Agree. I'd even go as far as saying I'd choose a hot dog over a steak most days. A grilled Nathan's jumbo dog is in the running for my favorite food.

I threw away a “Denny dog” at the OM-Alabama game in 2015. Awful.
Any food out of Tuscaloosa is awful.

Mostly agree, especially Dreamland but Buffalo Phil’s has damned good chicken arms.
Agree, although good hot dogs are rare. These are our faves:
Zweigle's hot dogs from Rochester NY. Never had a better dog in my life.
Couldn't have said it better
I couldn't agree more. We have a Dirty Frank's here that my better half and I frequent and I thoroughly enjoy!
I need no convincing whatsoever on this. Completely agree.
Best on course hot dog for me was at one of the Branson Courses in the their snack shack. And they were free as well, I think.

Dreamland in Mobile significantly better than Tuscaloosa.
Truth.
Get the tomatoes off that thing and 10/10 would crush.
Costco dog with brown mustard and diced onions!
Now I want a hot dog.
Yes tomatoes are terrible.
Absolutely do not belong on a hot dog.

Hoffmans or Hebrew National.
Many will do though. Usually go all beef

The ones @War Eagle mentioned below are good and I often will go with a turkey dog. I add deli mustard and sourkraut so those flavors pretty much dominate anyway. I grew up on hotdogs so I eat them, but I don't crave them or seek them out, but won't turn it down if that's what's being served either.
These are surprisingly good. 45 calories, 6g protein per dog.
Chicago dogs rock. We just got a Portellos a few miles away, great because our only other genuine Chicago dog place recently closed, owners retired and the kids didn't want to work that hard....
Detroit Style Coney's, having been made here for over 100 years, have been perfected.

Rhode Islands appropriately diminutive New York System weiners are unique and delicious. Especially with that other RI specialty, coffee milk.

When it comes to making them at home, I always have either Kowalski or Dearborn brand natural casing dogs in the fridge or freezer. Grilling is preferred, nuked is OK out of the freezer in a pinch. Boiling is a sin.
Usually at home its mustard and onion, or with mustard, onion and a home made meat sauce resembling Flint sauce. (See Wiki link to Coneys) but I'll do kraut and mustard or a fake Chicago dog on occasion.
If anyone from the metro D area really wants to see a collection of excellently conceived and presented hot dogs, try Pheonix Coney Island, On M53 (Van Dyke) Between the Stellanis Assembly plant and Ford Powertrain. (Thats about 3 miles N of the GM Tech Center). I think they get more Big 3 vendors there than anything at lunch. LOL
