As a kid I thought Oscar Mayer hot dogs were horrible and dreadful, no real meat flavor, bland and not much fat. I’d say similar for Farmer John hot dogs (SoCal thing), except there was fat but the seasoning was horrible and the texture chunky. Same for Dodger Dogs made by Farmer John…and I’m a lifetime Dodgers fan (go evil empire). If you put either in front of me now, I’d refuse them. Those are the worse I’ve ever had because I had them as a kid and I assume they’re the same, or even worse.
Chicken and turkey hotdogs are generally bad, not enough fat and texture is odd, usually under seasoned. I’d say the same about not enough fat for some premium, grass fed beef hot dogs like Nieman Ranch….too dry. I think premium, healthy hot dogs often fall into this category. Hot dogs and most sausage need fat and decent seasoning, IMO. Hot dogs are generally not healthy….but that’s why they taste good….it’s the fat and salt.
