A good hotdog

[1FinickyOne]

I have had a few really god hotdogs in restaurants - but where can I buy them in a supermarket - what brand is best? I guess beef but pork ok too... 

[Sandboxer]

TGM - Thai German Meats, available in almost ever major sper/hypermarket. Stupid expensive and only about mid level quality IMO but still 100000x better than the disgusting versions made for the local palates.

In a restaurant, Dukes.

Gunther's G&M Sausage.

The best dogs I've had in CM.

 Widely available... he has a restaurant out past San Kampaeng.

I get mine at the Iron Bridge Rim Ping.

Buecher is good also

I find these quite good.  And easy to find at Tops and other supermarkets.

Agreed, but you will only find pork which is fine by me. Foodland carries TGM and their 5 incher is the best I have found. Not often but when that craving comes.

Takes 20 seconds in a shop. Look and choose.

Tried that once, not to be repeated.

[FolkGuitar]

If it's not 'Nathan's,' 'Hebrew National,' or 'Boar's Head' brand, it's not a good hot dog!  It's just a hot dog.  ????

Agree and everything in Dukes is great, the raw materials, prep., cooking, presentation and great taste.

Blind man.

[ChaiyaTH]

I know one of the best but due to the limitation of there only being one I can't sell it to you.

Just your opinion, not mine...

[dingdongrb]

'Good hotdog'......  Isn't that an oxymoron?

[transam]

I like a hot dog with lashings of onions and mustard, but I thoroughly dislike dogs that have that outer coating you chew through, feels like plastic....

 

I have tried many, with not much like, or I forget the name of the OK ones...????

[Trippy]

Villa market sells Oscar Mayer hot dogs.

Hotdogs....YUCK!!!

 

Give me a Bucher bratwurst prepared on a charcoal grille, and of course placed on a hoagie bun while smothered with onions, sauerkraut, and spicy Dijon mustard.

It is - but larger and spicy pork - and better.  Always preferred rindswurst when I lived in Frankfurt years back in the Binding Beer flip top days.

A brat, or bratwurst, is a type of German sausage that's made from pork and veal and seasoned with a robust spice blend. Hot dogs are usually made from beef, pork, or a combination. They're smaller than bratwurst and the seasonings are simpler.

Then you must think filet mignon is a slice of Thai buffalo.

Hot Dog is labelled; hot dog or frankfurter, anything else, is not a hotdog, in the western world.   Thais tend to call everything here a sausage.

 

To westerners, Brats, Kielbasa, Banger or Sausages are not Hotdogs.

 

Hotdogs have unique flavor and prep process, using ice water to form an emulsion, to get the texture correct.   Why it looks like rolled up bologna instead of chopped meat.

And has just about as much taste.

Brat dogs are a stand by in CM;  Fourth of July and Football. The easy option, when not sure about other 'dogs'. Rimping, for the Brats & a can of Hengstenberg Kraut. Bread from Nana bakery. Assorted condiments and let the guests DIY. BTW thanks to the above posters, I now have an idea of other dogs to buy, .
