I like bacon cheeseburgers with lettuce/tomato. Sometimes a very thin slice of onion. Since I am eating low carb I just eat the burger and don't use a bun.

Oh gosh...it’s been so long, I can’t remember the last time I had a hot dog but my favorite was/is Hebrew National. All I need is a little deli mustard to be happy but I really enjoy having a little sauerkraut on them too. I’ve never had Nathan’s, though a lot of my friends say they’re the best too. If available, I love having chips and cold Bushes baked beans with it.

As for my burgers...my absolute favorite is homemade, stuffed with a slice of swiss or chedder cheese and cooked with onions add a Velasc kosher pickle, French’s Ketchup and homemade secret sauce on a bun and I’m in heaven. :c)

Being stuck at work at this time of night doesn’t sound fun at all, add a carb craving and well, that really sucks. Carb cravings can be the worst.

I also like Hebrew national. Same toppings. Nathan's and Hebrew national taste very similar to one another. The Nathan's hot dogs are usually bigger though.

I forgot to mention that once I put potato salad on top of the hot dog, along with my other toppings,and it was DIVINE!!!!! It has to be my homemade potato salad though. The ones I buy from the grocery store or local restaurants are so sweet it ridiculous. Must be a southern thing. Mine only has potatoes,mayo,green onions,fresh dill and salt and pepper,and sometimes hard boiled eggs. No sweet relish,sugar,or whatever it is that makes potato salad sweet. Ick.

Man, I want carbs right now. And I've been doing so well. I have no idea why I was hit with such a strong craving all of a sudden. I'm off work in about 10 minutes, and I hope I don't go home and binge.

Secret sauce??? I'm intrigued......

All sorts of ways for both hot dogs and burgers. Buns must be toasted. I will not eat a burger or dog on a cold bun.

Hotdogs (have to be all beef and currently my favorite is Hoffy's)

Yellow mustard, relish,tomato,red onions cheddar

Brown mustard and dill pickle strips

Famous Dave's Signature Spicy Relish, mustard, cheese

Chili, cheese, onions and tomato

Hot dogs in kraut that has been sauteed with a little brown sugar (no bun)

Burgers

Bison, sometimes with bacon, pepper jack,red relish, leaf lettuce, tomato and 1000 island

Beef with teriyaki sauce, grilled pineapple, bacon or not, red onion

Beef with 1000 island, American cheese and a fried over medium egg.

Bacon, avocado, cheese and 1000 island or BBQ sauce

A plain butter burger on a toasted bun. That's a burger fried in real butter placed on a well toasted bun slathered on both sides with more butter. That's an infrequent indulgence.

Patty melts

Open faced on toasted bun smothered in chili, cheese and chopped red onions

A good sirloin burger on a buttered toasted french roll. Done right just need a little yellow mustard.

Have a flavorful, juicy burger with all of the trimmings.....on a bed of mixed greens with a splash of vinaigrette. Don't forget the cheese, but ditch the bun and other crap. Even a fast food place will fix a low carb burger on a bed of iceberg.

Don't let yourself get hungry. Pack little snack bags of nuts, cheese sticks, hard boiled eggs, mini egg muffins, etc. You need to eat past the hunger pangs and cravings.

That being said, I love a grilled burger, topped with onions and mushrooms sauteed in butter, mayo and melted Swiss. Sliced tomatoes on the side. No toasted bun needed.

Start with a Nathan brand hot dog and a soft, fresh, warm bun.

Add diced onion, chopped tomatoes, diced jalapeno, dash of salt and course ground black pepper to a bowl and mix well.

Add one line of your favorite mustard to bun, insert hot dog, dress with the mixed toppings and top with creamy avocado.

Beer: Pacifico

I guess I need to try Nathan's. I am not a big hot dog fan, but my husband loves them. I get Ballpark all beef. I like ketchup, onion & cheddar cheese on mine. My husband eats everything on it, mustard, ketchup, onions, cheese, tomato & sauerkraut. On a burger I like ketchup, sautéed onion, & cheese-Swiss, cheddar or American. Husband eats everything on his, mayo, mustard, ketchup, onion, lettuce, cheese & bacon. If we have mushrooms, we like them sautéed, too.

Whoa! That’s a lot of hot dog and potatoe salad knowlege you have there!

Secret Sauce is just home made 1,000 island sauce. When I was a kid my mother would make it for us so we could have “McDonald’s” at home and I’ve just kept the tradition and name. You know, mayo, ketchup a little mustard and relish (sweet or dill). Home made is soooooo much better than McD’s. It’s good on salad’s too.

Not a hotdog person unless I don't have a choice. Then I add mustard and sour kraut if they have it.

I like my burger with a lot of things. I prefer it grilled. I like it with lettuce, tomato pickle and onion.

No need to give up hamburgers if you are craving them. Give up the bun. I sometimes make 'hamburger salad'. I cut my grilled burger into pieces and put it in a bowl of lettuce and dice some onion, pickles and tomato. For the dressing, I add a little mustard. It fills the craving without the bread carbs. I eat all the veggies I want even if the tomato is one of the higher glycemic fruit/veggies.

I use either Hebrew National or Ball Park all-beef hot dogs. Served with chili (the Walmart brand of hot dog chili is the best) and chopped red onions. I wrap the buns in paper towels and nuke them for a few seconds to get them hot.

I love hamburgers. Either on the grill or cooked in a skillet--almost well done. Warm the buns in the microwave. Toppings are lettuce, tomato, red onion slice, dill pickles and mustard.

Side dishes are either Arby's frozen curly fries, onion rings, or baked beans.

Mustard. Mustard. Mustard.

I very seldom eat a hot dog, but when I do, I want chili, onions and cheese on it. No mustard.

I eat hamburgers often, but usually at home. HEB, a grocery chain, has grilled hamburgers....I think there are 8 to a bag, and I keep them on hand and heat them in the microwave for about a minute and a half. They are very juicy, if you don't dry them out. I keep buns in the freezer, thaw in microwave and toast in the toaster oven. I want mustard on the lower bun, and pickles....only Claussen dills allowed, onion...usually purple, lettuce, tomato, and salt. No cheese. I can eat a cheeseburger, but I prefer without. I often have one for breakfast, or lunch.

Now. If you want to talk potato salad....I also can't stand sweet. I don't like the way most people make it, so I usually only eat it if I made it. I for sure wouldn't eat that sold in deli department of the grocery store. I usually use russet potatoes because that is what I often have on hand, but I will use red or Yukon gold....doesn't matter to me. Eggs. Celery. Onion....purple or green...but I would use whatever I have on hand, which is usually purple. Bell pepper...if I have it. Pickles.....only Claussen dills. Green olives. Stuffed or not. Bacon. Make a dressing of mayonnaise and enough mustard to color it about like the boiled egg yolks. Thin with Claussen pickle juice, and add celery seed for good measure. Pour on potato salad and toss and sprinkle with some Tony Chachere's. Now that is potato salad. I don't use Bacos but I will use a package of the Hormel bacon pieces sold on the condiment aisle in the supermarket.

Marilyn, my dh loves those frozen burgers too. I would have never have bought them if HEB had not have demo'd them. They are tasty. He heats them on the stove or the George Foreman grill.

I am a hotdog purist :-) Just mustard and not that nasty neon yellow stuff.....must be dijon or a spicy mustard. And I prefer those you can get at Costco or at the ballparks....with a casing that crunches when you bite into it!

I also don't care much for home cooked burgers. They never taste as good to me as those one can purchase at a good burger joint. And since burgers are not something one should indulge in that often, I save my burger experiences for those places :-) And they are not fast food places......just restaurants that focus on great burgers with a varieties of toppings and their accompaniments. There are several of these in my area and I typically have a favorite at each place........my current favorite is one that has blue cheese, onion straws and baby spinach topping the burger with tomato and mayo.

There is also a local fast food chain that is kind of a regional landmark - been around almost 70 years - and has a limited menu of just a couple of different burgers, fries and shakes. Even tho a fast food place, their burgers are legendary and when I am in the area, I can't resist :-) I try to time my visits to that area to coincide with lunchtime!!

Two or three times a year, I might get a chili dog from Sheetz, and that's enough hot dog for me. I like hamburgers of all sorts. One of the more unusual combinations on my burger is cream cheese and jalapeno jelly.

We usually have Costco hotdogs in the freezer. Must be broiled or grilled until they have a nice, black, char. My buns are steamed, husband's toasted. Toppings depend on what I am hungry for: Dijon, ketchup, relish; Dijon, sauerkraut; chili, cheddar, onions. Sides are cold pork n beans and potato or macaroni salad. Only my own. I don't like those store bought salads that DH brings home, with fried chicken, if I don't feel like cooking.

Burgers, broiled or grilled to medium rare. Thick sliced cheddar or swiss cheese. Best Foods mayo on the bottom, untoasted, bun. Then: lettuce, burger, ketchup, diced onion, tomato, dill pickle chips, top bun with Dijon. Sometimes I heat a can, undiluted, of Cream of Mushroom soup and put a spoonful on each bite as I am eating. Also used to dip fries or stator tots in.

Dam! Now I want a burger, and I have everything prepped for Chicken Teriyaki stir fry. LOL

On my hot dog I like lots of mustard and dill pickle relish, sometimes I will split the hot dog and add real cheddar down middle so it melts. On my hamburg if I am making it for myself which I rarely seldom seem to think of doing I like to slice a piece of real cheddar so that it melts on the burger while it finishes cooking, lots of mustard on the bun, sliced Spanish onion, slice of dill pickle and bacon if I have any cooked. I also like the hot dog bun and hamburger bun to be buttered. There is a fast food hamburger place here called Harveys and I may get there once or twice a year but I love their burger with double mustard and double dill pickles and dill pickles on the side. Now I want a hamburger

Hotdogs - mustard and sweet pickle relish and maybe a tiny bit of finely chopped onion. Do NOT get ketchup anywhere near my dog, please! I like my dogs grilled or fried in a cast iron pan. Steamed or boiled just don't cut it for me.

I also like chili dogs with chili, cheddar cheese and maybe a tiny bit of finely chopped onion.

Burgers - mustard, sweet pickle relish, tomato and chopped lettuce. Hold the pickles and onions; the pickles get warm and I've never liked hot pickles. As far as onions go, I seem to be developing an aversion to raw onions as I get older. If I'm really going to indulge, a slice to pepper jack cheese and some crisp bacon.

A perfect hotdog or burger also has toasted buns.

Sides - Coleslaw or potato salad with the dog. French fries with the burger.

I'm a slaw dog gal. I like a tiny bit of spicy mustard with a generous helping of creamy coleslaw on top.

I like the hot dogs the street vendors sell or maybe it's just the way they're cooked. Then either chili with mustard on top or catchup & mustard.

I prefer a few slices of bacon on my hamburger, then a kaiser bun & all the traditional stuff on top. I like my onion fried in the bacon grease, then heaped onto the burger. No processed cheese, no fries or tots, no soda. Red Robin Restaurant makes a pretty good burger.

I like my hot dogs with mustard and chopped sweet onion. No chili dogs for me. I also eat them with ketchup and mustard and relish and maybe cheese. I like them a lot of ways. Same with hamburgers, grilled are good with a slice of sweet onion and a slab of a home grown tomato on it. I like other things too on them pickles for one. If I am going to fix something with my meat I would probably go for potato salad or coleslaw and baked beans.

The "original" Red Robin had even better burgers!! This was a University of Washington student hangout and the food was good, plentiful and cheap. And the beer flowed!! This was a college tavern that served food long before it was a chain restaurant. I dated the bouncer there for awhile :-) Sadly, I think it deteriorated in both service and food quality once it was acquired and franchised in the late 70's. The prices certainly went up!!

Store bought ground beef isnt’ what it used to be, but a year or so ago, I gave the organic beef at Costco a try and flavor wise it’s the best! And just like the beef from the old days. I hate eating out and It’s pricey but so worth it.

Dang, this makes me want to go get some Nathan's hot dogs and have a Weiner roast with some good ole tator salad....yum...but it is cold and misting so guess I will have to wait!

Woke up starving, so I pulled some Nathan's dogs out of the freezer. Since I'm low carbing,I'll just cut them up and eat them with no buns, but I'm still gonna dip em in cheez whiz and mustard. Making my loaded cauliflower casserole with it as a sad,but acceptable substitute for a loaded potato. Mmmmm

Forgot to mention Mexican street dogs. Bacon wrapped topped with grilled onion, salsa, guacamole, peppers.

Don't forget the horseradish sauce.

For both hot dogs and hamburgers, I butter the bun first. I like mustard, ketchup fine diced onion and sliced dill pickles on my hotdogs. On my burger, Top bun: mayo and mustard, lettuce and tomato. Bottom bun: red hamburger relish (they don't make it anymore!!!!!!!!!!!), ketchup, the meat patty with melted cheese on top, topped with fine diced onions and sliced dill pickles.

amylou: for a good low carb hotdog: slice the hotdog down the side (not all the way) stuff it with cheddar cheese then wrap bacon around it and bake in the oven. I bought a bunch of the longer wieners from Costco yesterday to make these again. Back to Keto so going bunless again.

hot dogs: applegate uncured. fry on cast iron pan, add cheese and TJ's aioli garlic mustard sauce. its awesome!! i am also low carb so usually pair with Joseph's lavash or pita. i eat 2 hot dogs. usually have a salad with it.

Burgers: bubba burgers, turkey burgers or salmon burgers. always have with sautéed mushrooms, cheese-mozzarella or american, low-sugar ketchup, no buns. but usually have over a salad or spaghetti squash.

Red hamburger relish! Yes!!!! My favorite burger place has it. They have a complete condiment bar, red relish included. I can find Del Monte Hamburger relish around here but the red relish is not sold in any groceries I know of.
