Hot dogs have the reputation of being some mysterious log of meat. What's in it? Can you even pronounce the ingredients?
There has got to be someone that makes a hot dog without the mystery. That is full flavor made with things we all know.
There is.
Porter Road makes all beef hot dogs that are unlike other hot dogs I have had. Learn about what's so great about these hot dogs.
🏆 Better Hot Dogs
Here is what you need to know about these hot dogs:
- Uncured - No nitrates or nitrites added
- No added preservatives
- Pastured raised beef (never confined to a feedlot)
- Fully cooked
- Gluten free
- No artificial colors or flavors
- Made with dry aged beef
What made me want to give these hot dogs a try the most was that they were made from dry aged beef. Never have had a hot dog that was. I wanted to know if the hot dog would have a more beefy flavor and it did not disappoint in the least.
You could taste the quality of beef in every bite. They are more meaty than any other hot dog I have tried. The texture is quite different, which may not be every one's cup of tea. I think the best way to describe it was dense but tender. My wife and I both enjoyed the more meatiness.
So what is actually in these hot dogs.
🌭 Ingredients
- Beef
- Water

Now that's what I call a clean ingredient list. Those are all ingredients I can say and buy myself in the store. You can taste them in each bite.

💲 Where to Buy
You can order the Dry Aged Hot Dogs from Porter Road's website. The hot dogs will be shipped to you frozen.
If you are lucky like I was to be in the Nashville area you can swing by their butcher shop and get them there as well as stocking up on other meats as well.
Here are some other things you may want to pick up to include in your order for your next cookout:

🌬️ Air Fryer
In times when firing up the grill isn't possible, I opt to turn to my air fryer to cook these hot dogs.
⏲️ Set the air fryer to 400 degrees for 5-8 minutes. If you like yours on the darker side go with the longer time.
This method is so much better than just boiling the hot dogs. And they taste similar to having been grilled or cooked over a fire.
You will want to make some slices with a knife into the hot dogs before you cook them. This will give you more crispy areas on the outside of the hot dogs.
