    ...that the "New England" style hot dog bun is not common outside of the northeast and that the rest of the country is using some sort of hoagie/sub roll.

     

    Is this right?  How can this be?  I feel like millions of people are missing out on the right way to eat a hot dog.

     


    From the Internet.

      Do what now?? Anything that's not a hot dog roll is an overwhelming amount of bread for a hot dog!

       

      I've also read that steak tips are not really a thing outside of this region. Further proof that the rest of the country has prollems and as such I can't ever move out of New England :P

        RIGHT?

         

        This is the RIGHT way to eat a hot dog, all toasty buttery goodness enveloping the hot dog:

        This is a New England hot dog roll, if you aren't familiar:

          We should start some kind of public awareness campaign. That just isn't right.

            We must.

                    Does the outside look the same as the inside? No crust?

                            That's just a hamburger bun, in hot dog shape.

                             

                            I had no idea there was an authentic Montreal hot dog!  See, I'm learning all sorts of things today.

                                Hot dog rolls (east coast) / buns (west coast) that I've used all my life didn't really vary from east to west coast and looked a bit like this. Although I admit I don't think I ever ate a hot dog in NE.

                                 

                                Hoagie rolls are much larger - would take about 4 standard hot dogs to fill one. And I've never seen true hoagie rolls outside the Philadelphia area. Closest I've seen is something like a baquette. You can fight over terminology since there *is* a difference.

                                 

                                And I'd like some Tastykake chocolate cupcakes for dessert and soft pretzels for a snack (preferably during a Philies game at Connie Mack Stadium. Not sure if that exists anymore.) And it's only been since I've been in Alaska that I figured out where the name "scrapple" came from. And then there's Taylor pork roll.
