East Coast Hot Dog Buns?

Thanks soxnole,...sounds yummy! Is it still there and still as good as way back when?

Hmmmm,...musubi ( hotdog, rice, roasted seaweed ) or big, delicious, juicy steak????

Doesn't take a lot of brain cells to figure out that one!

Dad04,
Can't one just take a regular hot dog bun (like the yummy ones found in bakery dept at Publix) and slice it differently?
but then again we have issues here with all bagels, pizza and just plain all breads, it just ain't the same as up Nawth!

IF you are going to have those New England buns....don't forget the "red" hot dogs from Maine (think they are Jordan's brand)!

As for me and my bride, the best of hot dogs = Nathan's Famous

That's what we are cooking up for the Football game tail gate tonight, and for the Labor Day barbie.

Nathan's has been around a while (since 1916), and it must be the Lamb skin!


There is no way any USA lover of Famous Hot Dogs on Fourth of July will get near the 2006 new world record of gulping 53 and 3/4 hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes!


cheers

Finally we agree on something---Nathan's are # 1

Jerry's Beer Brat Recipe

Regular brats (no extra stuff in them)

Get grill hot (high on gas grill)

Chop large onion and one green pepper

Add one tablespoon of chopped garlic

Put onion, pepper and garlic in disposable tin pan.

Fill pan at least half full with beer

Put brats on grill and turn several times to brown well. Be careful not to break skin or burn.

Once browned well, put brats in pan with beer and onions. Cover with aluminum foil.

Put pan in low heat grill and let cook for about 45 minutes or more.

Take brats out of pan and put back on grill for just a minute or two.

Put brat on Bun and strain the beer out of pan leaving carmalized onions. Put onions on brat and watch out for burning your mouth on the first bite.

You can skip the peppers and garlic if you don't like them.

If you like brats... you will really like them fixed this way.

Jerry

Now you are talking food !!!!!

Who is bringing the grille to Jupiter ?

Food is my second favorite subject. It became #2 about 10 years ago! Before that it was #3.

Jerry,
Your recipe gave me goose bumps

I don't want to know what number 3 is!

PGStaff,....you've been holding out on us all this time???? Ya gotta post this over at the Ladies Only Forum,..and pass on the recipe!!!

I'll send ya my " get in free " card!!!

NUMMYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! I think my family will try it our tonight!
Man,...I'm now starving!!!

shortstopmom,

You have my permission to copy and paste.

I get the heebie Jeebies just scrolling past that forum. Afraid I might lose tough guy reputation by entering the "Ladies Only" forum.

PG:

Now I KNOW what is going on the labor day grill - thank you!!!!!

08

Thanks for the recipe.

TR and Bear, I have never enjoyed a Nathan's but if you are ever in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania go to a place called Ernie's Texas Lunch, and get a hot dog with the works. The best ever!!!

PGStaff,...copying and pasting away!

On behalf of the Ladies Forum ( if I may be so bold ) we thank you and hand over our BEST BBQ RECIPE YET title to you!! You da man!


( & dont worry,..we all still think you're a tough guy,..and not only that, but one he** of a good cook! Bonus points!!!)

...em brawts makin' there way down to Tejas, too......beer and all....

Just got finished with dinner with that excellent recipe shared with us by PG Jerry.

Since it's raining here in Vero, we decided to prepare Jerry's magic recipe inside on stove

We used Johnsonville Stadium Style Brats and also used an eight-pack of Oscar Myer Bun Length
hot dogs.

We chose a 6-pack of non-alcoholic beer, O'DOUL'S Premium and Extra Smooth for that part of Jerry's recipe.

We used a frying pan to brown brats and hot dogs before placing them in the brew with the onion, bell pepper and garlic.

Both the brats and dogs came out very tasty according to guests here today and all food was consumed with a little help from pets even though not much was left over for scraps.

I'm going back to publix for more to cook on grill at later date, maybe tomorrow with chicken and steaks, if weather permits.

Thanks Jerry for the great idea! peace, Shep

Never had that problem with you--- I think I passed you years ago and only now am I slowing down so you can catch up

This is a scary thread...

Bordering "Karmic" in nature...

Forgot to mention that the brats will fit nicely on one of them sombrero type tortillas........Tejas style, if you will.

TR and Bear....

Lived and worked on the least coast for several years and although Nathan's Famous is as good as it get's out there....it pales in comparison to dozen's of joints in Chicago. Portillo's for instance makes Nathan's look like a MCDonald's next to Ruth's Chris!

There is nothing like a Chicago style hot dog.

Just a few weeks ago I had a hotdog in the Chicago Airport. Believe it or not, it was a "Nathan's" Chicago Style Hot Dog.

Can't say it was the best ever, but it was pretty darned good for an Airport dog!

I've always wondered... Is it the condiments that seperate a Chicago Style Hot Dog from all other Hot Dogs? Or is it something else?

I've also been confused with Chicago and New York Pizza. Is one thick and one thin? Here in the farming communities of Iowa, we have both types. We just order thin crust or thick crust.

How does a piece of a cow from Iowa end up being called a New York Strip?

PG -
These are questions that need to be answered!

PG,

In NY - there are two types of pizza.

1) Regular pizza - what you would call thin crust.

2) Sicilian pizza - which is thick dough/crust.

Mangia!!!

Maybe they only call them New York Style pizzas in other parts of the country?

By the way, I prefer the New York Style to the Chicago Style pizza. Yet, some of the best pizza I've ever tasted was in Chicago. I think it was New York Style pizza.

Speaking of best of everything... IMO

Best Ribs - Kansas City

Best Steak - Japan

Best Shrimp - Vietnam

Best Steakhouses - Chicago and Omaha

Best Brisket - Austin

Best Sweet Corn - Iowa

Best Lobster - New England

Best Italian - San Diego

Best Chinese - Forgot the name but its on the highway outside of Boston.

Best fried baloney sandwiches - Shell gas station Exit 4 in Paducah Kentucky

Surely everyone agrees with all those choices.

Best Mexican Food - Mexico

I've heard the shrimp in Nam are as big as brook trout.

Yes they are and they are sweet.

PG - Couldn't you have recognized some place in KY for bar-b-que or fried chicken or something else!!! LOL

I laughed so hard when I read that I had to wipe the tears out of my eyes before I could post...LOL...I had never heard of such a thing until I married my husband. I wonder if he stopped at the same shell station?....lol...

HowUBe - Just for the record, this KY girl hates fried bologna!! My brother loves it though... guess I'll pass along this recommendation to him!!! LOL

Seriously, I like the fact that our PG doesn't have snobby tastes!! It's not always about the ambiance ya know!

Lafmom,

That shell station may never be the same after this!…LOL…I can see it now, the line will be going around the corner.

They may have to stock up on boloney.

P.S.

You are right it is nice to know PG doesn't have snobby tastes.

Well we had Jerry's Beer Brats for dinner - simply outstanding!!!!

Thanks for sharing the recipe...

I may love your beer brats but

best Italian San Diego - not a chance compared to New Jersey.

And best Chinese is definitely not anywhere near Boston but rather here in northern california - in San Francisco.

And I will nominate my home town for best Salmon - nothing like a salmon fresh off the boat in monterey bay.

Oh - and the best Pizza - right out of the box, sitting on the hill in right field - Carmine's from Chatham on Cape Cod. Great Pizza and cape cod baseball - doesn't get any better....

08 dad,

OK, maybe I don't know what I'm talking about! I haven't been everywhere... Yet!

Best Canadian food - Canada!

Want to argue that one?

What is Canadian food?

I'm not sure about that Canadian food - best I can come up with is Maple syrup - which is really good but is it really canadian? Vermonter's might argue that one...

And of course with some food there simply is no best ... English food for example... basically there is no such thing as good english food - and therefore there cannot be a best!!!!

And by the way - anytime you are in California, drop me a PM and I will treat you to the best tasting salmon you have ever had (or great chinese food if you prefer!!!!)
