-Hey guys! Welcome to Make It Dairy Free. I am Larisha.
-I am Andrew and today we are testing like 50,000 hot dogs.
-We are testing seven -And Field Roast is our number one.
-and that is the number one. We're just getting straight to the point?
-Yeah that's it. -It's gonna be a short video?
-Video's over. Mic drop. -That's it just Field Roast is the number
one? -Hot dog drop.
-Okay so we are going to be testing seven different vegan hot dogs including the brand
new Nathan's plant-based hot dog. -Yup.
-We are going to compare it all together on taste, texture, we will talk about price and
allergens. There will be a blog post linked in the description box below so check that
out for all of the details and store locators for each one.
-Hot dog drop.
I should have a hot dog um anything else that we're saying here before we hop into eating
these hot dogs? Field Roast is our number one. There's two different Field Roasts we
have today um but we will obviously identify which one of the Field Roast is our number
one -Yes
-But I am pretty excited to taste these but also really not excited because I've tasted
a few ve- , we have taste a few vegan hot dogs
-Yea -And uh not not many are that good.
-Yeah we do also want to just mention and acknowledge that this is not all of the vegan
hot dogs out there -Nope
-Um these are just the ones that were easily accessible to us plus the Nathan's um if you,
we did a whole video just on Nathan's on Monday so if you didn't watch that you can go check
that out we will link that in the description box below also.
-All right so we got these all cooked up -All seven of them. (Larisha laughing) I keep
forgetting how many we have. -I'm going to try to give a quick video so
they can kind of see what we have here as you kind of go over really quick.
-Yeah so we're going to start on this side and then work our way down. Um the first three
are soy based ones. So we are going to start with Lightlife um besides soy it also has
wheat inside of it um we did grill the soy ones instead of doing it in a skillet because
they recommended boiling the hot dogs and we don't do boiled hot dogs so
-Yeah I've eaten boiled hot dogs kind of way way way back in the day
-When your little had no choice in how you preferred your hot dog
-I just honestly no never again never again. -We also need a knife. All right so this is
Lightlife. It's like the easiest one to find. um this the Lightlife one uh this is the jumbo
version um but they also have like a regular version and they're much smaller they barely
fit in the hot dog bun -As in like skinnier?
-No they're like shorter -Oh okay so jumbo just means like longer or
does it mean like fatter? -It's both
-Oh okay cool -okay
-the, have I tasted this one? -Yes
-Okay I'm not excited about this then. -All right go.
(music playing) -The skin on the outside of it is like tough.
-okay -When you're chewing and there's just an overall
taste to Lightlife hot dogs that aren't uh a hot dog taste does that make any sense
-yes it does make sense. I do not, I'm not a fan. It's I don't I don't think anything's
wrong with the texture. I think literally for me it's just the flavor even like the
skin thing you mentioned for me it's just pure flavor I'm just not a fan of it.
-It's one of the like the softer ones right like it it doesn't have much of like a firmness.
-Texture doesn't bother me at all on that one at all to be honest
-All right moving on uh these are Soy Boy's Not Dogs.
(music playing)
-uh uh
-(inaudible: What is wrong with this one?)
-It tastes fruity
-(inaudible)
-You're not a finger? -I'm trying to finish it.
-Oh here, swallow. Does it taste fruity to you?
-Tastes like i was just like chewing on a hibiscus leaf. (Larisha laughs)
-Yeah that was weird. um the texture isn't necessarily bad. It's the taste is bad though.
-Absolutely -huh
-hmm -that's weird okay
(Larisha laughing)
-What happened? -It had to happen to at least one of them
right? Do you see how though the texture on this one like it's not just like flat. There's
like texture to it. Sorry this is Tofurkey. So Tofurkey is soy based. um it does also
have wheat inside of it and that's all for the top eight.
-Smells doggy -doggy?
-Yeah hot doggy -It does. Okay ready?
-Can we eat it now? -go. -okay
(music playing)
-I like the texture -this tastes like tofu
-I like this one -I don't mind it but it does
taste like tofu the after middle during the
whole thing -I don't get that
-No? -I taste hot
dog -flavor is hot dog but the texture and
some of that taste that you get from like knowing that you're eating tofu like i could
close my eyes and you could feed me this and i would know for a fact it was made from tofu
-Hmm. but I really like this one -Yes the flavor
is pretty good on this one it's not bad at
all it's uh it is kind of soft though. -I I
would agree there. All right. This is Upton's
Up Dogs. The name Up Dog really.. we'll talk about that later. Um
-Huh? -This contains gluten and
no other top eight allergens. -I was about to
eat it without you for a second there. - it's
okay -I had to think about it.
-All right go -so you just gonna eat it without me.
-I said
go
Okay so
immediately I'm going to say I guess we like gluten-based hot dogs. I'm not even hearing
your opinion on this yet and I'm just saying this. um because I automatically like this
one better than the other soy ones. -Okay
-Even though this has wheat inside of it.
-You do?
-I I do. You don't? -I'm I'm in between. Right
now, Tofurkey's kind of high on my list and
this one is like ehhh. Like if I had to choose between each one of these, price would probably
be the differential uh differentiating factor for me.
-yeah -but no I don't I don't immediately
like this more because I bought, I bit into this one and then there was like uh the skin
was like like almost like a crispy type of skin before I got to the rest of it,
-Yeah so
this one has like a snap to me that I kind of like but I like the flavor of the Tofurky
one more. -uh-huh
-The seasoning I guess you would say.
-Okay when you say that I'm I'm right
there with you. okay um i said i'm not sure about the name up dog because when i hear
upton's up dog i think like up chuck like you throw up oh that is gross i didn't want
to say that and then no so why not wait till we're done i forgot all about it
all right do the next cutting let's not let's wait wait till we know we like this one let's
let's hold off on this guy no throw him in in the middle no come on all right i'm not
gonna bite mine you could bite yours this is the one no you have to try it this is the
field roast classic smoked plant-based frankfurters this is the one that we said in the intro
that we believe is our favorite one um this one does contain where are the ingredients
wheat um no other top eight allergens um inside of it boom now all right we can go right into
it now all right this is the regular classic field roast uh-huh regularly that is our number
one it's classic spill roast wait i couldn't even get that
do you still feel like you like that over the other ones yep absolutely flavor though
i gotta say tofurkey is comparing a bit in the flavor category but in terms of everything
else nope this one hits it is it weird that tasting the tofurky one after trying that
one i don't i don't know anymore take it taste a little piece of it
like i get the more tofu taste now i guess i still have the same taste okay this one
immediate again i'll choose this one off above this any day my favorite still yeah all right
so this next one um is the darkest one out of all of them um like it's oh like i don't
know if you guys can see how dark that is like if it's coming across on the camera um
but you want me to want me to show them super dark i'll give you just like in comparison
to another one um but so this is from my knowledge this is a new one um so this is field rose
right there signature stadium dogs so they are much skinnier like you would get at a
i guess a ball game it's much more comparable to the nathan's one we tried earlier thinness-wise
they're giving this back to me i don't know okay um this one does contain wheat as far
as top eight allergens but this one does also contain pea protein so keep that in mind if
you can't have that all right ready yup i'm ready okay
i don't think i like it as much i don't like it as much as the regular filler roast this
one tastes a little bit like a burger shaped into a hot dog yeah but like a not good burger
that's literally what it reminds me of those legendary burgers and a hot dog yeah yeah
that's a good comparison thank you all right so nathan these are the nathan's hot dogs
they are top eight free um they do contain pea protein and sunflower and this is the
one that we tried in monday's video and we are comparing them now to the rest of them
so can nathan's stack up all right let's see what happens ready come on neat dog go
wow no
okay it's still just as hard yeah so if you didn't watch monday's video you should um
but if you didn't um you should we compared it to the texture of like biting into a carrot
hot dog but if the carrots not cooked all the way yet yeah um it they to me we're going
for a firmness um and it's just too firm i will say that the color of the nathan's one
is the closest that i remember a hot dog being yeah yeah we said that we said that downstairs
in the kitchen mean you um um but yeah it's it's the one that you would actually mistake
for an actual like not vegan hot dog right you know an actual hot dog this is the one
that somebody would take off of a grill if you were at like a cookout and you would be
mad because they took your really expensive vegan hot dogs and then you find out that
they threw it in the trash yeah so like you're even more mad yeah um but the texture is still
one of the better ones not texture the taste the hot dog when we're talking about hot dog
taste yeah flavors yeah they did a really good job with the flavors on that but the
texture i wouldn't again i don't like the texture of the these soy ones okay tofurkey
did a really good job um but i would not put it again up ahead of any of the other field
roasts or upton's does that make sense nathan's right now is in the middle of the six is what
you're saying yeah okay so if i had to rank these right this second you do okay so it
would be field roast okay this one okay then it would be upton's okay then it would be
tofurky then it would be this field rose then it would be nathan's and then
light life and then soyboy that would be my eight seven one two three four seven okay
right so one two three four five no one two three four five six seven huh okay what about
you
i would just say top three for me okay um
number one is definitely the field rose classic smoked one um so that's definitely number
one number two for me although
although i like these a tad bit better on the flavor i didn't necessarily mind this
so much that i wouldn't eat it like it still had the same hot dog texture as this the flavor
just reminded me of something that was probably cooked too close to like a hamburger so it
has more of a hamburger taste i get that like that's that's all it did so for me technically
this is still before i go to any of the other ones but then right after that i would go
most likely like it would be a toss-up for me it's a tie with the tofurky and the other
we'll try i'm back to back i did oh you did yeah yeah when you when you said that i i
thought i did maybe i didn't i i don't know but i don't i don't like the i like the skin
that's on this thing like the skin on this one and yeah the skin on it was a little weird
for me and the flavor of it wasn't wasn't as good as the um tofurky one but you gotta
think we taste this one then taste that one so it is pretty much back to back right oh
yeah true so so you would go field rose field rose tie between upton's and tofurkey yep
and then after that i would go nathan's um and then one out of these two would be your
preference i really didn't like that silly boy one so that that's just not in the in
the lineup so we both agree that soyboy is at the bottom unfortunately yeah i i had high
hopes for them too why i don't know i i just like the name soy soyboy but i have no idea
why all right so let's talk about price and see if that changes your mind because it always
changes your mind nathan's aside none of the ones that we bought in an actual store are
above six dollars okay so immediately off the bat i don't think that there's anything
gonna change your mind because six dollars for a pack of vegan hot dogs is nothing right
yeah okay so just price the set we're just going to start here so light life is 3.29
that is the cheapest package okay these are also the most widely available along with
the field roast that we've seen got it um soy boy is 3.99 tofurkey is also 3.99 so the
soy ones are the cheaper ones the upton's one goes to 5.49 these field roasts are four
or sorry 549 then 5.99 and then the nathan's ones are three dollars per hot dog got it
and it you have to buy a pack of 12. so it's 40 dollars yeah you're obviously that day
that doesn't come back into the lineup at all that kind of just it's just there if you
are interested in the hot dog um but in in terms of you know in terms of what we have
here i i still would pay the price for this yeah like all day like i i like this a lot
right i will say that the benefit that nathan's has is that it is the only top eight free
hot dog so if you can't do soy you can't do wheat um you there is still a hot dog option
it is still made with pea protein if you can't have that though there's a so there's a hot
dog available for you you just also have to have money for it yeah because it's pricey
all right it was there is there anything we didn't discuss nope okay um if why um if i
if you guys have tried any of the oh my god what
this video is not gonna be that long proceeds to play with the hot dogs um stop you're gonna
hit me in my face oh my god you're such a little kid okay refocus if you guys have tried
