    You need some split top buns, my friend! And a chili recipe! And a source for good dogs that doesn't require a mortgage!

    Solid cook Darian, chili dogs are hard to beat. SRF definitely takes it up a couple of notches.

    Kobe beef is known for fat evenly and generously distributed throughout an unmolested cut of meat.  Once you grind meat up, you can add as much fat as you want, completely negating the advantage of Kobe.
    I don't get it.   :|

    @Carolina Q You nailed it with the split-top buns.  
    Was recently in the north country of New York State and the "Michigans" (dressed hot dogs) up there are a unique and a great recipe, not to mention taste.  The history is quite interesting if into that sort of thing.

    Bimbos, eh?  Were the buns soft & squishy?  Or were they firm?

    I don't disagree but I caught them on a good sale and they really are good. 
    Made a quick meal kinda special.

    I've never tasted them, but I bet they were GOOD!  

    It sorta broke my heart, though, seeing hot dogs that I'm guessing were finer than any I've ever had get slopped with that yucky canned chili.  I've tried several brands and they were all completely freaking awful!  Maybe if you grew up with it, I don't know.  I grew up in a town in Michigan where for some reason "Coney Island" chili dogs were a big deal, lots of restaurants all over town sold them, and they were SO good!  Any other kind of chili dog just sort of hurts my heart compared to what it could have been.  I really think that if you try a few home-made hot dog chili recipes and find one you like, you could make a big batch, freeze it in 1-meal pouches, and it wouldn't be a lot more trouble than canned, but SO much better!

    I agree on the chili.The can stuff is a last resort. I can make an OK chili that is much better but I just have to pick my battles for freezer space. Between fresh frozen fish, soups that my wife likes and my failure to pass up a great looking steak in the dead meat section keeps the freezer full. Plus the space it takes to keep the freezer packs ready to go in the freezer. And Blue Bell Ice Cream...
    Sacrifices have to be made. this time it was canned chili.lol

    I've been a big fan since the days of simply John Cougar. His latest album and tour with Carlene Carter is great. IMO one of the most underrated stars in music today. Have a great time.

    I hear you about the canned chili but the average hot dog can't be any better than canned chili.lol

    hard to beat hot dogs on a hot sunny day with a cold beer.  fine with the canned chili, scratching my head at the funny looking bimbo bunns =) if you have more of those fancy dogs, they are screaming for a sonoran style with refried beans, pico, avocado  , pickled japs, and a drizzle of crema

    Thanks, I will have to check out the new album.  
    Picked up Scarecrow on CD recently at a garage sale for $2.  

    Hearing his songs on the radio while cruisin' around town, makes you proud, and feel like you're home.  
    A couple of years ago at the Rock River Valley Eggfest, I was cranking out pies, half-lit, and Pete's friend played Pink Houses, was a really cool "hell yeah" moment I'll never forget.

    Can't beat a dog like that, even if there are no beans in the chili! =)  Is there a reason you score the dogs like that?
