I third, fourth?, Cloos Coney Island in Mission Valley. Their hot dogs have the "snap". I also love Roast Grill downtown.
And on the North/South thing, I think the complaint was not about the people asking "where can I get hot dogs like up north", which is a legitimate question. It was a complaint about why do you have to say bad things about the way Southerners eat their hot dogs in asking the question. I am a Southerner and don't like my dogs with slaw, like many in NC, but there is no reason to say bad things about them.
And the soggy buns......I think you just went to a bad hot dog vendor....it is the fair, for goodness sake....what did you expect. At the fair, I go for corn dogs only and am careful to get the ones freshly made, not the ones sitting out for hours. The quality from vendor to vendor at the fair is QUITE different!
What north carolina native would dare make an ass of themselves by bitching about the lack of grits, red eye gravy, hog jaw, cue, chicken pastry, fried cornbread, collards, black eyed peas up North? Get over your self. This is OUR home. You chose to move here. Why should we change for anyone? Have you ever heard of southerners trying to change Yankee culture? Hell no.
One giant *YAWN* from me for the same old, same old bitching about people who simply want some food they like, and might I tell you that when I lived in NYC I heard plenty of southerners complain (the forum won't let me say female dog) about lack of grits and good barbecue. Just adjust, dude, don't get yourself so worked up, sheesh.
While I agree that Northerners should not try to change the traditional Southern ways, there are plenty of things that we can add to make the area more diverse.
What I do find disturbing is the continual use of the term Yankee. Should all northerners refer to all southerners as Rednecks or Hillbillies?

Yes and believe me, I want to eat both Southern AND Northern food! I will do my part for the cause!!!! Now where are the biscuits. I only eat veggie dogs.

I gotta tell ya... a good country ham biscuit sounds great right now...
I'm partial to The Dog House hotdogs if I'm in the Durham area. Also there's vendor cart on Hillsborough St. in Raleigh across from NCSU called Hungry Hank's. He sells a very good kosher hotdog, and you want find a cleaner hotdog stand anywhere. His stand is in front of the Wachovia Bank..Mon-Thurs I believe.
