Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted January 28, 2006 [04:59] pardon miasma: you gotta get the Chicago-style dogs, too [04:59] opiatefilm: what's the difference? [04:59] pardon miasma: What's the difference? [05:00] pardon miasma: There's a world of difference [05:00] pardon miasma: I wrote an essay junior year about this shit [05:00] opiatefilm: on hot dogs? [05:01] pardon miasma: my search for the perfect one on New Year's Eve '02 [05:01] opiatefilm: oh man [05:02] pardon miasma: ok. Vienna Beef hot dog (this is important, it has to be 100% beef) with mustard, diced onions, sweet relish, tomato slices, sport peppers (again!), pickle spear, celery salt, on a poppy-seed bun [05:03] opiatefilm: Vienna Beef? I'd go with Hebrew National and no onions, but otherwise yeah I like it so far [05:03] pardon miasma: Vienna Beef is our hometown brand [05:04] pardon miasma: conspicuous by its absence is ketchup [05:04] pardon miasma: which proved to be the major conflict of my narrative [05:04] pardon miasma: You don't put it on. [05:04] pardon miasma: You don't ask for it. [05:04] pardon miasma: I've personally witnessed this error. [05:05] pardon miasma: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketchup_on_hot_dogs This is entirely accurate. [05:07] pardon miasma: So make sure you avoid that potential faux pas. [05:09] opiatefilm: mustard is more popular than ketchup? well I'll be damned. [05:09] opiatefilm: I don't really fancy ketchup much anyways [05:09] pardon miasma: Some people just put ketchup and that's it [05:09] pardon miasma: antithesis of a Chicago dog [05:10] opiatefilm: my god I didn't know there was a whole cultural thing about it [05:10] pardon miasma: haha [05:10] pardon miasma: oh yes [05:11] pardon miasma: we take the time to create our own version of the hot dog, we're gonna enforce it dammit [05:14] opiatefilm: I had made this monstrosity quite often in high school, where it'd be loaded with ranch, cheese, bacon, mayo, and mustard [05:14] pardon miasma: whoa [05:15] opiatefilm: Okay, I think this needs to be made into a food folder thread.

Slayer 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2006 I've seen this on some Food Network specials where they interview Chicago hot dog vendors and they're so adamantly anti-ketchup you'd think it raped their mom or something... Hell, I would buy a bottle of ketchup then go to random Chicago hot dog stands, just holding the bottle out in the open, watching them recoil as vampires to a cross Anyways, I love ketchup on my hotdog, so fuck a bunch of Chicago on that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2006 I usually do: ketchup (OMG NO!~) hot dog relish (mustard/relish) onions And I do my not so world famous double hot dog where you split one hot dog down the middle and put the 2nd one in the grove so that 2 hot dogs fit in 1 bun. I hate chili dogs because there is no clean way to eat one unless you wuss out and eat it with a fork on a plate. I also hate sauerkraut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2006 Mustard, Kreut, Diced Onions, Relish on my dog. I also like Polish Dogs, Hebrew National(Kosher), among others besides a standard hot dog. The last few years the Oakland A's have hosted $2 ticket night and $1 hotdog night every wednesday homegame. I guess that is one advantage of having such a crappy fanbase.

You win points with me by using the term "dirty water dog". I used that term for some time now to describe vendor hot dogs and people would always look at me like I'm crazy.

What kind of mustard, though? I'm not particularly fond of that French's bright yellow shit. Me personally: Dill relish, light ketchup, polish mustard, a shit-ton of onions. I'm going to have to try it with tomato slices now, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Tom 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2006 Ketchup is indeed the pits. I don't like it in general, and haven't used it on hot dogs in years. Mustard, onions, and dill relish is where it's at. If I want a second sauce, I use BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Ray's only). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
