I compared the most popular food court items from both warehouse clubs—here’s the verdict.
The price of Costco's most famous food court item—the seemingly inflation-proof $1.50 hot dog combo—hasn't changed a single cent since 1985. But the frankfurter itself has undergone some modifications. Costco dropped its original supplier, Hebrew National, and began producing its own Kirkland Signature brand of hot dogs over a decade ago.
The beefy one I tried in Edison measured nearly nine inches long and weighed a hefty 6.7 ounces inside its bun—well over its quarter-pound billing. The reddish dog arrived juicy, smoky and a little chewy. Its soft texture lacked the snap of a more taut casing. I requested chopped onions but this location had none to give out quite yet.The hot dog at Sam's Club is priced lower than its rival at $1.38. You also seem to get a little less hot dog in return.
For the purposes of this comparison, I chose the plain slice at both stores. This reduces the popular foodstuff to its most basic elements: crust, sauce, and cheese. In a lot of ways, the slices at Costco and Sam's looked almost identical, both with beautifully browned cheese on top.Each slice weighed in at over nine ounces on its respective plate, with Costco edging a little heavier by just a few decimals.
The most noticeable difference is the crust. Costco's crust is puffy, soft, and doughy, while Sam's is thinner and crispier. With so much else being nearly equal, the optional toppings really become the deciding factor.
