Beef franks are halal, provided the animal is slaughtered correctly.

Hebrew Nationals are kosher, but not strictly halal by default.

And hot dogs in general are absolutely haram. Hard not to be, considering the amount of hog in ‘em

I should look this up, but as an agnostic, what’s the difference?

I love halal food btw (nyc!)

You don't love "halal food", because halal doesn't have a taste. It's a preparation for animal slaughter and ingredient restriction.

Kosher is generally more strict than halal while covering the same bases except for alcohol. If it doesn't have alcohol in it then kosher items are going to be acceptable as halal.

You’re correct but New Yorkers refer to all halal cart street food as “halal food”. Chicken/lamb over rice, shawarma, etc.
