Ketchup, mustard, and sweet relish is the only way to go. I will not argue about this, it is set in stone.

Ketchup is nasty on dawgs, can't belive how many votes it has, I thought only 13 year olds liked that crap.

Have you ever tried quality ketchup? So many people I know only have used the cheap stuff that places like McDonalds put in packets (tomato - vinegar - salt, and nothing else.) A gormet ketchup full of visible spices can be very good. Food TV has run several episodes on gormet ketchups - and all those recepies are really good.

You're a freak!!!!!

Where's:
Chilli
Onions
Cheese
Relish
Mayonaise

As for the question: NO KETCHUP, ever. I'll send it back, rudely, if it does.

Putting ketchup on a hot dog should be a capital offense.

edit: I like mine with spicy mustard (preferably that kind with a touch of horseradish), onions, relish, and (if available) sauerkraut. :)

off the top of my head, you missed the poppy seed toasted bun, sport peppers, and celery salt. I think I forgot something as well. It's been a while since I had a chicago dog. but I don't remember there being ketchup on it.

Well, thanks for the help. This answers my son's question. "Out of 100 people, how many do you think would say OK to ketchup on their hot dog?" Right now the poll says 66 people think it's OK, 34 people say no way.

I sent him an email with about 10 images and logos of hot dogs with mustard on them. I asked him to send me a picture of a hot dog with ketchup on it. He came up with three, which is more than I thought he'd be able to. He said in his search for the pictures, he came across a lot of info about this controversy. People in Chicago will shoot you for asking to put ketchup on a dog, while folks in PA slather it all over theirs. As was mentioned a couple times, younger people prefer ketchup, older ones mustard.

Now, on to the broiled or boiled embroilment... ;)

Mustard, Onions and Saurkraut.

If no Saurkraut, then Just Mustard and Onions.

If no Onions, then just Mustard.

fried or grilled. anything else is unacceptable. And I'm well aware of the fact that New York dogs are traditionally boiled.

You know, it's sad that we talk about hotdogs as if they're some sort of delicacy or something.

They're fscking nasty. :p

I do indulge occasionally though.

Yeah when I said salt technically its celery salt. A traditional one should have the sport peppers and sweet relish too, but after putting all that stuff on it's gettin a little overloaded. :)
