May 3, 2023 · We tried seven brands of popular hot dogs, including Oscar Mayer, Hebrew National, and more, to see how they compared on texture and flavor.
- Food & Culture Editor
- Applegate Farms Uncured Beef Hot Dog. Sweet and smoky flavor. Light texture. Cons. The Applegate beef hot dog took our top spot for one reason: It's the dog every one of our tasters wanted at a cookout.
- Sabrett Frankfurters, Beef. Well seasoned. Nice snap. Cons. If you live in New York City, you know Sabrett. It's the hot dog hawked in carts across the five boroughs, all beneath an iconic blue-and-yellow Sabrett-branded umbrella.
- Hebrew National Beef Franks. Classic flavor. Cons. Hebrew National wins the best classic hot dog because "it tastes like a hot dog should taste," Becker said.
- Niman Ranch Fearless Uncured Beef & Pork Franks. Nice texture. Cons. Niman Ranch sells a few different beef-based hot dogs, but we like this beef-and-pork dog the best.

- Nathan’s Famous Beef Frankfurters. It’s smoky, it’s juicy and it has more flavor complexity than any other. Nathan’s was, by far, the best hot dog of the lot.
- 365 by Whole Foods Market Organic Uncured Beef Hot Dogs. If size matters, you’ll be grateful to know that Whole Foods’ 365 variety was the thickest and longest on this list.
- Dietz and Watson Originals Natural Uncured Beef Franks. I hated how these felt on the tongue — smooth and slippery with an almost metallic-like quality (as if you were licking a lamp post) — but the beef flavor really shone through thanks to the brand’s decision to cut back on the aforementioned sodium.
- Ball Park Beef Franks. These were very traditional, not super crispy and definitely a milder option. Like Oscar Mayer, they weren’t completely memorable, but I will say there was a nice tangy aftertaste that made them seem slightly artisanal.
