According to the website TastingTable, Costco's $1.50 food court hot dogs are nothing short of iconic. People like them so much that Costco actually sells more hot dogs than rotisserie chickens each year. The wholesaler hasn't raised the price since the '80s, and the deal even includes a 20-ounce soda. To say this is a good price in the current economy would be an understatement; it's an absolute steal. Beyond the low cost, though, the dogs are genuinely pretty damn good - and if you want to enjoy the taste of Costco's food court hot dogs at any time, buy Kirkland Signature Beef Dinner Franks the next time you're shopping at the warehouse.
According to the package, these are the exact same hot dogs as served in the food court. They're made exclusively with beef meat, but the ingredient list also includes water, dextrose, salt, spices, sodium lactate, garlic, sodium diacetate, sodium erythorbate, paprika and extractive, and sodium nitrate.
Doesn't look like there's anything in there that'll kill ya -
at least not right away, anyway...
