As a meat eater, it's shit like this which is why I've been buying more vegetarian shit. Every week there's a new food recall. People are getting real sick and dying.

Same here. I tried out blackbean burgers, plant-based hot dogs, tofu and almond milk in my last couple of grocery runs, just to see what's up. Turns out I really like tofu as a substitute for ground beef, and the veggie dogs tasted just like all beef franks to me. And none of these things were any more expensive than meat, so that's also a big plus.

Which veggie dog worked for you? I can't find one that grills correctly.

They're from "Morning Star Farms," though I was careful to only say that they taste right, haha -- They don't plump up when cooked, and are prone to scorching in spots on the grill. But the flavor is spot on!

True, but meat-based hot dogs are typically fully cooked and so only need to be warmed, too... Grilling is just kind of a fun activity for me, and it adds a little snap and smoky flavor that you can't get by boiling them. That said, grilled veggie dogs were a little different, but still pretty good!
