Why do the "hot dogs" from the street vendors always taste better than at home ??

it`s the fresh air and a sense of eating alfresco. it`s the same as fish and chips in the paper.both taste far superior outdoors as to eating in the home. enjoy

I've only had one vendor hot dog, that was when I lived in Louisiana and we were living it up during Mardis Gras season. It tasted better because I didn't have to cook it or pay for it. I said "Hey mister, if you don't have beads you can just give me one of those dogs." <g> My friend Kathy got a free one as well. Good times...good times...

So... you are a fan of "street meat"... that's what we call hot dog vendor fare in Toronto.

good morning to you as well......i've always wondered the same thing. where i live, there is an agricultural fair. i go, just to sit around and eat anything and everything the vendors have to offer. to me, everything tastes better at night at functions like that.

It's how your brain is conditioned. When you actually think about, all of the fast food you get from most retailers are completely tasteless. A prime example of this is McDonalds.

It's all in the subliminal messaging.

I think it might be because the people keep it in the fridge for a long period of time while when you buy ketchup at the store, it is already warm. so i think it's just that the ketchup at restaurants keep their ketchup colder

They only use premium, homegrown pig guts and other assorted bute little animals of the forest

This holds true with coffee also. Buy any brand you want and it never taste right at home! :)

Good point. Same here in LA...I have no idea, but my guess it's the carts they use.

good Morning, yes you right, I live in New York also and those Sabret Onions they use is a real kick.
