I can't tell you how sad I am that my favorite hot dogs (Nathan's) have corn and wheat gluten in them!!!! Now that it's sum-sum-summertime and I want to fire up the grill, what do I do for hot dogs?!

Anybody have a favorite gf hotdog they'd be willing to pimp out here?

Here are some links to previous hot dog threads. The last dogs I had in recent memory were Hebrew National, and they were good.

Exclamation points liek woah

I use Hebrew National hot dogs. Their parent company is ConAgra, which is GF-friendly.

I cannot refrain from saying: hot dogs are nasty. I used to eat them, willingly. When I went GF, the hot dogs went too.

hah! I hated them until I tasted the Nathan's. Then, I was addicted!! (Perhaps it was the gluten?! Shocked

)

Now, to get to work on the buns....hmm... any suggestions on the buns?

Nathan's used to be the only hot dogs I would eat, and that only rarely. I don't eat any now.

Boar's Head hot dogs are great and gluten free! You can try Ener-g hot dog buns, but they don't hold together very well.

I believe most people make their own hot dog buns. You can take your favorite bread mix and pipe it out into a bun shape.

I'd stay away from Ener G buns. They probably taste like packing peanuts.

I never was a big fan of hotdogs to begin with. Since going gluten-free, I've probably eaten.... 2-3 hotdogs in the course of 2.5 years. Half of it has to do with the lack of buns. Anyone have a nice bun recipe?

I wonder if the bread wraps would work?

I eat a local brand Zwiegel's or a Wegmans brand, (a local supermarket mostly upstate NY but also a few stores from NYC down to Virginia area) that are GF and a toasted Glutino bagel for a bun.

Buffalo hotdogs, as mentioned in the old thread, are yummy!
Hotdogs were one of the first foods I looked up since ds's favorite food had "wheat gluten" as the second ingredient.
From their website, Bar-S is gluten-free and Oscar Meyer also has some. OM is a Kraft company and they are diligent about gluten labelling aren't they?
SOme of the chicken sausages have milk or cheese in them so I can't have them... yet. Sad

We will try the Hebrew Nat'l's if we can find them.
My son actually _likes_ the packing peanut hot dog buns from Ener-G. Shocked

There have to be some better ones out there that I can use when I'm not baking. We have a regional bakery called "The Twisted Bakery" that makes GF breads so I'll see if they have some edible hd buns.

We LOVE Hebrew Nationals. There is one that mrsppmrxky gets that is different, but I cannot remember the name. They were free of sulfites, salyclates (SP?) and corn... you would have to ask her which one it was. I remember seeing it, but the name didn't stick Embarassed

I don't eat mine with a bun anymore. I just slice it up like you would for a toddler and eat it with ketchup, mayo, mustard and a side of chips. Laughing
