One has not experienced true joy until they have nailed a tray of beautifully cooked-medium burgers.

Frankly, there's never a bad time for a hot dog. And that means that you should keep a few packs in stock that can be thrown on the grates or roasted around a campfire at a moment's notice. Even if you don't have a way to cook up a few franks outdoors, you can still enjoy a charred brat by using your oven's broiler or air fryer, as long as you monitor the hot dog's progress carefully.

A classic hot dog on a steamed bun might be the most common way to enjoy a hot dog but there are plenty of styles, each with its own flavor and spin. Some are designed with flavor in mind, adding a sweet note to the salty hot dog and spicy toppings. Others have to be big enough to hold mounds of toppings included in the particular hot dog style.
