Top 5+ Hot Dog Chains That Use the Highest Quality Ingredients

2. Portillo's

Portillo’s is another chain famous for its Chicago-style hot dogs, which are made with 100% beef in a sheep casing (the jumbo hot dogs don’t have any casing). Like Shake Shack, Portillo’s also uses Vienna Beef.  “Vienna Beef is proud to have maintained a relationship with the Portillo’s Restaurant Group during this legendary climb,” the hot dog manufacturer says. “From the beginning in 1963 Portillo’s has been serving Vienna Beef products.”

3. Nathan's

It really doesn’t get any better than the iconic Nathan’s hot dogs. “Nathan’s Famous hot dogs are all beef, all craveable, made with our secret spice recipe,” the company says. The brand, both in restaurants and bought at a grocery store, is a firm fan-favorite dog. “I’d say Nathans is a superior frank, especially Angus, and Hebrew Nationals would be a safe mid for me,” one fan shared.

4. Wienerschnitzel

Good old Wienerschnitzel is not the fanciest spot but always consistent and with some great hot dogs on the menu, especiall the Premium all-beef dog. “Wienerschnitzel dogs are made with USDA approved cuts of quality meat and seasoned with a zesty blend of spices to ensure every bite is delicious and juicy!” the company says.
