These two competing hot dog chains with the same name have been providing Oaklanders with juicy excellence since the 1930s. But what’s the story? Are they related? Are they frenemies? And, most importantly, which one makes the better hot dog? No Crumbs’ host Josh Decolongon explores the history behind these two beloved Oakland chain restaurants before sitting down for a blind taste test to find out once and for all which hot dog reigns supreme.
