how come there arent any well known hot dog places in america?

Question

wheni went to florida i saw loads of fast food places that specialize burgers and chicken and whatnot, why not hotdogs?

Answer 1

i'm with piggypie on this one - i live in the mount pleasant area and jacks cosmics dogs are great. theres also another one in mount pleasant on coleman blvd but can't think of the name of it, they are good too.

Answer 2

Grey Pappayas is famous in New York. Nathan's hotdogs (Coney Island).



We have a local place that is well known throughout the area for having good hot dogs. It's been around for many years.

Answer 3

What part of Florida were you in? I'm in Fort Lauderdale and I can think of 5 hot dog places off the top of my head! Actually, I've seen a resurgence of hot dog restaurants in the past few years, and there's always a line out the door. You just have to look!

Answer 4

Well, there are some regional ones, just not national...like the Sabretts hotdog company has some restaurants in some malls, etc. They are not free-standing restaurants, but usually kiosks or mall locations.



Some other hotdog places: Hebrew National, Der Wiener Schnitzel (which are a chain of free-standing restaurants)

Answer 5

If you want a great hot dog, I would suggest Pinks in L.A or how about trying a Chicago Dog!



In my opinion there is alot of great hotdog places, you just have to look and be open to different types of dogs.

Answer 6

A couple of words for you. Jacks Cosmics Dogs. It's in Mount Pleasant South Carolina. It was on an episode of some show that Alton Brown did for the Food Network. But I know about this place because I live in the area. Some more words for you------YUMMY YUMMY !!!!!

Answer 7

Try Weiner Works in Danville Illinois

Answer 8

the only well known hot dog places in america are nathans...if you want to go you can to to the very first nathans in coney island brooklyn...if you cant go there, sometimes the mall food courts have a nathans or you can always go to new york city to get a "famous dirty water" hot dog on the street corners

Answer 9

Definitely Costco!

Answer 10

Well in the western half of the country there is "Wienerschnitzel" (you said "well known" not "good"). After 47 years in business they have well over 300 locations.

Answer 11

Cuz you were in FLORIDA. Go to NY or Chicago or LA !!! if you want a hot dog experience.

Answer 12

here in NY we have nathans, papaya the best place to eat a good cooked hot dog.

Answer 13

Um, I disagree. How about "Pink's" in L.A. or "Weiner's Circle" or "Hot Doug's" in Chicago or "Nathan's" in NY.

Answer 14

Because, that's like saying you specialize in peanut butter and jelly or grilled cheese.

Answer 15

Cause there all in New York on the street corners!!!

Answer 16

its called Wiener Schnitzel

Answer 17

I though Nathan's was well known...I guess not as much as I thought.
