SONIC’s Chicago Hot Dog and New York Hot Dog both list 400 kcal in this brochure. Their sodium figures are 2,030 mg and 1,110 mg respectively. A calorie tie therefore leaves a meaningful ordering question unanswered.
Compare recipes, not just hot-dog size
The Regular Hot Dog lists 360 kcal, 12 g protein and 800 mg sodium. The All-American Hot Dog lists 410 kcal, 13 g protein and 1,150 mg. These are named builds with different nutrient totals; the table does not turn the extra sodium into an exact value for relish, mustard or another individual topping.
The Chicago versus New York difference is 920 mg sodium while listed protein differs by 2 g. If you use an illustrative 1,200 mg sodium ceiling, the Chicago row fails it while the other three qualify. That ceiling is an example search setting, not a personal recommendation.
Check the availability marks
Some of these entries carry a symbol in the source for optional availability. A record in a nationwide brochure does not promise that every location offers it. Confirm the named build rather than ordering a similarly described item and copying the figure.
Add the rest separately
Drinks and side portions are absent from this table. A hot dog and a full combination meal are different comparisons. Use the recorded hot dog as one component and add documented extras if they are part of your plan. Sodium here is reported in milligrams, not grams of salt.
