What I dislike about hot dogs is the fact that the sausage is bigger than the buns, I want smaller sausage so that I can fit more toppings and condiments on it without any of it spilling out from the sides with every bite, a plain sausage and bun is boring for me
The sausage being too big is a more common complaint than people realize. Everyone assumes bigger is always better, but past a certain size it can be uncomfortable or even painful.
You can work your way up to bigger sausages, though. Take your time, try to stay relaxed, and don’t forget to use a condiment!
Some people think it’s normal to experience pain and even bleeding when eating a sausage for the first time, but with gentle stretching you can usually mitigate any discomfort. A few minutes a day for a few weeks is often enough. Be sure to have open lines of communication and a strong trust relationship with your chef.
When I make a hot dog, I cut the bun open, but also hollow it out a little… this gives ample room for extras and allows you to actually ‘close’ the bun and avoid spillage.
Lmao what? I’ve never heard of of anything asking for a more imbalanced meat to bun ratio.
What other toppings are you trying to add? If a Chicago dog can have all its toppings with a polish sausage there’s no reason a normal hot dog couldn’t hold more of what you need.

Sometimes I can’t even fit my mouth around it

I disagree, I feel like the bread to dog ratio is always slightly too high, and I end up tearing some roll off
I just position mine so the end is how I want it, and sometimes that means the first bite is mostly bread.
