Chicago-style hot dogs are an abomination

Post by zombiesonics »

And this coming from someone who loves Chicago deep dish, so I’m not biased against Chi-town.

What the FUCK is this?

I order it without the tomato and sport peppers. I like pickles so I take out pickle spear and eat it separately and then am left with just the mustard, onions, and relish to go to pound town with.

The hot dog is topped with yellow mustard, chopped white onions, bright green sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices or wedges, pickled sport peppers (a variety of Capsicum annuum), and a dash of celery salt

Eh... the best Chicago Hot Dog joints (like Jimmy's on Grand or Gene & Jude's in River Grove) make their dogs with mustard, relish, onion and 2 sport peppers. In fact the only places where I've seen the dogs served with tomato, pickle, etc is chains like Portillos.

IMO what makes a hot dog "Chicago style" is the 100% Vienna beef that's used AND no ketchup... steamed just right there is NOTHING better (including Nathan's). How else you top the dog is your preference.

You should try a Seattle dog. Cream cheese, caramelized onions, jalapeños, mustard

I don't like ketchup on a dog.
Ketchup is a child’s condiment. Mustard FTW. Especially spicy brown, or coarse German.
I almost never have a dog, but a home made LA street dog can be pretty good. I say homemade because normal street dogs while delish, are questionable in what brand of dog is used.
Beef hot dog wrapped in bacon and grilled. Brown mustard, bbq sauce, dill pickle chips, grilled onions.

I don't like having too many condiments bumping into each other like a bunch of dumb fucks.

I think the mathematical optimization point for ballpark food condiments is about 2.8-3.2 (95 percent confidence interval, point estimate = 3.01)

I am simple with my hot dogs.

Mustard alone is fine; diced onions are a good addition as well.

I've never done chili on a hot dog before but I am not opposed to the idea.
