This would be fairer if it were sausages vs. tacos, 'cause I love hot dogs but there are so many different kinds of tacos; various meats, fish, shrimp, crispy, soft, w/pico de gallo or w/green salsa, etc. However if you factored in all sausages and all the various breads and condiments that went with them...

The correct answer would still be tacos.

if this were expanded to include cased meats in general, i might be tempted to switch my vote, but that's just cause i stan for hot doug's full time

A great hot dog is better than a great taco, so hot dogs.

hot dogs seems more versatile to me
so wrong it's making my head hurt
wtf where do you live? that is just insane.

taco=anything wrapped in a tortilla. hot dog=one specific kind of encased meat in one specific kind of bread roll, w/standardized toppings. do people DEEP FRY the hot dog bun ever? no, they do not.

Tacos by a million miles.
First of all...I'm not always so good with the wheat, and tacos are gluten free! Usually.
And I ate at Hot Doug's in Chicago yesterday. It was pretty great, but wasn't as good as the cemita I had at Cemitas Puebla, and that wasn't even a taco, but I reckon if you put the contents of that pastor cemita in a corn tortilla instead of on an awesome crusty sesame bun you'd have a hell of a taco.

yes because surely liking hot dogs more than tacos is an ethical decision.
I picked hot dogs, though i am using a somewhat broad definition i.e. "encased meat in a bun," therefore all of the glories of hot dougs would be included.

LA-style bacon wrapped hot dogs and Chilean-style completos make this really, really hard...but still I have to end up in the taco column. Cuz at the end of the day, a hot dog is still a hot dog & a taco can be something special.

It could be my pining away for all things northeast again (see: bagels); and while I haven't had an amazing h-dog in a while, a taco just doesn't bring me to that omega-point of pleasure. There's something about stuffing that last third of a hot dog in your mouth that's uniquely satisfying.
― pj, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 15:34 (fourteen years ago) link
Difficult one except when I think about it I always get Kielbasa from the hot-dog cart. Tacos then because they are good for every meal and so versatile.

No, just the pastor cemita. Being on vacation and hitting some food spots, and yet to hit Hot Dougs, I really didn't want to overdo it. Fact is, we had flown in and due to weather and being re-routed to Grand Rapids, ended up having a 7 hour flight from NY to Chi, so when we arrived friday we were starved and went straight to the Red Apple, polish all you can eat buffet, and the rest of the trip involved walking a difficult line between wanting to pig out midwestern style and wanting to not be totally sick and miserable the entire time!
We had seen Cemitas Puebla on Diners Dives and Drive-ins and it looked like the real deal and it was really great.

The thing is, you can do esoteric things to a taco and I'm all "YUM YUM GIMME MORE" but if you even put chili on my hot dog I will punch you in the neck. Stop fucking up my hot dog with bullshit; I only want ketchup, mustard, relish and MAYBE SOMETIMES chopped onion on it.

And even if I think of hot dog as meaning ANY kind of encased meat topped with anything on any kind of bun, Tacos still win. Now, I REALLY love processed meat, but the purity of a good pork taco, with it's crunchy bits and soft bits and fatty bits and juicy bits and questionable bits, all the textures, is just a wonderful thing.

I think they featured their taco arabe on DD&D, too. Further evidence of the taco's versatility: tacos arabe have a unique taste, and i find myself craving one once a month or so. (usually i get a cemita AND a taco arabe, and don't have to eat for the rest of the day. or weekend)

New Orleans isn't the greatest taco town, but all the C. American laborers after the storm brought in a big influx of taco/pupusa places. I probably eat tacos twice as often as hot dogs, too. The hot dog is just a higher high. What can I say, I'm a mystery meat kinda guy.
― pj, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 15:46 (fourteen years ago) link
for instance, u need some freshly made tortillas for a truly pimpin taco experience; a poppy seed bun is about as fancy as u need 2 get w/a hot dog, and even then it still doesnt really matter as long as u got ur mustard and a frank.

but tacos own this completely
Has to be the right mustard though, plain ordinary yellow doesn't, erm, cut the mustard really.
