Favorite Hot Dog Fixins?
This weekend I experienced a culinary first: a hot dog slathered in peanut butter and topped with crumbled bacon. They call it a "King Dog" al la Elvis. Not as bad as it sounds, but not my top dog.
Got me thinking...what's the strangest/best combo you've had on a dog?

I've topped a dog with pineapple-mango salsa and enjoyed it.
My hands-down favorite dog topping is chili & slaw.
I'm not sure I want to get into peanut butter or caviar or anything too outrageous. Make it a good dog like Hebrew National or Nathan's and I want to taste the "meat" and seasonings of the sausage itself.

Chicago style...all the way. With the radioactive green relish, the pickle spear, the tomatoes, and the celery salt. DELICIOUS.
Chili-cheese-kraut dogs come in at a close second
.
Also, the bacon wrapped hot dogs they serve as drunk food in the Mission in SF are amazing.

chicago style all the way! we have a place here in SD called Chicago On a Bun and it's awesome! I'm hooked on the things.
If I can't get that, then the standard relish/mustard/ketchup works fine for me.

No single recipe can be appropriate for every occasion (or climate)...
The Classic: Chopped Onions, Brown Mustard and Sweet Relish (or Ms. Renfro's Hot Chow Chow).
No Fritos available for Frito Pie: Chili (no beans), chopped onion, Sharp Cheddar, Hot sauce to taste.
The Bohunk: "Half Smoked" or "Polish" dog, Stone Ground Mustard and Kraut
The Czech: Yellow Mustard, Chopped Onions and Slaw (not the nasty sweet kind)
The MidRat: Dogs chopped in quarter inch rounds heated in Chili and served in a big dollop over half a toasted hamburger bun, topped with grated sharp Cheddar and chopped onions
The real debate arises when folks come to blows over...
Grilled or pan-sauteed to skin-splitting goodness with a little char.
Steamed to swollen Wiener-importance
Invented only 95 miles up the road but a case of depraved indifference to both hot dogs and cornbread, the "Corn Dog", a degenerate mutant.

At Home: Spicy mustard and onions, or just spicy mustard if I'm feeling lazy.
In Chicago: Chicago Style!
But my new favorite...
In Boston: Speed's Hot Dogs! It's a half pound knockwurst, marinated in apple cider and brown sugar, grilled over charcoal, served on a grilled bun, topped with a perfect combination of mustards, chili, a special sauce, relish, onions, and more.

It's the bun
My taste in hot dogs is fairly ordinary; ketchup, mustard, sweet relish, onions will usually satisfy. However, the New England style hot dog bun really puts it over the top for me. I usually get a few packages whenever I am in the New England area and bring them home with me. I have been known to buy an inexpensive suitcase to check filled with the epitome of hot dog buns! My wife knows that when I head east that we will have hot dogs the day after I get home. Grilled and slightly charcoalled.

When I make hot dogs they are usually the 1/4 lb. Hebrew National beef variety. I don't have a bun preference, but it does have to be a bun...not a piece of sliced bread. 
My sides are mustard, ketchup, sweet pickle relish (non-radioactive, please), chopped onions, chili (usually Wolf canned w/o beans), and topped with shredded sharp cheddar.
So, not too out of the ordinary, except that it usually has to be eaten with a knife and fork.
