  1. I’m a Yellow Mustard and dill relish person but the big one is i hate crappy cheap hotdogs. Lowest I’ll go is Oscar Myers all beef or Hebrew National for mainstream. Stuff like Bar-S, Ballpark, those weird red dyed ones are just gross. Squishy hotdogs are nasty. I also don’t like grilled because of the char and boiled are just gross. I like pan fried after a steam in some water.

    Hot dogs and a bit of water in pan lid on, heat until water goes away, lid off and tighten the skin by pan frying.

  2. Watched the video Thursday, prepared the dough on Friday, and baked the buns today. Hot dog, they were good! Such wonderful flavor and texture. I made beer brats and used Inglehoffer Sweet Hot and caramelized onions for toppings . Thanks, Claire Bear.

  3. Claire, you're going to cry tears of sorrow when one of your cats jumps directly onto your stove when it's on and it burns it's paws, the most sensitive part of their body after their whiskers. The 2nd cat jump directly up there but the heat was off.
    I know it's cute and all, but the kitchen is a dangerous place. Teach them what the stove is and how to stay away from it

  4. Love the idea of giving more attention to all components of a hot dog… but Claire, please don't call a hot dog a "dish".
    Especially when there is no dishes in sight, hahaha.
    JK, love your vids. Great work.

  5. Made these today for my family before going to an outdoor play, and my gosh, they were delicious!! My parents were in love with them! They're so pillowy and soft and so easy to make! I don't think we will be buying store buns anymore!😂

  6. Follow up: made these buns today but used them for "lobster" (actually chunks of Argentine Red Shrimp-cheaper and similar flavor) rolls. A+, would recommend. Normal buns are a forgettable part of a dish like this. These buns stand out, in a damn good way.

  7. These look amazing! I love how you break down the recipes and truly make all of them one of a kind! I’ve tried so many of your bread recipes and I can really tell the difference in each one. I’d love to see your version of a hoagie roll recipe or a sturdy sandwich bun for cheesesteaks or deli sandwiches. Love your videos thanks, Claire!
