I agree it is not your normal hot dog, but it IS unique & those are the places that become "must stops" for many of us. They are definitely different destinations. Certainly worth checking out. The original (on Front St in Toledo) is the one to head for.

Depends on how strictly you want to define a "hot dog"...  Call it a Hungarian sausage dog if you insist.  :)  FWIW, it took me years of getting dragged into Packos by the relatives before I finally realized what the fuss about the place was. All those celebrity autographed buns on the walls say it's a must stop when in Toledo. I can certainly see why someone wouldn't like their menu at all. Sort of the same way I was underwhelmed stopping at the original & nationally famous Arthur Bryant's BBQ in Kansas City many years ago. A hole in the wall place with presidents autographs on the wall.

Agreed Mike. The original one on Front Street is the one to head to if your have a choice.

From the Food Network best hot dogs in all 50 states in Ohio it's from Cleveland!  https://www.foodnetwork.com/restaurants/photos/best-hot-dogs-in-america

Polish Boy, Banter (Ohio)

Ohio has strong dog-centric culinary traditions, including Cincinnati chili dogs. Back in the 1940s, the Polish Boy emerged on Cleveland's fast food scene. It's a stack of coleslaw, barbecue sauce, hot sauce and a pile of fries loaded atop a smoky Polish-style kielbasa in a sturdy hot dog bun. It can be found all around the Rock and Roll Capital of the World, but one of the best examples is sold at Banter, a new-school sausage and poutine shop on the near west side.

Or from the 10 best list in Ohio. https://bestthingsoh.com/hot-dog-joints/

Number 2 is from Cleveland.

Strictly Gourmet, huh? NO mention of Packo's which immediately disqualifies them. Coleslaw and fries are fine as sides with a dog, but pile it on top of one? 

Dayton's Zombie Dogz made #3 (they now have a brick and mortar store besides the food truck), and I can't say I'm interested- I don't care for extraneous crap on my dog.

I agree, fries topping anything is a bad idea in my book.  I want them on the side.

Besides hot dog cookouts as a kid and in scouts I had countless hotdogs while going to YSU and working down the mill (classic dogs with homemade sauerkraut from Stanley's on Salt Springs Rd.). Also stopped late nights at my uncle's bar in Girard the bartender would steam a few dogs with provolone and peppers on the side.

Also lived in Girard for about 5 years while going to YSU and frequented Jib jab a LOT. Ummmmm hotdogs!

Something really cool about Jib Jab... I mean the food is great and cheap, but the place just reminds you of simpler times. 

 

How is the conversation in there?  I hear not very good.  They say it is all a bunch of Jibber Jabber.....kinda like here.

Ever do western style ribs like this?  I think they’re just as good but with way more meat to bone. More bang for the buck

Not sure what that is. These are St Louis cut.  I prefer baby backs,  but this is all they had. 

Smoked the top one for about 5.5 hours unwrapped,  the two other slabs were 3-2-1 style. 

If I'm going bang for buck,  pork butt wins,  but it takes forever

They’re cut from the ends. Meatier and more akin to chops. I’ll cook them the same as spare or baby back. A little bit longer but great to eat as is or doing pulled pork. Wanna roll some eyes? Pulled pork on a bagel

I think a trip to Royal Oaks is happening this Saturday or next, speaking of ribs... 

If you guys and gals out there aren't afraid of dive bars and Youngstown, Ohio (it's not really that scary. :unsure:) .......and want some good barbeque and cold beer try the Oaks the ROYAL OAKS. I remember it as a dive bar and bookie hangout when I was going to YSU....but that's just me.  :lol:

I don't eat ribs that are all slathered up with sauce.  I like a Memphis Dry.  Maybe take a squeeze bottle and put a little sauce on the outer edge.

 

My attitude is if you have to put sauce on them to make them good, you didn't make them right in the first place.

Not me I love Italian food.

I have to admit I agree. Virtually everything I smoke I do not sauce. I serve sauce on the side for those who want it. If more than a few people need to bury it in sauce I figure I have failed on that cook :)

For today's game against Indy (3pm CDT) I'm opening a bottle of Grenacha-this  one a red wine from the Valencia area in southern Spain. Never had this before. Was a great value pick for only about $10 so I need to try it out to decide whether to get more while it's still on the shelf locally. During a game is as good a time as any.

I think it is the 28th annual event since they brought it back in the old original Briar Hill neighborhood. When the Mills died in the 1980s a lot of the old neighborhoods died with them.

Still a good event to keep it alive.
