Oh yum. I haven't had a corndog in years! When I lived in Canada, I remember buying some frozen ones there. Here in Australia though, I haven't seen such a thing.
I think this is the case with most foods/sandwiches for me. I like to make vegan Big Macs. I could leave off the burger altogether. Most times I sub with a chickn patty but it’s the vegan special sauce, lettuce, cheeze, pickles, onions in a sesame seed bun.
I'm the same usually. I think that is why I like the McPlant so much as all the other things on the burger make it taste like how I remember a meat burger tasting.

I had vegan hot dogs already, when I was vegetarian many years ago, while with others at their hot dog event, bringing those with me, I might have had them since, but they were not something so much that I wanted to keep having them. It can be great for those quitting meat and wanting meat still. But I was over meat already, even then. I used natural things like beans a lot, and did not use anything like meat still, and didn't miss it. But I think it is funny, I never had even carrot dogs. I had not heard of doing that with carrots, until very much later. And I could still try, yet I never have. I think I should get around to it, and have what clearly many other vegans have had, certainly before the faux meat hot dogs, but since those too. I will have to plan to do that. I use carrots, but in other ways for food. I just realized it was important to say for food, too.
So many seem to love carrot dogs I've made them three times, each a different way. 
I like carrots a lot--as them selves. I don't even use any seasoning outside of salt, maybe some pepper and rosemary if having them as a side dish
I do love the Gentle Chefs recipe, and may make them again this weekend with proper baked beans (as in don't add fresh garlic
)

I like the LightLife vegan hot dogs, but sometimes they don't settle well in my stomach. I usually pan fry them, rather than boil them. Aldi had a decent vegan hot dog, but I haven't seen them this summer. I don't really miss them since I started making vegan sausages. I much prefer those to the hot dogs. I load them up with mustard and onions or sauerkraut and onions.
Try this recipe as written (I do like a teasp of no beef BTB). It's amazing. My son hated hot dogs but liked these
Gentle Chef Ballparks - Vegan Franks - The Gentle Chef
I’m pleased to present my signature recipe and technique for creating plant-based jumbo franks which remarkably resemble a classic hot dog texture, color and flavor. Ballparks are high in plant-based protein, low in fat, and with no starch fillers, gels or gums. A food processor is required for...

I can tolerate most vegan "hot dogs." To me they are mostly like globs of tofu and some sauce, seasoning or vegan cheese can spice them up. I treat them mostly like a flavorless base. That said, they are easy to burn out on if eaten too frequently.
One thing I do know: I cannot imagine eating a real hot dog ever again. I haven't had one in maybe 20 years and I never plan to partake again. Just the thought makes me a little queasy. Luckily, that shouldn't ever be a problem I will ever face. For example: "Eat this real hot dog or you'll never see this hamster again!!" Probably won't happen.

When I have faux meat, very rarely, it is for use in a recipe, but that is not often. It is never hot dogs, then, so I just don't get anything for that. Meat hot dogs are just about the grossest of meats, from what is left to use. A very long time ago when I was very much younger hot dogs were desirable, but not now.
I used to love hot dogs in my younger years, despite the questionable ingredients. So when I went vegan the options were just horrible. I just learned to live without them. It was better than a tofu dog which I found disgusting and still do. I love tofu, but tofu hog dogs are gross.
Anyhow, they have come a long ways in improving vegan hot dogs in the last little while. I love faux meats, and not just for the odd recipe. Soy curls in particular I am addicted to. I have been using them frequently since discovering them. I'm not really sure they qualify as a faux meat. Nonetheles, their meaty texture is undeniable.
Field Roast Stadium dogs are my new fav, although somewhat expensive. I love them all around, for both texture and flavour. I do like The Very Good Butcher's vegan dogs, but they are somewhat fragile to handle and cook.
I don't eat hot dogs often, but I do enjoy them on occasion. The Stadium dogs could pretty well fool a non-vegan. They nailed it, imho, where most other brands I've tried wouldn't come close to fooling a meat eater. It's all about the texture and flavour in my opinion.
