I wouldn’t recommend using Frank’s method. While the dogs will taste great, the fine and points on your license will make this method prohibitlively expensive. And if a tire blows out……..

To Mike,

Which type of Sabrett’s did you purchase? They have an extensive list of SKU items, though not all may be available off the shelf:

Pictures of their retail non-cocktail frankfurter packages can be found here:

In retail skinless 1 pound packages, they sell 5 5/8", 8 to a pound and 7 7/8", 8 to a pound. The 5 5/8" franks sold around here are not made in the same plant as most other Sabrett products; they bear the USDA plant number of the Stahl-Meyer plant in the Bronx.

If you are purchasing retail products, just about every type of frank sold by Nathan’s is also available from Sabrett. For the comparison to be valid, you have to compare same types, i.e. natural casing vs. natural casing.

In the end, personal preference will determine your favorite, as these brands are both New York/New Jersey Kosher-style.
