In Washington, DC...you haven't lived until you have been to Ben's Chili Bowl on U st. It's a DC institution. Life is only perfect when you have the half-smoke (a sausagey flavored hot dog) with their special home made chili. Bliss. Simply Bliss. http://www.benschilibowl.com/

And in Nashville, TN...I Dream of Weenie
http://www.myspace.com/eastnashvilleweenery --beside's having the best hotdog name EVER--they were also voted Nashville's best mobile food stand AND best hot dog. And make sure you check out all of the delish dogs they have on offer.
