Who Has the Best Hot Dogs in The Triangle? (Raleigh: transfer, pharmacy)

[PDXmom]

Thougth this was interesting:
"North Carolina hot dogs are served with chili and cole slaw, mustard, and onions. Most vendors use cole slaw, but some places use a tomato-based variation called BBQ slaw, which may be a western North Carolina variant. This style is called all the way. Carolina Packers, a small company in Johnston County produces locally-famous skinless red-hot dogs."

And here is a link (no pun intended ) to Carolina Packers:

It doesn't say what the red hot dogs are made out of. But it has a cute photo of a kid dressed up like a red hot dog.

BTW, anyone had hot dogs like Wikipedia described? I've never tried them that way but it sounds good.

At Smithfield's Bar-B-Q you can also get a kid's meal with (as my 3 year old daughter calls it) a "pink hot dog" - the great southern red one. Now that kid's meal also comes with a mini-Moon Pie. Now you're talkin'....Start the kids early!!

Jess my parents are from Maine, and we grew up eating those red hotdogs from Maine. We called them Jordans. We even ate them uncooked. Sounds gross, but I can still eat them that way.

Being from central NY, we always bring back a 3 lb. bag of Hoffmann's or Salen's hotdogs. O'Dwyers on Rogers Rd in Wake Forest sell the best to cover us until we replenish our stash from home.

Debbie I remember eating them uncooked! I think back on it now and get a little grossed out, but I used to love it!

:-) I still do love it when I go there. I'll be up sometime this summer. You know I'll have to get a Maine red hot dog.

Having worked food service jobs in my younger years, I quickly got used to tourists to Maine asking "What is wrong with those hot dogs?", "Oh no- we didn't want the sausage", and "Umm.. Are they lobster flavored or something?"

I can't eat any other hot dogs- The texture is too... puffy.

Hebrew Nation brats on the grill topped with some ketchup and authentic Stadium Mustard. I bought 3 bottles of Stadium Mustard last time I went up north.

I had the pleasure of working in a slaughterhouse over a summer in college. For two weeks I was on the hot dog production line. You really REALLY don't want to know how the mass-consumption hot dogs are made. I didn't eat any for maybe 10 years, and still limit it to baseball games and the HN's on the grill.
