I once asked my brother if he ever tried one of those very red looking hot dogs. I remember seeing them somewhere and I was legit interested in what they were like. He told me he only tried one and it was connected to a German shepherd. I never asked again about those hot dogs

Anyone know the FDA standards for rat feces in hot dogs?

This is a good and important debate. While I would insist that the best hot dogs are those swaddled in the tender embrace of an untoasted bun, I feel the opposite is true where burgers are concerned.
For me it's about the surface tension. Burgers need the reinforced rigidity toasting provides - it's like a bready case. A hot dog bun, by contrast, is more like a fancy jacket. The meat already has structural integrity, so the bread can be given over entirely to sauce-retention & grease-free handling duties.

https://munchies.vice.com/en_us/article/3dj5j9/a-third-of-vegetarians-eat-meat-when-theyre-drunkAs a vegetarian I must confess that at any bar-b-que I will sneak one dog with a toasted bun and eat it in secret.
Hotdogs are my only food weakness and YES the organic rat shit adds to the flavor.

You guys are weird.
I generally prefer a toasted bun but I think that hot dogs are best with a soft and warm steamed bun. It's all about that texture like @Burt says. I wouldn't turn down a toasted bun, it would be better than a cold hard bun.
I like a contrast of textures with my food, so I prefer a soft bun with a firmer hot dog, or a toasted bun with a more tender hamburger or almost any other sandwich.
I don't consider a hot dog a sandwich personally, at best it would fall in the half-assed open-faced category.
As far as toppings ketchup is blasphemy and mustard is mandatory. I love all types of mustard, lately I've been digging jalapeno mustard.
Mustard is a bare minimum, from there on I like chili, onions, and cheese in that order.
I like variety too. Chicago dogs are good, I love pigs in a blanket, and corn dogs are great but possibly a different category altogether.
I'm weird.

I prefer my buns steamed but toasted will do too. Cold hard buns suck. I like the Mexican street dog aka LA street dog. Bacon wrapped dog in a steamed bun topped with mayo, mustard, ketchup, and grilled onions. (I think that's what I'm doing for dinner)
