last friday. it was delicious. seconds after i opened this thread my boss and her best friend/co-boss sent me a text message to tell me they were eating corndogs at the rangers game.
Seriously wtf is a corndog? Is it like a shit hotdog or what?
Hot dog on a stick, dipped in cornmeal batter and deep-fried. Usually just tossed in the fryer from frozen, which is just ok. Preferable is a place that hand-dips their corn dogs in freshly made batter, provided that they've mastered it. If they have not mastered it, this is not preferable, as the batter could be too thin or not sufficiently adherent to the dog.
There is a place that's mastered the hand-dipped corn dogs on Dempster in Evanston, IL, right next to Second Hand Tunes. At least they were hand-dipping corndogs last time I was there -- about 2 years ago. The place name has a pun with wiener for winner -- like Weiner and Still Champion or something like that.
Chicago is tops for hot dogs....corn dogs too. JRoot
PS Stay away from mini corn dogs (no stick). Those are sick.
I had a hotlink corndog for the first time a couple of months ago..it was "ight"! I think they had some non casing hotlink, cause I was trying to figure out how they got the batter to stick, anyways.

these days i can count exactly TWO places that serve 'em, and one of them is only open during the summer
In college I had a room mate fresh of the farm who would eat the breakfast version daily. Blueberry pancake wrapped around a breakfast sausage.
about 6 months ago.
peace, stein. . .
these dudes i know have a corndog rating system, for documenting how much fun they had snowboarding that day...
it's pretty fun:

I don't really partake. I believe they're all corndogg'd out, too.
