What is your fave way to eat or cook a hot dog? Traditionally boiled, Fried, microwave, etc?

Today my roommate, my 2 friends, my cousin and I would like to make some hot dogs but we're having a silly argument over what technique is best because each one of us have our own way of making them.



This brings me to ask a question to my fellow hot dog lovers.

What type of hot dog is the best tasting, and which cooking style will produce the BEST flavor. Provided you have a good quality hot dog that is.



So, how do you like your hot dog?

A) Boiled in water (old school)



B) Ripper aka Deep frying in oil (New Jersey Style)



C) Steamed on a poppy bun(Chicago style)



D) Roasted over an open flame with a skewer stick (';Campfire/Smores style'; )



E) Charcoal Grilled on an outdoor BBQ pit (Smoked)



F) On a portable concession type roller (Stadium style)



G) Split open and Pan Fried on lightly greased skillet



H) Cooked in a Microwave until it burst



I) Non-fire Grill-Fried (George Foreman grill or Panni Grill)



J) Mexi-Cali style!!! Crunchy bacon wrapped dog steam fried in onions and peppers. If you live in Southern California then you know what i'm talking about! LOL!!!!!



So, which style (s) do you prefer? Which taste the best to you?



Also, just curious...which is your least fave.



Thanks All

I prefer mine Baked in the toaster oven - preheated 350掳F approx 3-5 min
I like my dogs grilled or boiled with Sauteed onions on top.
(E) my favorite is to burn the little dog on the outside but nice and tender inside w/only ketchup. I'm very boring.
