70 NYC Hot Dogs, and Where to Eat Them. Hot dogs are a quintessential NYC food, up there with bagels, pizza and the $35 foie-gras-stuffed burger.

But we do have a goal: helping you top Joey Chestnut’s record of eating 69 hot dogs in 10 minutes with 70 different local wiener suggestions (please, though, take a year, or a lifetime).

Looking back on it, there is an argument to be made that Anthony Bourdain is at least partially responsible for the existence of this website.
Years ago, before either of us had read Kitchen Confidential or become obsessed with certain episodes of No Reservations to the point of embarrassing familiarity, we were watching A Cook’s Tour and trying to figure out how this man made a living out of going to foreign lands and eating amazing sh*t. Stang actually booked a food vacation to San Sebastian after seeing Tony (yep, we’re cool like that) feature it on one of those early shows. Thus, the seeds were planted, and on we went on our path toward Immaculate conception five or so years later.

Therefore, when they go out after work, Big Apple waiters patronise establishments that offer excellent food, good service, and outstanding value for their hard-earned dollar. If you're visiting NYC from the UK and want to avoid the multitude of culinary tourist traps trying to suck those devaluing British pounds out of your wallet, your best bet is to ask a server where to eat.
