my only problem with Wegman's brand "winning" the taste test, is that the Wegman's brand is really more of a brat than a hot dog. So, if you take out the brat and only compare the hot dogs, as you ALL can tell, Hofmann's (from Syracuse) won the battle of Hofmann's vs. Sweigles! (as I have always known!)

Hi,
I have never tried either one unfortunately. It seems to go back to the standard regional favorites. Trying to get people in one region to try something new can be like pulling teeth, until they actually try it that is. I always wanted to try a white hot. Cannot get them here though.
