The slightly crisp, yet tender bite was a homerun in our books! Packaging Wrap-up Schweigert! We loved the meaty, juicy flavor and the golden brown color. So, which brand of hot dogs are we grilling up this summer? However, we noticed that it was also the most difficult to open. The package stands out among the rest as appearing most “straight from the butcher” with the bundled-style wrapping. Packaging: The font and color choices for the Boar’s Head label give it a sophisticated feel. Taste and appearance: Standard, salty taste wrinkled appearance greasy mouthfeel. We’d like to see the label simplified to just red, white and black to really own that retro feel. Packaging: We like the retro feel of the Ambassador label and the playfulness of the hot dog mascot. Taste and appearance: Sweet, smoky, complex flavor robust red interior less juicy.

This was also the only package to use black backing instead of clear, which doesn’t allow for as full of a product view as the others with clear backing. Packaging: We found that the brand on the Cher-Make label is difficult to determine, as “Authentic Wisconsin” is at the top of the label, and the Cher-Make logo is equal in size and side-by-side with the Wisconsin logo. Taste and appearance: Natural, woodsy flavor meaty texture pale appearance. We’d like to see a little more juiciness in the photo for added appetite appeal. While we agree with their choice to do so, we think that the product in the photo doesn’t look much different from the product in the package. We also noted that this was the only package to include a product photo. Packaging: We like the heritage from the font and monogram of the Schweigert logo. Taste and appearance: Buttery and salty flavor crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. The contenders (price: low to high) Schweigert

Packaging was reviewed once each brand was revealed. Our taste testers blindly sampled each and were asked to rate the brands in regards to flavor, appearance and juiciness. We purchased four brands of natural-casing, all-beef hot dogs.

We dusted off the grill and hit the stores with one question in mind: which premium hot dog brand is best? The criteria
Hot dog brands upgrade#
An upgrade from the classic mustard, ketchup and relish combo, offerings such as Prairie Dog’s Micho’s Sonoran Dog and Butcher and the Boar’s Berkshire Pork & Cheddar are all the rage.
