Kwinters hot dogs relaunched their brand here in Canada recently. They are all beef hot dogs and heavyweights, 90 grams each, 5 to a pack.
They are good. Nice snap.
I don’t know that I will buy them too often. We are used to smaller hot dogs, more ordinary hot dogs. LOL.

I have enjoyed more than a couple pretzel dogs at La Guardia. LOL

And the best of these is (should be? can be?) the Sonoran but I’ve only had one good one and the next time I went to try another, the recipe had changed or the guy behind the counter had no idea what he was doing, or both. It’s no longer on the menu. Haven’t found another one locally but haven’t looked in years.
At home my hot dogs are very simple - 100% depending on the quality of the wiener, plus another 50% depending on the bun and the other 50% depending on the mustard and I don’t recall trying to make a Sonoran at home.
But on a bolillo??? The one I had was on a New England style split top bun, toasted. Kind of hard to get all the ingredients in there. Will have to look around online again.
Re: the chart - Choripan is a term used in several countries for a sausage on a bun concoction and the chorizo is usually something fatter and more complex than a wiener, often medium grind meat, so I don’t consider them hotdogs. The Argentine versions I have sampled were on a baguette, as I recall, and the sausage disappointing.
Considered the National Sandwich of Argentina, according to my blog post of 15 years ago; according to me, I really liked this one
Colombian chorizos are usually excellent - most places I’ve had them claim to make their own in-house. Anyone ever had a hotdog on an arepa? Or maybe 2 arepas?
ETA: the sandwich pictured does not qualify as a hotdog to me, but I guess to each his own.

Haven’t been to a TJ’s in about 3 years but have been thinking of making a trek to one, rather than waiting for a new TJ’s closer to me that isn’t due to open until next year but I’ll look for that. Thanks. Standard pretzel buns are too hard for a hot dog, IMO.

The regular at a cart at a gas station near me. The guy warned me it would take 9 minutes to prepare. More than one wiener, split, all beef, I think, Grilled onions, potato chips, at least 3 sauces.
Colombian hot dog. Kind of a mess, but the wieners were better than I expected.
For a picture of the Perro Supremo - Jamanez on Door Dash.
Plus another pic of the regular (scroll down).
I only have to get gas about once every 3 months these days and have’t been back to try the Supremo but am looking forward to it, if he’s open (which he usually isn’t).

I agree most Choripan are closed to Sausage in a Bun.
I want to try more Latin American and South American hot dogs in buns and sausages in buns.
I wish I tried a Sonoran Dog at a restaurant in the States. I have only made my own up here in Ontario.
