Bacon-wrapped
Start off with a high-quality 1/4-pound hot dog then take a full strip of really good smoked bacon and wrap the dog diagonally starting at one end and finish at the other. Use a toothpick on each end to secure the bacon to the dog.
Then grill the dog slowly so the bacon and dog both cook completely.
Best if served on your choice of roll with grilled peppers and onions and your choice of condiments or other toppings.

A 'heart attack' on a bun, but oh so worth it!
Oh yeah, you'll find these sold by street vendors in Los Angeles. I first ran into them at our Inland Mopars Car Club car show a few years ago and also at "Spring Fling" in Van Nuys.
Sooooo good!!!
 
Chicago Dog:

Veinna Beef hot dog on a steamed poppyseed bun, mustard, bright green relish, onion, peppers, celery salt. Pickle and tomato wedges are optional. BTW, It's a sin in Chi-Town to put ketchup on a good dog.

I found a great place in Denver to get a real Chicago Dog: http://www.mhvs.biz/

I slice mine in half (two) and put real butter in a skillet and fry them , then pull them out and butter up two dog buns and lay them face down in the hot skillet, pull the buns out and wrap the already cooks sliced dogs in cheese then back in the skillet covered with the burners off for about 3 minutes, Chopped onions with hot mustered
Ok I am hungry !!
 
Get you two aluminum nails (sometimes called "baking nails" and available in kitchen-gadgets stores...meant for use when baking potatoes so they don't blow up in the oven).

Get you a piece of wood about 3/4" thick and 2" wide and 2" longer than whatever hot dogs you eat. A chunk of baseboard works fine.

Measure the length of one of your hot dogs. Subtract one inch. Make centered marks on your piece of wood that distance (length minus one inch) apart. Pound one nail into each mark. Stop just before the nail head sits flat on the wood.

Get you a length of lamp cord with a regular household electric plug on one end. Steal the line cord from an existing lamp or appliance for bonus redneck points. Strip 1/2" insulation from the end of each of the two wires. Loop one stripped wire end around each nail and then finish pounding the nails so the wires are firmly trapped between the nail head and the wood.

Get you a hot dog from the package. Frozen's no good, it's gotta be thawed. Push it onto the pointy ends of the nails. Set your hot dog roaster (did you know that's what you built? You do now!) on the counter or table, hot dog side up/wire side down.

Plug it in. Shortly the hot dog will begin to cook, all by itself, right before your very eyes. When it is done, unplug the cooker (this is an important step; don't skip it) and remove the hot dog from the nails.

If you use steel nails instead of aluminum, your hot dog will taste electrocuted…gross!

I am told this type of a hot dog cooker will cause a pickle to glow, but I never tried mine with a pickle.

Or if all this is too much work, make you some Wiener Wings:

just spread 1000 island dressing (make your own by mixing catsup, mayo and relish) on the hot dog bun. Melt some swiss cheese on the dog and top with sauerkraut and caraway seeds.
 
Boil hot dog, put on bun and eat. When I was a teen this is the way I learned to eat em with out wearing half of it while being a parts driver !!! Still love em that way.
