- I tried beef hot dogs from Nathan's, Sabrett, Applegate, and Ball Park.
- Ball Park had the thickest frank, but I thought Applegate's organic hot dogs packed the most flavor.
- I didn't think Sabrett's less-than-flavorful hot dogs warranted their higher price tag.
Ahead of the Fourth of July, I decided to try four different kinds of hot dogs to see which one I would choose for my own cookout.
