Best Hot Dog in the ATL?

[Davo7]

Any really good dog places I should try?

[QueenP]

Do any of these places serve dogs w/ natural casing?

Give Barkers and Mike's a call. They sell the dogs they serve uncooked in packages also. If you like the poppy seed buns Mike's sells those. I don't think their dogs are w/natural casing but the companies they order from may sell those.

Hot dogs at a restaurant can never be as good as the ones produced by Patak meats in Austell. You can find a few of their products at larger stores and farmer's market stores around town, as well.

Patak dogs are served at Cabbagetown Market - Little's Grill, but it's a true hole in the wall. They are cooked on a flat griddle:

I think Barkers rival them, mostly because they are charcoal grilled. You stand and watch as they grill them. Their dogs come from a fifth generation family owned sausage maker in New York - in business since 1869 - per their web site. Grilling makes almost any meat better IMO.

I should try Pataks dogs on the grill at home for comparison. I love Pataks canadian bacon or smoked pork loin as I call it - makes great sandwiches.

Skip's in Avondale Estates is good if you like Chicago Dogs. Varsity is another.

The ONLY thing that comes to mind is The Varsity. They make a pretty mean chili-cheese-slaw dog. But by mean, I mean greasy and calorie-laden. Best enjoyed with a FO (frosted orange).
