Consumer Reports tests cars, toys, electronics and hot dogs. They recently did a taste test of over 620 varieties of hot dogs. They even tried some poultry, soy and “healthier” dogs. Soy hot dog….I don’t see the point in that one. It seemed those not only usually missed the mark on the taste test, but once you took a closer look, they were not really healthier:
If you thought you were doing the right thing by selecting chicken or turkey franks or uncured dogs with no added nitrates, think again. Our tests found they did not all deserve a health halo. While three of the four regular poultry dogs we rated had 30 to 80 fewer calories than the average of beef and mixed meat dogs, the other poultry frank had as many calories as beef. And most had plenty of fat and sodium. While the three uncured franks might boast of “no added nitrates,” our testing found that Applegate Farms, Coleman Natural, and Whole Ranch contained nitrates and nitrites at levels comparable to many of the cured models.
The vegetarian crowd will find it harder to fill their buns. Our tasters screened four popular soy dogs to see whether there were at least two that could be included in a separate taste test. But the dogs were so off the mark (“they seemed to just mimic real food,” said one tester) that even a vegetarian might find them hard to swallow. Morning Star Farms Veggie Dogs was the best of the lot, but the kindest words our testers could find for them was that if you smother them with your favorite condiments, they might be OK.
The top 5 Hot Dogs were : Hebrew National, Nathan’s, Boar’s Head, Hebrew National-Reduced Fat and Boar’s Head-Lite.

I just finished eating 2 Hebrew National hot Dogs for the very first time. My taste buds were so impressed that I looked up their website http://www.hebrewnational.com and visiting this this website and leaving this favorable comment. I savored each bite. I will buy them again. They tasted great!!
I tried Hebrew National beef franks for the first time this week and would not eat them again. Too salty and didn’t even taste like meat. I couldn’t even finish one … I threw the rest of the package away. I realize that taste is an individual thing so if you love them … enjoy!
I enjoy hebrew national with slice of bacon. Is good and koscher!!!

I think Grey’s Papaya in NY,NY uses them, although I’m not sure. But I do know that they are great at home on the grill! Nice meaty taste. Not mealy like some. (you know who I’m talking about! Starts with an O.) Try Hebrew National, You’ll love them!…Plain!
