Long ago I attempted making hotdogs, not worth the time and effort.
Hot dogs need to be smoked, not worth it for just a few. There's a
huge selection of good hotdogs one can buy at most any supermarket. I
like Sabrett all beef, especially when in a natural casing, hard to
find and expensive. The worst hotdog has to be Hebrew National. There
were some much better brands of kosher hotdogs; Shofar was one but
they are no more. There aren't many commercially made kosher hotdogs
anymore, there's no longer a big enough market to keep all the brands
afloat. Jews who keep strictly kosher buy hotdogs from their kosher
butcher as most kosher butcher shops make their own... and Jews who
keep strictly kosher won't buy Hebrew National because in markets they
are not kept apart from non-kosher meats. . .there does exist mystery
meat kosher too.

I'm not a big hotdog eater, when I indulge Sabrett works for me. There
was once uncountable kosher delis in the large cities but no more, in
all of NYC one would be lucky to find a half dozen today. There are
also a handful of kosher-style delis... Katz's Deli in NYC is
kosher-style. Most all real kosher delis were shut down by the health
department, Appys too, their 5,000 year old preparation prossesses
can't pass modern health codes.
