The relish at Pollocky Johnny’s is a red relish. It has a little kick and it also has a more pronounced vegtable flavor than the green relish you normally see.

Yum..Polock Johnnys[:p][:p]

KOK/Kevin is right. Polock Johnny’s is as close as you’re going to get to a Balmer hot dog.

And I prefer the mustard on the roll before the bologna is placed inside. Relish, onions and sauerkraut are usually available.

I was going to smirk at this question (because I figured if there was a "Baltimore-style hotdog", it would be something somebody invented last week to compete with Chicago), but now that you describe that bologna thing, I actually think I do remember eating those at Attman’s in the mid 1960’s.

Smirk away, as the bologna wrapped hot dog is more of kosher-style deli thing than a Baltimore thing. As previously posted, Pollock Johnny’s (Lexington Market especially) is as good a "Baltimore hot dog (or sausage)" as you will find.

Yes they like to split the dogs and griddle them here. The only place I have been to that deep fries them is Ann’s Dari-Creme in Marley Station.

The many 5 Guys that have opened in the area serve a Hebrew National dog, split and griddled, and they have just about every topping available.

There’s also Pollock Johnny’s in Lexington Market for both hot dogs and polish sausages.

A lot of places in Baltimore like to split and deep fry the dogs. One place with a good reputation is Attman’s deli on Lombard Street. They serve a grilled kosher dog.
