CONTRA COSTA TIMES

Being the Top Dog

What constitutes a good dog is, of course, subjective -- and sausage lovers tend to be loyalists. Some insist Caspers is the best in the East Bay, while others favor the Hot Dog Stand in Oakland. Some prefer steeped dogs; others, like Riemann, are partial to grilled.

Caspers Hog Dogs

A long time favorite in the East Bay, this original Bay Area location opened in 1934. Quick and cheap, but probably the best hot dogs in the area. Many of the ingredients are made in-house, and they've expanded to a sausage business (Spar Sausage Company), who's products can be found in stores. A great place to take the kids -- they even make child-size dogs here. Enjoy.
