery but the guy who made them quit and started his own bakery and specialized
in the buns. He now supplies most of the hot dog sellers. When he left El Boleo, they got him to agree not to advertise or put up a main street
location, but even though he is a little off the beaten path, he makes a ton of buns every day.

You're right about this, Hooker. They were great dogs. I think of 'em every time I drive past that skinny triangle of real estate where they used to
live.

While not seemingly apropos to this thread, over the weekend Glen Bell passsed away. He was the founder of Taco Bell. He actually founded a couple of
other taco places before settling in with the Taco Bell concept. His connection with hot dogs? One of Glen's early employees was a fellow named John
Galardi. With Glen's assistance, Galardi founded the Der Weinerschnitzel chain. Have to admit, no one mentioned Weinerschnitzel in this thread. Guess
they don't match up to some other hot dog legends. And Glen was also instrumental in helping another employee start the Del Taco chain.

Sabrett hotdogs! Absolutely the best tasting dog I've ever eaten.
In San Diego, there is a Sabrett hotdog stand on Clariemont Mesa Blvd, at a gas station off Genesee, or a little East of Genesee. I'm going there
right now!

Back in the day, in NYC, Sabrett pushcarts were all over the place. The secret to their taste was that the dogs sat in hot water all day. In local
parlance, they were known as "dirty water dogs". How does your local purveyor prepare them?

I like Dodger Dogs. Oh well, I like the Dodgers too. What can I say?
About Mexican made weenys.....Noticing in the case at Com-Mex, there must be twenty different brands of Turkey and Chicken dogs. I,ve tried most of
them. I cut them in pieces, fry them and give them to my dog. Believe me....she knows just how to get a WTF look on her face.
Anyway, I'll occasionally try a small piece and they are terrible. Not only that, they swell up to twice the original size when cooked. It's
probably all the filler expanding in the heat. I don't think you could wrap them with bacon.
The chicken dogs are new to me. Hadn't seen them before. I'll definitly draw the line when the label says Gaviota or Paloma.

This particular cart is towed behind a truck into it's spot. They are made exactly how you mentioned... as dirty water dogs! Yummy!

I've been looking for a source without success. At one time Restaurant Depot carried Sabrett's but discontinued them.
Bob, if you could discreetly ask who is their purveyor it would be greatly appreciated. You couldn't shop there but I could and would return
the favor.

Dave- You can try these guys. Or if you go to the Sabrett.com link I posted on the first page of this thread, they list a couple of other
distributors.
http://www.foodsofnewyork.com/
These guys ship via FEDEX and also offer Gabila's Knishes.

Chicago SuperDawg - to die for good!
They now have an outlet at Midway airport which makes it worth landing in the midwest.

I have to agree with Hooker also. The Kaspers are great. Boars Head are really good too.
Now in San Felipe, the best dogs are at Victors Jumbos. Sets up after 7 at night on Chetumal just north of Banamex. He actually serves beef jumbos
(the only beef at the carts in town) and homemade fries. Uses real mayo and all the fixins. 20 pesos.
The beef are sold here in town at La Vaquita. Rosarita Brand I believe.

I bought the skinless Sabrett's at Henry's in Poway a while back. Haven't been back there for a while - just get them at the stand when I have a
craving. I'll see what I can find out from them.
But, Bajahowodd has a good link for buying Sabretts. Scroll back up a bit to get the link.

I did not know this. What I do know is the one with the link (Caspers) was the one I was talking about. Never tried the other. Caspers hotdogs are the
only ones I ever found that actually taste great in a tortilla too. Most dogs just don't taste right in a tortilla. For a short period of time you
could buy Caspers at Costco but they quit selling them for some reason.
Heres a great party item. Buy the Pillsbury Grand Biscuits. Boars Head Hotdogs in Casing.
Cut the hotdogs in half. Roll in the biscuit and bake till the biscuit is golden and you have the best pigs in a blanket. Dip in the Boars Head
Horseradish Sauce. Yummmmm.

Thanks Bob. I'm interested in a wholesale vendor. I doubt the hot dog stand would be buying at the grocery store.

this is scary...
Americans consume
818 hot dogs every second
during the Hot Dog Season.
The Hot Dog Season is from
Memorial Day to Labor Day.
The average American eats 60 hot dogs every year.

You are correct. I remember talking to them a while back and they get them shipped in from somewhere else. I just didn't ask where at the time.
