Anyone tried making his hotdogs from 'Charcuterie' (pages 164-165)? Going to give it a whirl if my hog casings come in anytime soon

    Yep. Good flavor.  Mine seemed coarser than commercial dogs, but i think that was neither a positive nor negative. They emulsified nicely. I used regular casings so they were pretty jumbo 

    it think it would be a good recipe to augment. You know, make spicier, whatever

    Thanks for the reply. Good to know. My toddler son loves hotdogs so wanted to see if he would like them. Curious about consistency now. Although That would mean more for me

    @Darby_Crenshaw did you double grind? Also what grind plates did you use?

    would be interested in giving these a run too.

    Food processor? For example... http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2014/03/ryann-farr-new-york-style-hot-dog-recipe.html

    Disclaimer, I've never done it. Wanted to though. :)

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    i followed the recipe, which i think was double grind plus some amount of mixer time.  i think if you wanted a perfectly uniform emulsification like you get with storebought, you'd run it thru a blender or with a blender-stick.
