Hot dogs are American classics eaten all over the country at backyard barbeques and ball games. Travel + Leisure has released their picks for the best hot dogs in each and every state and the list contains some surprises. Vermonters will not find the winning dogs at a food truck or roadside stand as you might expect. The top-notch hot dogs are actually being served up at a spot famous for its donuts and cider.
Cold Hollow Cider Mill receives thousands of visitors each year as travelers pull off of Route 100 for cider and donuts. Located in Waterbury Center, this attraction is Vermont to its very core.
