I see Nathan's mentioned several times here, but nothing specific about the cased version vs. their "skinless" ones.
Nathan skinless I find are very forgettable (prefer Hebrew National over any of them), but Nathan's with the casings?!? Wow! Heaven on a bun!!!! :Wow1: :drool:
Cased Nathan's are a bit hard to find though (at least here on the West Coast). Only about 5-10% of stores carrying the brand seem to have them with the casings.
Boar's Head is another good one I find at a local Ralphs (Kroger) store, but is more $$$ and I think is no better than Nathan's.
Costco purchases can be handled with a chest freezer.
Seen that very package of Kirkland franks too but haven't been able to bring myself to buy one (that's a lot of franks to risk not liking them lol). Wished they would hand out samples like they do but so far no luck.
