Considering I'm from CT, I'm pretty much speaking about Connecticut Restaurants
Windmill used to have the best dogs, this was when they sold Miller Hot Dogs. They sell Hummell, which is still an awesome dog, though not the same as a Miller. Chili is so so, dogs with the works are fabulous
Merrit Canteen: Everyone makes such a big deal about their Chili, I think it's vastly over rated..Too spicy for me.. Dogs are decent though
Duchess: IMO, the best Chili by a mile. Perfect spice/bacon bits (not strips)on top. People will probably laugh at Duchess, however, everything they do is good.
IMHO, Duchess wins..They make great burgers, even good mik shakes..Probably one of the most under rated greasy spoons around
Thanks for listening
That’s a name I haven’t heard in many years
Ate a couple of those almost 50 years ago, once and only time, with "everything" on it.
Kept tasting it every burp work a couple of days afterwards.
Not my favorite experience, but clearly memorable!
My Mom & Dad used to go their stand on Palmer Avenue in Mamaroneck, NY way back in the 1930s! It's still standing. Great Hot Dogs! First Hot Dog I ever ate split down the middle!
Is this the only place in Westchester that splits their hot dogs? Years ago I had friends that lived in White Plains and they took me to a hot dog stand that split their dogs and cooked them on the flat top. Also had really good mustard

Walters did have a place in white plains as of like 2 years ago.

Does have a place
Can't beat a $1.50 for a decent dog and a Coke.
Yeah, but hot dogs aren't steak - even if you paid 5x as much you're only out a few bucks, but you'll get a much better dog.
The question is - do dogs deserve to be categorized based on preparation? Some hot dogs I can only eat grilled (Nathans), while others IMO are meant to be served dirty water style (steamed, like Sabrett). Some of them desperately need toppings, while others can pull it off on their own.
When I was in Frankfurt am Main years ago, I bought bratwurst from just about every little vendor I passed on the street, and they were all delicious. And I got a terrific sandwich in a shop in the train station.
Also my father in law agrees miller dogs actually were better than Hummel
They also offer a Jalapeno/Cheddar version.
Its still there, they just moved across the street and a little further east. Others in Newark that compare to JJ's are: Chris Red Hots and Tony's
Natural casing makes a huge difference for me. Still remember where I was when I had my first one - a beautiful summer day on the beach in Fairfield.
Deutschmacher Frankfurters Natural Casing. My relatives in New England turned me on to these. Awesome on the grill. I don't see them a lot in NY.
There is a place near me that makes their own (and have awesome Bratwurst as well) Old school German Deli and meat store. Forest Pork in Huntington. Great at tailgates.

Is that place still around? We used to go there when I was a kid in the 80's visiting relatives.
i live and have lived up the street from Swanky's my entire life and never went there isn't that crazy? been to the one in westport oddly enough. all closed now.

Duchess is so clutch though. really just a great fast food joint.
