I told my wife about the beer/brats w/reduction sauce and she agreed we have to do that. And I told her we have to take pics.

just what is the actual different between hot dogs and brats, anyway?

60% less anus-meat?

99.9990% more better than Hot dogs !!

not according to the poll

Most of theses folks are vegans any way , trust a meat eater , brarts ROCK !!!!

I voted hot dogs. I'm not a big sausage fan, and brats have that tough skin that always squicks me.

squicks me

new term , explain !!

well. . . . usually I use it as a sex term, but since we are talking sausages . . .

kinks and squicks.

kinks--likes; turn ons
squicks--dislikes; turn offs

I'm with you guys. I was seriously considering opening a dog cart a few years ago and I did my homework. I like Johnsonville brats, especially beer brats.

As far as dogs go, Hebrew National is a good dog, but Best Kosher kicks their ass. My uncle Manny has a dog cart and he sells Sabretts. They're a pretty good beef dog with a slightly thicker skin that snaps when you bite into it and keeps the juice inside.

Brats require longer cooking periods because they are raw meat and dogs are processed and pre-cooked. Brats are normally grilled while dogs are grilled, boiled, or steamed.

Bear steamed dogs are fantastic. Beer brats are actually soaked in beer and onions before cooking.

Hebnats rock! Now that they make a %97 fat free dog, my wife can eat them on Weight Watchers (1 point per dog).

I do like the occasional chicken sausage from Trader Joes. I've never tried raw brats. I have cooked raw turkey sausage.

I used to eat Bests Kosher but haven't seen them around lately. If I remember correctly, they had a spicy beef sausage that was great (not a lot of prepared kosher spicy food out there).

thanks for clearing that up, Radar. that makes sense

:drool: I'm hungry for a hotdog already.
