All three are excellent and highly recommended.īest's Kosher Beef Frankfurters are our #1 choice. Our Conclusion: Top three winners in order of preference - Best's Kosher Beef Frankfurters, Klement's Beef Chicago Brand Hot Dogs, and Oscar Mayer Deli Style Beef Franks. This gave us the opportunity to do a real-world test and pick our winners. A couple of weeks later we treated our co-workers to a true Chicago Style lunch featuring our top four dogs. Each brand was rated independently by all three of us on the following criteria: Taste, Texture, Appearance, Snap and Juiciness.Īfter pouring over the test data and compiling our test results, we chose the top four brands. Each brand was assigned a number for identification purposes and carefully kept track of while they were heated to perfection on a Weber charcoal grill. When the dogs were ready, we conducted our testing. The idea behind our testing was to make it as close to a blind taste-test as possible. For curiosity, the length of each dog was measured and recorded prior to heating. The following brands were included in our test: Vienna Beef Franks, Nathan's Famous Beef Franks, Klement's Beef Chicago Brand Hot Dogs, Hebrew National Beef Franks, Johnsonville Stadium Style Beef Franks, Best's Kosher Beef Frankfurters, Boar's Head Natural Casing Beef Frankfurters, Oscar Mayer Deli Style Beef Franks and Ball Park Bun Size Beef Franks. Matt also works with Kevin and Mitch as a Quality Assurance Engineer.

Before we tell you about our testing, we should take a moment to introduce Matt, the newest member of our testing team.

We went to a few local grocery stores and purchased nine popular hot dog brands to include in our taste test. Each of these brands should be readily available nation-wide. Please note that our ratings only indicate the suitability of a brand for use in creating a Chicago Dog. Our ratings are NOT an indicator of product quality. Our goal is to to help you to select a good brand dog and achieve a perfect blend of ingredients to create the ultimate Chicago Style Hot Dog. Since the choice of toppings is critical to the successful creation and enjoyment of a Chicago Dog, we decided to review a variety of toppings and choose the brands we think are the best. We also spent a lot of time taste-testing many of the popular hot dog brands available from your local grocery store.
