Best Hot Dog
Where is the best Hot Dog?
My favorite - Famous Uncle Al's on Shore Drive in Virginia Beach. (I like it better than Nathan's). Honestly, though, I don't generally get a hot dog when travelling so would appreciate any local opinions. It would be some good info for a quick lunch.

For me, the best hot dog is a genuine Kosher frankfurter usually Hebrew National on a hot dog bun, topped with a generous application of spicy brown authentic Kosher delicatessen mustard usually Ba-Tampte (from the Canarsie section of Brooklyn) or Hebrew National brands. Sauerkraut is optional but welcome. I usually prepare them outside on the grill at home, or I enjoy them at any number of Kosher delicatessens in New York.
Nathans Famous in Coney Island comes second, and it is the only non-Kosher frankfurter that I enjoy.

I personally like Portillo's and I'm thrilled that they've opened their first CA store not far from where I live.
As much as I like their Chicago dogs, I order their Italian Beef with hot peppers three out of four visits.

Red Hot Lovers, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Their Chicago Dog beats anything I've ever had in Chicago (although to be fair, the typical Chicago Dog is meant to be ingested between the hours of 2 and 4 am when one is in a state such that the quality of the product really doesn't matter all that much)!

And what do you suppose the hot dog that's pictured is made from? Are there a lot of beef cattle roaming the land ?
Serious question as I have not spent anytime in Japan except at the airport.

Cheers on the spamming recognition. And I would guess the MOS beef is from cattle that has lived a satisfying life somewhere in the Australian outback or Midwest US.
