Nathan's Natural Casing Hot Dogs

I used to pick these up at the Safeway on Church and Market but I went today and it seems like they've been discontinued. Anyone know where else in SF I can pick up Nathan's with natural casings? These are the best hot dogs I've found in the stores unless you have a better suggestion (natural casing of course).

    For those who've had both, how do these compare with the Schwartz hot dogs, taste, texture and snap-wise?

      In mid December I bought several packs from Safeway in Diamond Heights--- now, maybe they discontinued too. I was buying several to bring to Philippines as a request so shopped around. Andronico's on Irving carried them too, but it was over $1.00 more per pack.

      CostCo SF does not carry them; they carry Hebrew National.

        As a former NYer, I know hot dogs. Boars Head have natural casings and are better than Nathans; try them - I think you'll be pleased. Nice snap, good taste, juicy. Best on the BBQ.

            I can buy them pretty easily here in Albuquerque, so in SF, it must be way easier.
