/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Wow a generation that doesn't want to get cancer, how dare they!

cause it taste like shit

Maybe because they aren't fatasses and couch potatoes like boomers.

Hot dog is kill when they do $10 hot dogs. $10 are they crazy? I don't think I get that one.

>>13194998
The future of classic fast food is looking bleak. Millennials were actually the last vestige to revive old classics and make them good, but it was short lived really.

>>13195006
massively shit taste dude. get better 'ogs.

>>13194998
Its because their boomer and millennial parents only buy the shitty tasting beef hotdogs and not the delicious meat scrap ones that have chicken, beef, pork & human dna mixed in.

>"The Coney hot dog is not our biggest seller anymore," says Leo Stassinopoulos, co-founder of the Leo's Coney Island chain — Michigan's largest, with 40 locations. "From years ago, the Coney is not that popular right now."

>Breakfast is big at his restaurants. But "the biggest business now is the salad," he says. "I think it's more that people like healthy stuff."

>Leo's is famous for its Greek salad and house-made Greek dressing, "but it's not just Greek salads. ... I have like 10 of them. I have all kinds of salads," says Stassinopoulos, 61.

>Besides the Greek and the top-selling chicken-Greek, there's the antipasto, Village, Caesar, Cobb, chef, turkey, taco, chicken finger, Michigan and spinach salads, and all have their fans.

>Chicken-finger pita sandwiches are also "a pretty good item ... popular with the young generation."

Actually this article is dated 2012 so forgive my stupidity, apparently my own millennial race was the problem, what a bunch of losers

>>13195061
this is seriously triggering.

>>13194998
they like to suck sausages, not eat them

>>13195061
The only gen worse than us at this point is gen x.

Costco's $1.50 hotdog and drinks remains the most popular fastfood combo in the world.

>>13194998
Pussies put catsup on them like shitheaded vegans to be.

>>13194998
ok boomer.

>>13195077
They truly are the worst. I'm glad no one has caught on and made it the new meme.

>>13195071
ok boomer (gayest generation)

>>13195078
Costco's isn global

Because literally every other type of sausage is better

>>13195026
>millennials are killing fast food
thank Allah

>>13195096
I'm a millennial, you little shit.

respect your elders, anyway.

>>13194998
why is there mustard on the fries?

>>13195078
I love the fact that they have diced onions I absolutely smother my hot dogs in onions when I'm there

>>13195103
they recently opened in china

>>13195146
>that kid in the middle just fucking screaming

>>13195061
I don’t see the problem. What’s wrong with eating healthier?

>What's wrong with those darn teenagers? Why don't they love depression-era garbage filler meat tube sandwiches with vinegar-sugar condiments like I do?
Damn though, I actually love a good hotdog, way more than a burger. By "good" hot dog, I mean an actual nicely-seasoned lean sausage (not just cheap bulk grocery store wieners) in an appropriately-sized roll with mustard, ketchup, relish (sweet or dill), grilled onions, and sauerkraut.
It's not a meal by any means, hell it's barely even "food". But it's damn tasty, and if I just need to eat something to hold me until a proper meal, a hotdog is fucking awesome. I even love the taste of the shitty cheap ones, just because of the texture and flavor combination of the whole thing, despite the crap meat. My usual diner go-to is like the Luigi/Ken of diner combos: Deluxe Hotdog/Chili-dog with onion rings. (the Mario/Ryu of diner combos being burger/chili-burger with fries).

>>13195155
Nothing, but there's a lot wrong with going to a fast-food place to eat healthier.

>>13194998
That's because they're no longer cheap. You need to get them back to costing about a dollar or two, otherwise there's just better options out there for the cost.

>>13195158
>t's not a meal by any means, hell it's barely even "food".
This is my main problem with hot dogs. Nutrition wise, they just don't work as a meal. They are delicious, tho.

>>13195152
I just looked up a video of the day the store opened it's nuts

https://www.cnn.com/videos/business/2019/08/27/costco-china-store-police-opening-orig.cnn-business

there's a point where they open the store shutters and people begin crawling into the store underneath as the shutters are going up. fucking bug people I swear

The Chicago dog is an important part of any midwestern diet

>>13195015
How do you think the fortnight generations will end up?

>>13195155
Millenials and zoomers overall have big problems with spending and money-sense. Their sense of value is all fucked, and they see no problem dropping hundreds of dollars on some kind of one-time-use item/service just for the "opportunity" to take part in the latest social media trend for that sweet e-validation. To them, it's worth it. They'll sneak their parents' credit cards just to get it. This attitude persists with them into young adulthood as we are now seeing, when we all thought it was just a phase they would mature out of. It turns out that it's following them into the rest of their lives.
This is a problem because they don't give a fuck that a salad only costs a restaurant under $3 to produce; they will gladly pay over $10 for a salad, for the opportunity to be "healthy" and "sustainable" and to show off their choices to social media in the hopes of further validation. Restaurants and grocery stores are businesses, they don't care about the well-being or happiness of the people, they care about the bottom line, and will gladly ramp up prices of basic shit like fresh produce just to milk the naive gentrification-hipster zoomers and fuck over everyone else.

>>13195176
would be great without the tomato tbqh

>>13195167
Costco hot dog is huge and comes with refillable drinks for just $1.50.

personally i'd rather have a bratwurst i can't bring myself to eat hot dogs anymore used to love them

>>13195186
I prefer the tomatoes thin, otherwise it's tougher than the sport peppers, which is no fun

>>13195146
What are they filming on their phones? Couldn’t possibly be look at all the people here.

>>13195077
Gen X is fine. If I had to choose a generation to be, I’d probably be X. They didn’t get quite as fucked as millennials but also aren’t entitled retards like boomers.

>>13195182
>This attitude persists with them into young adulthood as we are now seeing, when we all thought it was just a phase they would mature out of. It turns out that it's following them into the rest of their lives.
That's market research doing its job. These markets see humans as a means of experimenting new ways to continue their dominance and control over humans. The next wave of generation will just be another experiment for them to test on. Kind of dark really, seeing people as mere cattle and lab rats rather than actual human beings.

>>13194998
Speak for yourself, I had a whole pack of hotdogs with chili and cheese last week

>>13195190
pretty much

>>13195182
ok boomer

>>13195233
baste.

>>13195210
I linked a video that kind of goes into it. there was a 3 hour wait just to get into the parking lot. It was a frenzy. If I made it in I'd totally take a video and show it to a family member or something. It's always nuts if you ever find yourself in one of those situations. I don't wait in line or whatever for stuff like that, I imagine people were lined up for hours and hours leading up to the store opening.

>>13194998
I prefer a nice bratwurst
I'm 24 and the only time I've had a hotdog this year was when my friends had a barbecue party

The only time I've even thought about hot dogs outside of that is when I saw an infographic that said people in the state of missouri (where I'm from)'s most hated food was the ends of hotdogs
and the struck such an unnatural chord with me because, as a child, I used to just throw them away and I have no idea who else would do that

>>13195243
Isn’t that just life in china though?

>>13195250
probably in some specific areas but I'm not about to generalize. I've followed business news but I don't know what day to day life is like. I work in data and read about alibaba's transaction processing for singles day. the volume is fucking nuts, but it's a giant nation and that's online commerce.

>>13195182
Yes, yes, we get it. You get up a 4am every day for church, work a 38 hour shift at the blue collar hard work mine (which you got by walking up to the supervisor, giving him a firm handshake, and looking him right in the eye), hand back your paycheck because work is it's own reward, go home to the house you built with your own hands, fix a meal from scratch from the food you grow yourself, read the Bible from cover to cover, then turn in at 7pm sharp for 12 hours of sleep. But you're talking about a comparison to a hot dog, which is basically a couple of cents worth of product sold at a massive markup.

>>13195263
based schizo.

>>13195247
Brats are better as a stand alone sausage, but I love coney dogs and smothering a brat in chili would be kind of overkill

>most hated food was the ends of hotdogs
and the struck such an unnatural chord with me because, as a child, I used to just throw them away and I have no idea who else would do that
It's probably because often hot dog buns are just slightly bigger than the hot dog, so nobody wants the last bite that's a sliver of hot dog nip and a fat hunk of white bread

>>13195263
I'm actually a typical boomer's work-ethic nightmare: If it's not a permanent job/career I will only work harder than the shittiest guy there just to stay on the payroll and off the chopping block. I don't even want to talk to anyone on the phone, let alone see anyone face-to-face. I do all my financial and work shit online whenever I can. As for a career, I did just-passing-grade-quality work all through school to get a career I can live off of, that affords me the most free time possible (~3 months paid vacation a year) just so I can do nothing when I want to.
The thing is - I'm barely in debt, and I'll have it paid off within a year or so, because I knew, like anyone rational enough, when it was time to stop spending money, even if my friends were begging me to do expensive shit with them. I know people my own age who are constantly deep in debt and can't control themselves either, but the rates of debt are being wholly observed to drastically escalate with recent generations compared to historical rates. Forget you and me, it's simply not good for them to be in such debt already at so young; they have never been more susceptible to aggressive commercial influences and media-driven lifestyles, even, at this point, being conditioned to disregard practical, conventional knowledge/wisdom/awareness (lumping even the useful advice together with the folk-knowledge shit as altogether "outdated") in favor of popular media-guided opinions/decisions.
>okay boomer lol

>>13195061
Leo's is probably the best chain Coney in Michigan. The ranch is unparalleled.

>>13195188
Yes, and they sell tons of them and they're known for keeping the price lower than the market standard but their locations can't be everywhere.

>>13195061
Fuck saladfags. Might go to my local Leo's tonight and order a couple coneys just to spite them. (Also because coneys are tasty and I'm hungry for them now)

>>13195373
Based image. Did you create this?

>>13194998
>>13195061
As a Michifag this triggers me. Like the Coney or leave.

>>13195182
zoomers are way more utilitarian than previous generations it's obvious you don't interact with many young people or people in general for that matter

>>13195841
He's mistaking zoomers for millenials.

>>13195841
From a boomer's perspective, you Zoomers are way more successful & entrepreneurial than Millennials. Goldman Sacks even did a study on this.

>>13195895
Also, my theory is that gen Z has witnessed the man/woman-children that are millennials, who still depend on their parents even at 35. At least that's what motivates my youngest compared to my first born.

You can get the pig anus muscle at michelin restaurants. The are the reason i stopped eating hotdogs. I don't care but hotdogs have cholesterol so fuck em

>>13195182
Ok boomer

Oh no young people don't want to eat nitrate filled meat and die of ass cancer at 42. How unamerican of them.

>>13195958
So why were teens in the 50s healthier than the skinnyfats of today?

>>13195969
Because they went outside and moved around and ate actual meals that were cooked by their mother instead of a 24oz Baja blast and a bag of funyuns.

Do you have any more stupid ass retarded questions or are you ready to shut the fuck up?

Hot Dogs were probably great and special for people in 1953. I've had a few hot dogs and they were always just not as good as I would imagine them to be. Even when I sometimes make them myself. It's food for commoners and poor people

>>13194998
Millennial here; hot dogs are fucking garbage and so are those shitty white bread buns

>boomers destroy the world
>millenials wipe their ""culture"" from history

>>13195977
Stuck a cord, didn't he boomer?

>>13195998
Are you sure it isn't his post that struck a cord with you?
>Because they went outside and moved around and ate actual meals that were cooked by their mother instead of a 24oz Baja blast and a bag of funyuns.
This is honestly perfectly sound, I don't understand why you'd get upset over it.

No wonder, this hotdog is fucking shit.

>>13195977
These fine young teens ate what all teens ate in the 50s, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, shakes, and chocolate malteds

Better looking than any vegan sushi eating Millennials

You seem really stupid. Don't reply to my posts anymore. Thanks.

>ZOMGZORZ BACON SRIRACHA JERKY WITH EXTRA BACON I LOVE BACON GIMME BACON NOM NOM NOM

Cancer ain't going away.

Hot dogs are very popular among children. I feel like most people eat like 90% of the hot dogs they'd eat from the ages of 12 and under because its a boomer staple. Who sincerly gives a fuck about them? Sausages are better anyway.

Theirs gyros, bahn mi sushi, samosas, and infinetly more things tastier than a quick hotdog. A hirams, Rut Hutts, or Pink is fantastic but thats something to eat once a month anyway or less.

Sauasages>>>>hot dogs

>>13195061
People who get triggered by this are literal boomers.

>>13196127
>bahn mi sushi, samosas

>>13196161
You cant tell me bahn mi isnt better than a hot dog. The restaraunts that sell hot dogs is literally the value deal hot dog bun and the same sausages you can buy in the supermarket. You can make that in 5 seconds

>>13195176
Had a Chicago dog at Rangers stadium last time I went and the relish was literally neon green.

>>13196173
I'd rather just get a regular deli sub if I'm in the mood for a sandwich than some weird shit with carrots on it. Let me guess, hoagies aren't special enough for you either?

>>13196206
Some weird shit with carrots in it?

Their both sandwitches Bahn mi really isnt that weird. Its pork, a sauce, and some veggies.

Hoagies are great but you probably prefer the subway kind, prosciutto or mortadella might be too advanced for your hot dog cumbrain tastes

>>13195121
Quite the opposite of what was mentioned ... zoomers are killing fast food.

>>13196001
>>13196011
LMAO, you boomers are too fucking easy. Stick to spending your 401k, losers.

>>13196220
You think you're really cultured but what you don't know is that Coney restaurants are Greek

So take that mr. I love Viets wooo hooooo I'm soooooo progressive to hate American traditions

>>13194998
Hot Dogs are gross because of the texture. At least with Sausage, you know what's in it.

>>13195176
Is that a celery stalk? You use celery SALT.

>>13196273
Those are pickle spears. Are you blind?

>>13196285
On the far left man.

>>13196302
Yea, a pickle spear.

Best place to get hot dogs in England?

Ok boomer

>>13196309
That's celery retard. Pickle spears don't have that concave action

>>13196329
It's just cut at an angle. Fucking phone posters...

>>13196248
Its almost as if I was talking about italian american classic sandwich joints rather than the shitty subway slop you eat.

Greek diners are about as greek as a mexican. I live in jersey, do you know 99% of all the classic greek diners have mexican and central americans in the back? From north to south jersey and parts of new york anytime they have greek food it doesnt taste like greek restaraunt food.

But no keep supporting places with shitty food safety, shitty quality product, and made from ehtnicities you hate anyway just because your boomer dad took you as a child and you cant seem to evolve past the taste of your hometown. Gotta love a hometown hero who's greatest days are highschool and is excited when exotic food like chipotle moves into town

>>13196378
Who cares what's in Jersey, this is a Detroit thread

>>13196107
You just described millennials. Face it you're the punching bag of every other generation for a good reason.

>>13196644
The bacon fad started with millennials, but it hasn't died off since. If only.

imagine preferring tendies to dogdogs

>>13194998
Ok boomer.

>>13196737
Are you really pretending people loving bacon was a fad? Maybe the OVER EXCITEMENT of it was...but not really

Are you too young to remember Beggin Strips? ITS BACOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

There was a trend about putting bacon where it shouldn't be and bacon being "le manly hehehe epic meal time" but bacon has never not been popular, it's not like it came out of nowhere like avocados or kale

Ok boomer

>>13196310
just get a sausage sandwich you weird fuck

>>13195080
He who fails to chup his dogs fails at life.

I would eat hot dogs if nathan's wasn't charging like 4.25 for a plain hot dog with nothing on it

>>13194998
Hot dogs never made sense because spicy Italian sausage and brats exist. Their biggest purpose is to be cheap food you give to the kids at a cookout so the adults can have the real food

>>13196644
>>13196943
Millennials made bacon into a fad, and consumption of it spiked in the early 2010s. But that's just one example. The point is, processed meat is consumed by all generations. Even if hot dogs are becoming less popular, overall consumption of processed meat is not declining. >>13195005 is a snotty retard to suggest otherwise.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31234969
>Despite growing public health concerns about processed meat consumption, there have been no changes in the amount of processed meat consumed by US adults over the last 18 years.

>>13195182
What millennials do you know? Or do you mean the ones you see constantly on Facebook? Funny how you insult them so yet they're the only ones you pay attention to

>tfw hot dog-eating protochad who whipped one of these bad boys out during Halloween as part of an Indiana Jones costume

>>13196262
Exactly. All this talk about millenials valuing their health and in reality, it's just that no one wants to eat a log-shaped loaf with the consistency of uncooked tofu.
Iconic foods like american cheese and hotdogs are literally not the same as 50 years ago.

The US has a massive problem with food labeling laws, where nostalgia was supposed to keep you buying hallmark foods even if they tasted nothing like the originals. Buying power is now, what -- a third of what it was back then? But nobody wanted to cross the holy $5 and $10 psychological thresholds, so shit ingredients it was.
The industry pushed things too far, and instead of adapting they brought the spin about "picky millenials".

>>13195176
You spelled flyover wrong, you subhuman animal.

>>13194998
There's just better meat options everywhere OP.

burgers > hot dogs

How many calories is that?

Coney Islands are bottom-tier here in Michigan. Sure they're cheap, but that's it. Call me a gourmet or some shit, but I feel like Leo's Coney is the same as every other coney, shit.

>>13194998
Based. Hot dogs are gross.

ALSO FUCK VERNORS

well out of nowhere a fucking hotdog shoppe opens up. me and my buddy stop in there and its like a bunch of 50s diner posters , and shitty saved by the bell 50's decour and a 70yr old lady in a poodle skirt at the counter. i told him we have to leave, and the next time i drove downtown through there 6months later the place was gone, thank god.

I refuse to eat any dog that has ketchup on it. It's the devil's anal blood.

I'm sure some chain with start making Hotdogs but call them Vietnamese chai breaded brauhursts and they will become cool again Once Vice and Buzzfeed do a meet the company who is reinventing the Hotdog...yes you heard it the hot dog.

Just be honest with yourself and have a sloppy joe at that point.

They’re overpriced everywhere that serves them

Fuck that. If I eat at Wendy's, I usually get a 4 for $4 deal, get the Jr. bacon cheeseburger plain and a small chili, then top the burger with the chili. It's awesome.
