The Varsity or Skin's


Sep 20, 2018, 7:01 PM

Which place do you think has better hot dogs?

Living here in Atlanta, I like The Varsity but do think I like Skin's slightly better - always go there when I'm in Clemson or Greenville.

Mr. Skin Thrasher....The finest chef ever produced in the Electric City(Anderson SC).

Thrasher's... True story... The wife is doing Dental Asst. class back in the '80s... The girls go to Skin's down at Whitner St. That evening, she is telling my 80-something Grandmother about the new place they had found to eat.. She was CRUSHED when my MEME said.." MNN,MNN,MNN.. That's not a place you want to go"... Why? Skin would serve 2 BEERS MAXIMUM...You were a good soul, MEME...

Weird fact. Got married in Rome, GA 50 years ago. Drove

to Atlanta in order to fly out the next morning for our honeymoon. Our first meal together as a married couple was at the Varsity.

Skins. Hands down. Great place for a student on a budget. 2 hot dogs with a bag of Fritos and glass bottled coke. I miss those days and that place off the beaten path in Atown

Although it's been a while, I've had both


Sep 20, 2018, 7:34 PM

A Varsity hot dog is equivalent to what you would buy at a 7-11. Maybe not even as good.

Heavy chilli dog from Varsity will rock your world for about 3 days!

Skins without a doubt. Their chili is very good and nowhere near as greasy as the Varsity's.

More than just a hot dog

Re: The Varsity or Skin's


Sep 20, 2018, 8:45 PM

honestly, the hot dogs at The Cheetah rival pretty much any establishment in town.

Skin’s. Varsity food is barely edible.

Re: The Varsity or Skin's

I have NEVER understood why people liked Skins. The dogs have no flavor. They're like eating water tubes.

Never had the Varsity.

Nothing special about either one. I prefer Nathan's steamed in Coors.

Go to 7-11, Circle K, Kangaroo, or Tiger Mart.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.


Costco....they have the best dog


Sep 21, 2018, 4:06 AM

Until I tried that one...i was starting to hate them all.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It’s all a matter of preference. The V is an iconic


Sep 21, 2018, 5:14 AM

landmark in ATL. If you like greasy food and need a good clean out, the V is your place.

The Original Skins has always been good, but I agree with the above poster that said they have no flavor. It takes a good bit of the salt, pepper, and Tabasco on the table to get the dog just right.

One of my favorites back in the day was Sam’s Corner in Garden City, SC. Jack’s Cosmic Dogs in Mt. Pleasant has great hot dogs as well.

Still hard to beat a home grilled hot dog with all your own fixings on a hot summer day, though.

Great Thread here...I consider myself a bit of a Hot Dog connoisseur, so I'm happy to jump in here.

To answer the original question...Skins all day, hands down.

however.....

There are some other good options, my favorite being Holmes Hot Dogs in Spartanburg...Very similar to Skins....I like their chili better, and they have french fries instead of just chips.

And also, if you're ever in Charlotte, go to Pinky's Westside Grill...they have a few locations, but we always go to the one near Bank of America Stadium....get the Pimiento Cheese Chili dog. You will thank me later.

Happy Hot Dogging!

After 20 years away from Clemson, I still haven’t found


Sep 21, 2018, 10:22 AM

a hot dog as good as Skins.

I’ve never been to The Varsity in Atlanta, but nothing in the Raleigh area compares to Skins.

Snoopy’s is pretty good, but they're not Skins.

And, no ... The Roast Grill does not have great hot dogs.

Skin's, hands down. I don't even know what Skins is, but the Varsity just makes me go weak in the sphincter.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Skins. And Zack's in Burlington, NC.***

Brad Brownell: Only Larry freaking Shyatt has a WORSE overall winning percentage among Clemson basketball coaches since 1975. Let that sink in. It's Larry Shyatt & then Brad Brownell.
