With summer finally on the horizon, visions of hot dogs and hamburgers tend to dance in my head. I agree with their premise that a hot dog should be juicy, firm and have some snap. And I\u2019m personally always looking for something to compare with the deliciousness of that hot dog from that vendor one time in downtown Toronto at 2 a.m. after a night of dancing. <\/p>\n<p>I have to say I was a little let-down by the comparison though. While they rate the best of those available across the U.S. and give two runner-ups, there wasn\u2019t any advice on what to avoid. Maybe that wouldn\u2019t be kosher on a site that probably relies on ad revenue from numerous food conglomerates, but it seems to me the old idea of taking criticism to make a product better loses out here too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was super-excited when I saw an article called \u201cTaste Test: All-Beef Hot Dogs\u201d on one of my favourite food sites.
