What condiments go on a hot dog in your neck of the woods??
 

In Chicago a hot dog has mustard, onions and relish. Sport peppers are a likely possibility. A classy place may have a pickle and a tomato.

We would never put catchup on a hot dog. If any one asks for it they are either a tourist or not raised very well. Asking for catchup goes a long way to explain the high homicide rate here. ;)

The best hotdogs are made by Vienna. :)

What goes on a hot dog where you live?

tongue :p

Hey, now, let's keep this family friendly.:D

A good brown mustard. Suggestion: You might get more feedback if you move the topic to the dining forum.

Yuzukoshō

(Give it a go).

Ketchup, and available.. Tomatoes. :)

Never, ever, catsup. It kills the taste of the dog. Trulym

Layered in this order:

Mustard
Ketchup/Catsup
Sweet Relish
Diced Onions.

The mustard MUST be the first layer, touching the hot dog. This is an imperative.

Yellow mustard, onions, maybe relish.

Confession: I'm vegetarian, so it ain't a real hot dog.

For my mother and I, mustard and relish.


For everybody else I know, mustard, onions, coleslaw, chili, cheese - and for some jalapeño peppers.

A hot dog made any other way than described simply isn't a dog. Some places also add a bit of celery salt.

But ketchup on a dog is like cheeseless pizza, or a tofu hamburger. Sacrilege!

Right ingredients, but ketchup has to be first.

French's yellow mustard with or without sauerkraut

I don't know what "condimenets" are but in my view no one should ever attempt to put any condoms on a hot dog whatever neck of the woods they are in.

At least wait until it cools down.

Various combos but most often,
spicy mustard and sweet relish
- add to the above onions or jalapenos
chili with or without onions

and the dog should be grilled not steamed.

Especially the mint ones.



I'll always start with mustard, preferably brown if available. Then it can be onions, relish, chili, sauerkraut, depending on what's available/where I'm eating. Ketchup is for the kids (though it must be Heinz - wth is "catsup"). At home, I'm usually lazy and just go with brown mustard spiked with peppers.

In the context of hot dogs, I consider bacon a condiment :p Add on grilled onions and mustard, and you have the perfect drunk food after a night out in the Mission district.

I respect your right to freestyle your hot dog condiments in your order of preference. Go in peace and keep your standards high.

The Chicago dog works great for me without the phosphorescent green relish. Otherwise, a simple dog will have dill pickle spears, minced onion, and yellow mustard. Cole slaw or a bit of Swiss cheese can be good too. Sauerkraut maybe once in a while, but I prefer that on brats. Of course no-bean chili and chopped onion is always good. Never EVER ketchup or mayo. Those are for hamburgers. And I agree, the Vienna Beef hot dog is one of the best skinless dogs out there.

Teriyaki sauce and mayonnaise with a touch of seaweed is good.

So is miso and cabbage combo

This afternoon I had a bratwurst with Dijon and sweet mayonnaise.

I don't think any of the Chicagoans mentioned the steamed Mary Ann poppy seed bun. :confused:

Born and raised Chicago and Central on Chicago's west side in the 50's. In addition to what was already mentioned, our $1. dogs always came with pickle, tomato and ketchup, and never celery salt.

This no ketchup thing is as bogus as Chicago's deep dish pizza.

Pan pizza never existed, is a new creation, and from my experience, is currently only eaten by tourist and young transplants from Dominos dominated pizza lands of Ohio, Kentucky, Iowa, Indiana....

You know, the people that don't like ginger on their Yakisoba.

Has anyone found a deep dish pizza joint outside of the loop, near north, Lincoln Park... transplant areas?

And whether you put ketchup on your dog or not was inconsequential.

Now.. if we're talking about the "Chicago Style Depression Dog" simple mustard, onions maybe relish and a sport pepper, of course Ketchup wouldn't work.

But really, think about it, if you're going for a simple sausage, brat type thing, what difference does a bit of Ketchup make after adding, sugared relish, salad tomato, soggy pickle and a hot pepper?

Granted, now days, with my fancy sophisticated pallet, I usually keep ketchup off my dogs, but never, ever, ever was it an issue in the neighborhoods that served full "garden" type Chicago dogs.

Adding Ketchup seems trivial compared to all that other "junk" messing up a good sausage especially compared to the real crime of adding sour cream, tomato and lettuce on a perfectly designed Tacos Carne Asada made with cilantro, onion, lime maybe radish and chile sauce.

Coleslaw. With added mustard and/or mayonnaise optional.

ketchup onions and cheese.

that said, I eat them once in a blue moon since they aren't commonly available here.

In CLE, Ballpark mustard. That is all I use.

Yes my only recollections of eating hot dogs in the UK were as a kid when I visited a carnival or some public event where they had food vans. Used to assemble my own though, quick and easy food when away camping.

They're quite popular here as they're relatively cheap (God only knows what's in them) although they don't come with onions which is a shame. As I like them with either mustard or tomato ketchup I tend to put both on.
I don't eat them a lot maybe a few times a year.

I'll only eat Hebrew National. Once I had a vegan dog, oy vegh it was awful!

Absolutely! ^

As a Chicagoan, I like the dog dragged through the garden as much as anyone, but on Kauai, at Puka Dog, it's with the hot secret garlic sauce, banana relish and lilikoi mustard!

But vots the schmear?

Das schmear iz Ballpark mustard!

I used to put ketchup on but Mrs. Fredd persuaded me it was as inappropriate as earlier posters suggest. :D

She likes cooked onions (not saying that onions are exactly condiments) and I love raw onions, a taste sensation I first discovered as a kid at a hot dog stand in Pike Place Market on a gloomy October day in 1954. :)

Yellow mustard is all we add otherwise.

Afterthought: work2ly in the following post jogged my memory. Yes to sauerkraut as well. ^

The best mustard for a hot dog ^

I'm personally partial to either sauerkraut and mustard or chili, grated cheese and minced onion.

In Chicago, your traditional Chicago hot dog with all of the fixings.

In Sweden, with sweet/spicy mustard and fried onions (if available). It should also be noted that the hot dog is traditionally longer than length of the bun.

In the US excluding Chicago, with BBQ sauce.

I like Merkt's cheddar. I cannot stand "Chicago style."

From a great modern philosopher: "Nobody, I mean nobody, puts ketchup on a hot dog..." :)

This brings up an interesting point and potential tangent. Around here we can get them steamed, grilled, split and griddled, deep fried and some kind of abomination usually found in gas station convenience stores that involves a rolling rack.

I prefer mine steamed with sauerkraut or split and griddled with vegetarian chili.

my go to hot dog spot here in Houston - http://gooddogfoodtruck.com/menu/ I usually end up with the Ole Zapata and the Sunshine dog, IF I make hot dogs at home it's usually yellow mustard and possibly cheese, if I get wild I'll throw some chili on there. I thought cream cheese on a hot dog was nuts, but it's hilariously good and if you're in Houston try gooddog as you will not be disappointed

I prefer to have mine grilled, unless it is a dirty water dog from a cart.
Otherwise, I dress up my weiner with sauerkraut and brown mustard, or onions in tomato sauce and brown mustard, or relish and brown mustard, or chili and brown mustard.
Never ever with tomatos, lettuce, pickle spears, raw onions, etc.
