For our July 2017 issue, we celebrate The Golden Age of Hot Dogs.
Street Dog Carts
My wife calls them “dirty water hot dogs.” And yes, they float, pre-cooked, in water until you order. But crisped up on that tiny grill, a hot mett with spicy mustard and fresh-diced onions is king of the streets. —Jay Stowe
Skyline Cheese Coney
Proof that culinary masterpieces come in all shapes, sizes, and smells. The umami of the chili—yeah, I said it—mixed with that mound of cheese and a dash of hot sauce turns an ordinary hot dog into city-defining sustenance. —Justin Williams
Costco Hot Dogs
After surviving the ultimate suburban shopping gauntlet (Bulk diapers! Dog food by the pallet!), reward yourself with a jumbo all-beef hot dog with mustard and relish (and beverage!) for only $1.50. Nitrates never tasted better. —Joanne Drilling
U-Lucky Dawg Veggie Hot Dog
In a town that in most other ways has shaken off its limited-options past, a guy could starve for want of a veggie dog. Thank the Sausage Gods for U-Lucky Dawg, a food truck featuring an A-level, moist, spicy meal for non-carnivores. Cincinnati, please: let the dogs out! —RJ Smith
