I tried beef hot dogs from Nathan's, Sabrett, Applegate, and Ball Park.
Ball Park had the thickest frank, but I thought Applegate's organic hot dogs packed the most flavor.
I didn't think Sabrett's less-than-flavorful hot dogs warranted their higher price tag.
The months between Memorial Day and Labor Day are recognized as "hot dog season" by the sausage industry.
According to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, Americans consume roughly 7 billion hot dogs during this time and produce roughly $614 million in hot-dog sales.
