UPDATE: Texasyankee, trust me! Get yourself some hot links, throw them on the grill till they're nicely browned on the outside, put them on a bun with Mustard. You'll never look at a hot dog the same way again. Hot links, unlike regular dogs, are good boiled or steamed too, and they don't mushy. Do this too, split a hot link, and fry it until brown (I like'em burnt), serve up with hashed browns and eggs. Trust me! Hey, learn to live dangerously, lol!
A hot link dog is like a hot dog on steroids! Hot and spicy, with mustard or BBQ sauce.
