Well considering there are specialty hot dog shops in many areas; I have seen some with individual hot dogs in the six dollar range; I think the only only large chain selling them in the US would be Hardees. Krystal does have their own version and I am sure regional chains might have them. The simple thing is, it gives another meal option to give to both adults and kids. It certainly easier to handle than a burger. Worried about your health, why are you eating out?

Everyone should be "worried about their health" as you only get 1 health. Plenty of places offer both "eating out" and "reasonably healthy".

If you go to McDonalds or Burger King or Wendy's for healthy, there really is no other way to say it, you are a moron. You go to those places because you want what they have and it has been very clear for a long time, they are not healthy choices.

  Eating healthy comes down to so much more than whether you have a fast food burger/hot dog occasionally. Personally, I think the unhealthiest thing about a burger is the bun or the fries and soda that usually come with it. Very few fast food places have any healthy sides to go with their non-kids meals, which is kind of a shame.

I have a disgraceful addiction to gas station steamed hotdogs[1], haha. Two dogs and a coffee is still cheaper and better-tasting than any breakfast sandwich deal when you're eating garbage fast food for breakfast.

Sonic has had hot-dogs as a major component of their menus for some time. Probably Dairy Queen and A+W don't qualify as "large chains" but they also have had hot-dogs as menu mainstays.
