I LOVE hot dogs!!!! I bring hot dogs on every trip. To me, they are a quick and easy snack that can be cooked over the campfire. I have something like a pie iron only it has U's that hold the hot dog and I can cook up to 3 at a time. I never liked the hot dog forks or traditional stick. They just never worked for me. I always wind up ripping the hot dog or if it survives in one piece then getting it off is no fun when it is supper hot. I found this video and thought it was interesting. I never thought about doing "tin foil cooking" for them.

I go through hot dog withdrawl if I don't have them at least once a month. The local Home Depot by work has a little snack shack that has hot dogs on those roller wheels. They aren't great but at $1 each they do the job.

And that food "substance" is oh so tasty :chef:
Where I am from, Northern NJ, they deep fry the hot dogs......MMMMMMMmmmmm I have yet to mimic the taste at home. They basically deep fry them twice. Once to par cook it, then as you order it they just kind of dunk it in the oil to heat it back up.
It has been 8 months since I have been in NJ and had a hot dog.....I may have to convince DW to go on a road trip soon.

That double cooking procedure is called blanching. They'd use a low(er) temperature process the first time and the second time a higher temp. I could be done with boiling water the first trip and deep fryer the second. Just blot dry between water and oil to cut the splatter and lengthen the life of the oil.
(The same process is used for home made french fries, FWIW.)
Nope, always lived in Pennsylvania, but I've lived and worked in some parts of the state that don't have much in common with Philly, Harrisburg or Pittsburgh. If you didn't look at the road signs to see where you were, you'd have sworn it was a few hundred miles south of the Mason-Dixon line instead of a few miles north!

That's close, but you'd need to take it up a few notches. I've always suspected there was a bit of inbreeding involved in this area. Then toss in a lot of paranoia and a 12 gauge by the door along with at least one per truck (in a rear window gun rack) and you've got a very interesting area for an auslander to move in to.
