Not a big fan but when I do it is with my hands.While I was taking a break on my way home today there was an older gentleman sitting in front of me eating his hot dog with a knife and fork.Now keep in mind I have lived a sheltered life,and I have never seen this before. I almost laughed out loud because all I could think of was the Seinfeld episode when Mr.Wick ate his Snickers bar with a knife and fork and started a new trend. That's all.:)

I eat chilli dogs with a knife and fork. Regular ol Chicago dogs are finger food. At a Cubs game, I like to have a dog in my right hand while clutching a large Old Style in the left, and squeezing gently a bag of chips between my knees.:thumbsup:

Typically with standard length hot dogs in a bun, with hands. No bun, fork. Just had a foot long half pounder in a bun that was more like French bread. With chili, cheese and onion. Used a knife and fork on that one, couldn't finish it.

For a true dog, I like a bun. For a Polish or brat, I often like no bun.

It cannot be an all out chili dog if you can eat it with your hands..........unless all of your clothes are a bib. Not worth eating if it is not dripping from every direction. Much like a sale barn hamburger.

Unless I have cooked it on a stick over an open fire, I try not to eat those things.:noway:

You do know what they put in those things.:)

Yes. Wonderful seasoned dead animal. Its not *******s and lips...you can let your 5th grade children continue to believe that if you wish. Dogs, like all meat, can be had crap and cheap or good and tasty. Just like packaged ground beef for burgers - I dont do it. I have meat ground, good meat, and make the burgers.

I love me some good hot dogs - GOOD hot dogs and sausages are a staple of mine. I do not use forks or silverware with hot dogs but I also prefer mine pretty basic and dont do chili on my hot dogs or burgers. Might deep fry one wrapped in bacon and throw that dude on a big bun.....ahhhh....heaven. My dogs, burgers and chili stand alone or if I do plop chili on something its either fries or the beloved late night frito chili boat.

Im hungry now...

All the good stuff?

I'll take mine with mustard, meat sauce, diced onions(raw), and celery salt.

Around here, they cut them short so make sure you order "three all the way" :D

Of course, back in my high school days, it was six or eight all the way.

Wow, the innuendos in this thread are aplenty. Read through this thread with that in mind for a really good chuckle.

You don't eat hot dogs with a fork and knife. That is like trying to pick up a turd by the clean end. The same thing as thinking it is okay to talk with your mouth full as long as you have your hand in front of your face.

Eat a hot dog with your hands and make a mess, OR DON'T EAT IT!!

"dry" hot dogs with only ketchup and mustard are considered a quicky snack and are finger food. A meal hot dog, with multiple weenies, on a poorboy bun, with real cheese (not the sauce crap in a can) chilli, spicy mustard, onions, jalepenos and sourkraut, is fork and knife food. If it's made right, theres no way you aren't wearing some of it.

Hiway Star, not sure how or why you're picking up turds, but hopefully it's not before you eat that hotdog!

What's in it? Who cares, pig lips have got to be better than canned oysters, stinky a$$ sardines, or vienna sausages. What is that stuff in those vienna sausage cans anyhow? Cosmoline?

Yep cheese coneys or bust loaded with cheese, chili, onions, and mustard.

I eat with my hands, but my wife is a knife and fork kind of person. Sometimes she'll eat a hot dog with no bun with a knife and fork or pizza with a knife and fork. I will never understand......

Hot dogs always by hand.

While at a local casino one day, I am eating at the restaurant, and this nice looking younger gal is sitting accross from me at another table. She orders a Chef salad. I glance over at her occasionally, (as there was really nothing else to look at anyway;)), and I cannot help but notice that she is eating the salad.........using her index finger and thumb. She literally ate the entire salad using her index finger and thumb. Just picking at it. Moving it around to pick out certain things. She finished that entire salad and never touched her utensils.
One of the strangest things I ever witnessed.

When I get an apple fritter from the donut shop, I microwave it and put butter on it and eat it with a fork on a plate. Didn't use to, but find it much easier now.

I tried a "custom made" all beef hot dog at the local BBQ joint last week,, I thought it was gonna be the best ever.
One bite into it and the inside was like brisket with a hot dog kinda taste,, looked unusual,, so I kept on eating it and on about the 3rd bite (I was getting ready to trash it) and I bit down on a "hard thing" and almost tossed my cookies.
So I recomposed and took another bite and bit down on another "hard thing",, that was it ! The dog liked it.
All this was done by hand no forks or knives.

Down here in So. AZ ....Sonoran Hotdogs are the best period!!! :beers:
They did an episode on Man Vs. Food at local hotdog joint "El Guero Canelo's" they are the best in town. I've craving some right now as a matter of fact. There is a stand on Wednesdays not far from work that has the sonoran hotdogs for a buck a piece.....great deal!
