Me, either. First off, they disagree with me something fierce. Second off, I know what they put in them.

Chicago is famous for pepper seed buns. Why do hot dogs bought outside the home taste better than dogs made at home? I butter my buns then lay them on a hot skillet to brown them golden brown. Hot dog trucks have sadly fallen by the wayside. We used to have one called "Wee Willie's Weenie Wagon".

After reading this thread, the wife and I went up,to Del’s Tasty Freeze and had hot dogs for lunch. Of course as long as we were there, two small hot fudge sundaes found their way in our car...

A bun, to me, is readily identifiable as such, by its crust that covers a majority of its outer surface. Folded bread lacks that wide crusted surface. Everyone has their own take on what a bun is. Cool.
Most dictionaries define "bun" as a rounded roll. Folded bread is certainly not that, but who cares, right?

I believe you mean "poppy seed buns." Born and raised in Chicago, drove a cab for four years, stopped at scores of hot dog stands. Never heard of a pepper seed bun.
Willie's Wee Nee Wagon was on Crawford, just south of 159th. Some ex drug guy bought it and changed the name, I believe.
You seem to like coming on as a local of this or that city, but you usually seem to fall a bit short in actual native knowledge of a given locale. Where did you actually grow up? What cities have you actually lived in?

The New England style buns are the ones used for lobster rolls!
I buy Nathan's hot dogs maybe once a year.

There's a little place in Bridgton, Maine, about 40 miles from the coast, and they have fresh lobster rolls similar to your pic using the top cut buns. We stop there once in awhile and they are delicious.The New England style buns are the ones used for lobster rolls!

I tried these vegan Frankenfurters from Aldi and they were pretty good.
The texture is spot on but they have a smoky taste that is a little different from most conventional hot dogs.
Yes, I saw them online at Aldi's but was hesitant to get them-didn't know if they'd be good. Thanks for the heads up-will try.

Comparatively speaking. Maybe call it the baked part. Top and bottom. For want of a better word.
Our deli makes individual buns. They are slightly baked. I pick the dark ones. They don't come pre cut.

How could you ever eat a coney dog with that delicious sauce without using the side cut?
Or a chili dog. Cutting the top instead of the side is a sacrilege.

That's because he only moved here.
Who really cares how anyone cuts a hotdog bun? C'mon.
When I lived in Adelaide, it wasn't unusual to see a bbq set up in the parking lot with "hot dogs" cooking. I think they were sausages (snags), not weiners. There was always a loaf of white bread - no hot dog buns, to wrap them in. Also, no mustard or relish. Just sauce (ketchup).
