When I was a kid, I never really liked hot dogs.  Even then, I knew what they were made of and it really grossed me out.

Fast forward a shit ton of years, and I am loving them all over again. Why?  Because now I know what is in my hot dog…but more importantly I know what is NOT.

Vegan hot dogs are plagued with balancing two distinct needs of people: make your product as close as a match to the meat version (for the ex-meatheads like me) but not so close as to freak out people that don’t like meat.

Many of the brands out there are rubbery analogs that do the job, but not well.

Enter Field Roast’s Frankfurters.

These are a “drier” dog, that I prefer to grill or boil while in the plastic “skin.”  These dogs will not have a ton of water in them like traditional franks.  They have a wonderful flavor and texture that perfectly balances the like-meat-but-not-too-much scale.

These travel incredibly well (keep them refrigerated) are easy clean up, and deliver plenty of protein and food to your gut on those long days of wheelin.
