Does anyone make hotdogs out of 'real' cuts of meat?

Is there any brand of hot dog that's made out of actual cuts
of beef, not "lips and eyeballs" as it's my understanding
most hotdogs are?

Gee, what would all the trolls do without Deja-Google? 90%
of all Google posts here are trolls.

Go to a local butcher, one NOT in another store. They make
you whatever you want.

You're outta luck. Without the lips and eyeballs, the hot
dogs won't taste right. The closest you'll be able to get to
that "real hotdog flavor" but without the beef lips is
something made with mechanically separated turkey meat and
pork and chicken byproducts.

"Mechanically separated" is the key to good hot dogs.

Hope this helps, :) Bob

ERP! Never did like hotdogs. Now I know why!

Locally we have a low-production "sausage shop". All their
products are made from good cuts of meat, even the hotdogs
and balogna, the only bologna I'll even bother to taste.

Hebrew National.

They "answer to a higher authority".

What would self-appointed anal retentive net-kops do
without Google?

Not a "troll", it was an entirely serious question.

Look in the classifieds, maybe you'll find a life.

Who-Hoo! I got a troll to respond! What do I win?

Lips and eyeballs. Uh-huh.

Why would anyone use actual cuts of meat to make hot dogs?
Hot dogs are a way of using up those scraps.

If you are that concerned, you might want to make your own.
Then you would know what is in them.

It's the "byproducts" that I'm trying to avoid, all the
stuff they'd use on Fear Factor in unprocessed form. I've
been trying soy dogs which aren't bad, but once in a while
I'd like to have a real meat hot dog, but made out of *meat*
and not scraps...

Presubably after cutting off the really good parts, the
meaty bones are crushed and forced through a sieve to
separate the bones from the tissue to make a paste-like
meat product.

Try Kosher hotdogs such as Hebrew National.

Why? If you're going to eat one piece of meat, why does it
matter what other piece of meat you eat? I just read a
wonderful book called "A Cooks Tour" where Anthony Bourdain
travels around the world eating different foods and it's
amazing how other cultures make use of every scrap of meat
instead of having this silly notion that we need to only eat
the "nice" parts.

It seems disrespectful to the animal that you've killed to
not use the lips and eyeballs for *something*.

Because (a) different cuts of meat taste different and
(b) toxins accumulate at different levels in different
cuts of meat.

Here on Maryland's Eastern Shore the lips are given (sold? I
don't know) to commercial crabbers as bait. A butcher told
me the eyes are often donated to medical schools, for
dissection instruction.
