I love a good hot dog. In Toronto we call them "Street Meet" and if you ask anyone who frequents the downtown core, they'll tell you their favourite vendor. Mine is at the SW corner of Gerrard. E. and Yonge. He's got lots of toppings and beverages and he has high turnover so the meat isn't dried out from overgrilling.

At the risk of starting a flame (grilled) war, on my trip to Manhattan I was disappointed by the street vendor dogs. They tasted fine, but are so small. Weenie even. I never did make it to Papaya dogs though.

I'm curious about the Chicago dog. I've heard that Chicagoans are Mustard purists and Ketchup is striclty verboten. Interesting.

Besides the long term health ramifications, an immediate major negative is the deep bellied hot dog burps that come later on.
