They missed a number of big brands in that taste test.

I'm sure they did.  I surmise they tasted the hotdog with nothing on it.  Anyway, it's another pretty useless ranking.  I think individuals are pretty capable of forming their own personal opinions taking things like cost into account.  I formed mine obviously.

I've noted before, some rankings can be of value when the topic is something beyond what an individual could do on his own and where the ranking criteria are explained and it's not entirely subjective.  Take "Best Place to Retire", someone might read that ranking and spot a location that sounds interesting, maybe it's Number 10 on the list.  So, they visit and find it does suit them.  Great.

It is very unlikely that I would ever buy 18 kinds of hot dogs to compare against each other

Over time, folks try things often as not, or they can.

Nathan's hot dogs eaten in New York are better than the ones sold elsewhere. 

Raw onions on hot dogs/sausages > fried onions on hot dogs/sausage

This ranking brought to you by [fairly bad] generative AI!

This was pretty interesting though a 27 minute youtube video is a commitment. But I was duty at work so I had some downtime.

The put each states dish in tiers then ranked the ones in the top tier. The overall winner was Oklahoma with the onion smash burger, which edged Illinois and their Italian beef sandwich.
