Speaking of Hot Dogs 🌭 What do You Like on Yours?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

I'm a chili cheese guy with a squirt of yellow mustard and some onions! 😋

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

1. Mostly just mustard.

But I've been known to go for chili and onions.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

3. Just mustard too if there is no chili! 😋

[irisblue]

2. I like Chicago Dogs(no salt) & chili HEAVY onions, light spicy brown mustard

And a listerine melt away after

[Floyd R. Turbo]

4. Yum! 😋

[Cuthbert Allgood]

5. If you have vegetarian dogs...

I'm a sucker for cole slaw.

Or brown mustard.

Or a Chicago dog (thought I'm a heretic and like dill relish over sweet relish).

A good chili dog is nothing to sneeze at either.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

7. Never had a veggie dog, but I'll try anything twice!

Love creamy slaw on dogs! 😋

[ginnyinWI]

24. They are good!

And you don't have to feel like you are giving yourself cancer by eating one.

Try Lightlife Jumbo Smart Dogs.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

27. Thanks!

[Codeine]

44. Veggie dog with mustard and diced onions

No more, no less. I'm easily pleased.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

67. Sometimes less is more.

If that were brown mustard, that sounds awesome.

[Catmusicfan]

6. depends on my my mood. but chilli cheese, ketup & relish,I have had hotdogs with coleslaw on them

[Floyd R. Turbo]

8. Fine choices all! 😋

[Catmusicfan]

25. also depends on the chilli too.

[OriginalGeek]

9. Really depends on my mood and level of fatigue

If I'm tired, mustard and relish is all I really need but I love a true Chicago dog (which is weird since individually I like not even half of those ingredients. But put them on a kosher hot dog and a poppy seed bun and they transform into magic in my mouth.)

Some days a can of Hormel chili (NO BEANS) and shredded cheddar cheese is good but I keep forgetting to try that with mustard. I will next time because that sounds good. I'd like to make chili for chili dogs but I've never gotten a pot of chili to last long enough to get to hot dogs.

Some day I'll get out west and see what's up with that Sonora dog business.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

14. When I make chili dogs at home I use Delores Chili Brick.

A number of restaurants and vendors use it instead of making chili in house!

Delores

[ImpeachTheGOP]

10. Sauerkraut and mustard.

Like any normal person. 😁

[Floyd R. Turbo]

15. My wife's fav!

[hunter]

45. Definitely sauerkraut...

... and mustard without question.

[saidsimplesimon]

11. Floyd, thank you

I am a chili, NO cheese, onion and mustard Chicago style dog lover. Today, I will settle for a healthy, delicious Greek Salad.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

17. But, but, but it's National Hot Dog Day! 🌭

Enjoy you salad!

[mythology]

12. Garlic toasted bun, cheese, yellow mustarrd and ketchup

[Floyd R. Turbo]

18. Nice! 😋

[csziggy]

42. This, but throw a slice of bacon on it. Maybe brown mustard rather than yellow. nt

[Miles Archer]

13. Chicago Dogs.

Many restaurants outside of Chicago cheat on the ingredients (good luck finding "neon green relish" or sport peppers in your local market).

BUT...you can get the Vienna Beef dogs online, as well as "Chicago Dog Kits" that have the poppyseed buns, neon green relish, sport peppers, celery salt and mustard...all you need to add are the tomatoes, onions and pickles.



http://www.viennabeef.com/chicago-style-hot-dog-kit

Chicago Style Hot Dog Kit 16 PACK
Our famous premium beef franks, topped the traditional Chicago way with all of the authentic stuff. Add your own tomato, onions, and pickle spears for the complete experience.

Includes:

1- 16 pack (6 inch 8 per lb.) Vienna® Beef Skinless Hot Dogs
2- 8 packs Poppy Seed Buns
1 Vienna® Sport Peppers (12 oz. Jar)
1 Vienna® Bright Green Relish (12 oz. Jar)
1 Vienna® Yellow Mustard (9 oz. Jar)
1 Vienna® Celery Salt (6 oz.)

[Paladin]

19. Outstanding! Thanks for posting. (nt)

[Floyd R. Turbo]

21. Nice to know. A local market sells everything for Chicago style, but the buns are shipped

frozen and they're always dried out.

[frazzled]

35. And don't forget: ingredients must be applied in a particular order

or it ain't a Chicago dog. (We sometimes go to the source for a quick lunch: the Vienna Beef Company cafeteria itself, where the dogs are two for $5, with fries and a drink, and the workers wear hairnets.) Anyway, the prescribed (and inviolable) order is:

1. bun, poppy seed required
2. dog, all beef Vienna only
3. yellow mustard
4. neon green relish
5. chopped raw onion
6. tomato wedges
7. dill pickle spear
8. celery salt

http://www.viennabeef.com/building-a-chicago-style-hot-dog

[Miles Archer]

47. I read that before I ever had my first Chicago Dog

Like I said, some places wing it, but I know the real deal.



ON EDIT...you missed the sport peppers (next to last, before the celery salt).

[Hassin Bin Sober]

60. Are you talking about the place on damen and Fullerton? Elston?

[frazzled]

61. Yes.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

62. I drive by it all the time. Been meaning to stop. Now I will for sure.

[CTyankee]

121. that sounds GREAT....now I'm gonna hafta have one...yumm

[Paladin]

16. Chicago, all the way. (nt)

[Floyd R. Turbo]

22. Good choice! 😋

[Yonnie3]

20. What ya got?

A bacon cheese dog needs mustard, not much else

Chili dog with onions and jalapeno slices. Jack cheese maybe.

An all the way foot long gets everything they've got and is eaten with knife and fork.

A Kosher beef dog with sauerkraut and maybe mustard and onions.

Life is too short for all the options!

Edit to add: Pigs in blankets - dip in thousand island dressing, or BBQ sauce

[Floyd R. Turbo]

23. You ain't wrong! 😋

[TreasonousBastard]

26. I'm easy-- whatever's around goes on the dog.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

29. Ah ha! 😋

[GeorgeGist]

28. From my Catholic grade school cafeteria experience ...

I still favor mustard, ketchup and relish. I know it's tacky

[Floyd R. Turbo]

31. Not tacky at all! 😋

[LisaM]

30. Mustard and onions. Occasionally dill (not sweet) pickle relish, usually not.

It kind of depends on the hot dog itself, too. If it's just a ballpark hotdog, sometimes I'll put a spare amount of ketchup on it.

I like coneys, too, but they are so filling I don't eat them much.

If it's a brat, I might add a little sauerkraut.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

32. Fine choices! 😋

[stonecutter357]

33. grilled with cricket dust seasoning ..

[Floyd R. Turbo]

34. Okay, that's a new one for me! 😁

[jpak]

36. Sriracha and hoisin sauce

just a little of each.

yum

[Floyd R. Turbo]

37. Now that sounds good! 😋

[WePurrsevere]

38. Depending on my mood: Michigan Sauce w/onions,mustard OR Montreal Slaw w/onions OR

Sauerkraut w/mustard, onions & ketchup or NYC chili w/onions & mustard.

The one constant is I highly prefer the 'local' Glazier (red) hot dogs oh and I love onions.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

70. What pray tell is Michigan Sauce?

[WePurrsevere]

96. It's a 'local' meat sauce. It's pretty similar to a chili or Coney sauce but...

There's a difference that makes it a bit unique if it's made right.

I grew up in the capital district of NY with frequent trips to NYC. Chili sauce was very familiar and a favorite of my dad's and myself so he'd occasionally take me to a local dive with the best chili dogs as a reward or such. When my DH and I went to check out the north country near Canadian border for a possible new home years ago we discovered Michigan sauce on Glazier hot dogs and fell in love with the tasty sauce and dogs.

Anyway, here's a recipe for the sauce. There are lots of them online but so far this sounds the closest to our favorite place to enjoy them. You can add onions and mustard on top like you might a chili dog.
http://laurassweetspot.com/2011/06/14/michigan-sauce/

Someday I really should have a picnic, make up a batch of all three sauces and have the extended family and friends do a taste test just for fun.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

97. Looks good! When I get ambitious I'll have to make some.

When I make chili dogs at home I usually get this for the topping:
😋

[WePurrsevere]

112. That looks really good & no fuss is...

very handy sometimes.

I've bought Hormel's in a can (which leaves much to be desired IMO) but I've never seen the brick form or that packaging so I'm guessing it's more of a local to you thing?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

116. Here's a link to their site:

https://www.dolorescanning.com/where-to-buy-chili-brick.html

A lot of restaurants and vendors use Delores instead of making chili in house!

[ailsagirl]

39. Pretty tame here

Mustard and sweet pickle relish

yum

[Floyd R. Turbo]

71. Classic! 😋

[unc70]

40. Mustard, chili, slaw, onions -- Carolina dog

Really picky about the chili and the slaw. Hard to get it right outside of North Carolina. Good example at Sutton Drug in Chapel Hill.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

72. Yummy! 😋

[Runningdawg]

41. There is probably a proper name for it

but I just always called it dirt-dog sauce. The onion/tomato mixture the hot dog vendors spoon on a dog in NYC. That's #1 but only if its authentic, right out of the cart. Copy cats won't do.
So down here in Tulsa, I settle for mustard.

[TlalocW]

49. If you're in Tulsa

Have you gone to any of the Coney I-Landers? I don't think everyone of them gets the recipe quite right, but the one on Admiral does - that has the chili with cinnamon in it. Those are good.

TlalocW

[Runningdawg]

91. Coney I-Lander

BARF squashed buns, skinny wieners and greasy chili. Hubby loves it though. You know, I used to like a sonic chili-dog but I've been burned now at 2 different locations. I'll keep my dog eating confined to home, with a Bar-S dog and Always-Save mustard.

[TlalocW]

50. You also have a pretty good hot dog place north of Union High School

That has several different kinds of dogs. I liked eating there when I lived in Tulsa.

TlalocW

[Floyd R. Turbo]

73. Dirty water dog! 😋

[Runningdawg]

93. Within 1 hour after arriving in NYC

there is one in my hand. Its the last thing I eat before heading for the airport too.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

98. 😋

[SouthernLiberal]

43. Brown Mustard, Sauerkraut and...

Sweet pickle relish. Yum! Sometimes, I go a little crazy and add some onion.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

74. "I go a little crazy and add some onion." You're a wild one! 😁

[left-of-center2012]

46. I like mayo on mine, with a little pickle relish

But, one of my favorite childhood memories is going to our county fair every summer where each time my mother HAD to have a hot dog with sauerkraut.

[a kennedy]

69. Hmmmmmm mayo on a hot dogie.......I love mayo on my fries, gonna have

to try it on my hot dog. I usually just have catsup with diced sweet onions. Yummmmmmm, but that mayo with sweet pickles might be worth a try.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

75. Delish! 😋

[TlalocW]

48. Here in Kansas City we had a hot dog place

That had hot dogs that represented various cities/countries - I don't know if all of them were "official" dogs - I know the Chicago Dog and New York version were, but he had at least 20 different ones, including two that had peanut butter on them. I went through the entire menu... Peanut butter WORKS on a hot dog. I saved them for last, but I liked them.

TlalocW

[Floyd R. Turbo]

76. Gotta try that! 😋

[WhiteTara]

51. Make me one with everything

said the monk

[longship]

54. That will be two dollars.

Monk gives the hot dog vender a twenty.

When the vendor pockets the twenty dollars and offers nothing back, the monk asks, "I gave you a Twenty! Where's my change?"

Hot dog vendor responds, "Change comes from within."

[Floyd R. Turbo]

79. Ba dum tssssshhhh! 🥁

[Floyd R. Turbo]

78. Good one! 😂

[Danmel]

52. Jewish girl from New York

Spicy brown mustard and sauerkraut.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

80. Another classic! 😋

[Renew Deal]

81. The way his Holiness Nathan Handwerker intended.

[Danmel]

87. Nothing beats Nathan's famous-great crinkle cut from too

Just ride the cyclone before you eat, lol.

[Binkie The Clown]

53. Um, I WASN'T speaking of hot dogs. I'm a vegan and I don't make a habit of consuming carcinogens.

(I know. I sound like a non-smoker telling smokers that they're killing themselves by inhaling carcinogens. The fact that I'm right doesn't matter. Nobody really ever wants to hear the truth.)

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

55. Vegans -- you can't live with 'em and you can't live without 'em

Kinda like mimes.

[longship]

56. At Tiger Stadium (AKA Briggs Stadium), now sadly gone.

It was one of the best places on the planet to witness professional baseball. Now all that are left are Wrigley Field, and Fenway Park. Sad!

Wonderful Tiger Stadium:




A view of Kaline's corner in right field.

Note: if your team flies to right against the Tigers, you'd dare not try to tag up from third. Al Kaline could fire a strike from the right field wall and threw out many trying that.

Hot dogs at Tiger Stadium were only ever called Red Hots. "Get yer Red Hots! Red Hots here. Get yer Red Hots!" It was always a burly guy because he carried a tank of hot water around the stands with him to keep the dogs hot, and the buns moist.

You could have anything you wanted on your Red Hot as long as it was mustard and/or fresh onions. The works included both, but nothing more. Some idiots would ask for ketchup. The vendor would inevitably growl, "Ketchup is at the concession under the stands." Heaven help the poor guy who asked for relish.

Red Hots here!! Get yer Red Hots!

Enjoy! Hope the Tigers win this season. Not looking too good right now.

My best to you all.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

83. Love all stadium dogs! 😋

[jrandom421]

57. Here's mine

Dijon mustard, sauerkraut, dill relish, and onions.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

99. Nice! 😋

[CozyMystery]

58. Mustard, onions, chili (or beans), cheese sometimes

[Floyd R. Turbo]

100. Tasty! 😋

[NotASurfer]

59. Mustard. Kraut. Onions.

And a soft bun that holds up just long enough to enjoy. No ketchup. And a good baseball game to enjoy it all at. And a cold one to help, er, cleanse the palate before the next

delicious

bite

[Floyd R. Turbo]

101. Yep!

🌭

[Laffy Kat]

63. I only a few a year and usually at Rockies games.

But just a hint of mustard. That is all. And, by god, I like a fresh bun!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

103. Indeed! 😋

[raven mad]

64. Grilled over charcoal or a wood fire -

spicy mustard, lots of onion, sauerkraut, dill pickle relish and............. there'd better be baked beans. Tell me there are baked beans, please?

I refused to eat them as a kid. Then went to a fair here............. turned me around!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

104. I thought you were

bringing the beans!

[raven mad]

143. Ok, sure - I even have molasses!

Beans, beans.................

[Awsi Dooger]

65. Can't eat hot dogs or bologna

I break out with sebaceous cysts on my neck and face. Very scary because it's so sudden I can actually feel them forming. It's like a twister within my skin and then a hard and sometimes painful lump, depending where it is.

Fortunately I was diagnosed fairly quickly when this surfaced in 1995. I was eating bologna every day courtesy of my roommate who loved bologna sandwiches and chips. An internal medicine specialist did an evaluation, asked me questions, and pinpointed it to a chemical preservative in hot dogs and bologna.

I only strayed once and sure enough the cysts returned.

When I could eat hot dogs I liked them fried with the buns lightly toasted and plenty of relish, ketchup and chopped onions.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

105. Damn! That's brutal!

[Awsi Dooger]

125. Initially I thought it was Hodgkin's Disease

Mario Lemieux had a high profile case a year or so earlier. I had inflammation everywhere since the cysts were widespread on my face and neck.

So when I was diagnosed with merely an adverse reaction to a specific type of food it was quite a relief.

I do remember that I had a store bought box of frozen corn dogs a few years ago and did not get the cysts. But I didn't want to take a chance so I made it a one and done.

[sakabatou]

66. Mustard and onions

[Floyd R. Turbo]

106. Classic! 😋

[sarge43]

68. Pub style mustard, dill relish, chopped onions. n/t

[Floyd R. Turbo]

107. Nice! 🍺🌭

[Renew Deal]

77. Sauerkraut and mustard or onions or just mustard

Hot Dogs with casings preferred

[Floyd R. Turbo]

108. Natural casing of course! 👍🏻

[MFM008]

82. Nothing

But a little salt.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

109. The bare essentials! 😋

[colsohlibgal]

84. Just Mustard

I usually just eat them at a fair or a baseball game.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

110. Best places! 😋

[Fresh_Start]

85. New York hotdog cart cooked onions in red sauce and nothing else nt

nt

[Renew Deal]

92. I believe the red sauce is paprika only

[Floyd R. Turbo]

111. Love dirty water dogs! 😋

[PearliePoo2]

86. Lightly toasted the bun on the BBQ grill first off!

Hebrew National dog, a little bit of Claussens sauerkraut, Inglehoffer stone ground mustard and lots of chopped sweet onions.
Bratwurst or Bockwurst works too!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

113. That's some serious gourmet stuff there! 😋

[bluecollar2]

88. Doggie Diner style

Yellow mustard, onions and sometimes relish....

I miss this place...

https://goo.gl/images/XZhUPF

[Floyd R. Turbo]

114. Cool! 👍🏻

[bluecollar2]

89. Doggie Diner style

Yellow mustard, onions and sometimes relish....

I miss this place...

https://goo.gl/images/XZhUPF

[Doreen]

90. I pretty much like anything on my dogs.

However sauerkraut is my favorite. I do not like any dill just sweet. My ex husband put me down for having ketchup on my dogs. He always said a true Chicago would never have ketchup. I was not trying for a Chicago. If I do not have much to put on I usually do some ketchup, mustard, and sweet relish.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

115. Enjoy!

[Doreen]

141. That was hilarious.

I will have to show that to my ex.

[Iggo]

94. Mustard and a bun.

Anything else is floofy.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

117. Floofy eh! 😏

[fleur-de-lisa]

95. I have a very special process that I STRICTLY adhere to regarding hot dogs . . .

First, bun is slathered with mustard;
Then dog is inserted;
Next up: chili, onions, relish, in that EXACT order;
Grated cheese is then heaped on;
Then a finely drizzled layer of ketchup;
Before the final, and MOST IMPORTANT step:

Throw that bad boy in the TRASH! How disgusting! Hot dogs are made of leftover parts, gristle, and fat! And they smell like old FARTS and BAD BREATH!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

118. No pudding for you!

[underpants]

102. I get a Zen dog

One with everything

[Floyd R. Turbo]

119. Ba dum tssssshhhh! 🥁

[irisblue]

120. Because of this thread

Me & my housemate are grilling Nathan's dogs, Tony Packos' chili, roasted buns and mustard onions for me. Grilled corn on the cob. Watermelon.
😉

[Floyd R. Turbo]

122. Well, I do hope that you

have enough for everyone who contributed! What time should we be there?😏

[Iggo]

123. You made something happen.

That's really cool.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

124. Thank you! Those who posted on the thread deserve the credit!

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

126. This is how my hometown does it

http://www.detroitoneconey.com/

[Floyd R. Turbo]

127. When I visited Detroit in the sixties I would always make a pilgrimage to Lafayette's! 😋

[irisblue]

129. Detroit is a hot dog town with so many styles of dogs.

Lafayette Coney Island....oh I miss that!

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

136. Every year when I go back

Coney's are on the menu at least twice!

[Brother Buzz]

128. Mustard and DILL relish

I hold the dill relish in reserve for hot dogs, and use the sweet relish on hamburgers.

Next time I'm in LA, I'm going for a Danger Dog, my son swears by them. I no longer have the cast iron stomach from my youth, so I'll be sure and pack antacids.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

130. Man those look good! 😋

A little history: https://www.thrillist.com/eat/los-angeles/history-of-los-angeles-danger-dogs

My go to dog in L.A. is Pinks! 😋

[Brother Buzz]

135. Pink's looks grand. My son lives near Pink's and says he's been there a couple of times

So Pink's just went on my bucket list. Thanks!

[LuvLoogie]

131. 4 ways...

Chicago style: mustard, onion, pickle relish, tomato, pickle, sport peppers, celery salt;--poppy seed bun optional.

Chili, cheese & onions

Maxwell Street style.

New York style: Dusseldorf mustard, saurkraut, onion relish

Natural casing, steamed. Charred is okay on Chicago and Maxwell style.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

132. Delish! I had to look up "Maxwell Style"! 😋

[Floyd R. Turbo]

134. No need to delete! Welcome to the club!

[irisblue]

137. Welcome to DU

so do you eat hot dogs?

[California_Republic]

138. My teeth.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

139. Ba dum tssssshhhh! 🥁

[WinkyDink]

140. LOTS of mustard! A hot dog is just the excuse!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

145. 😋🌭

[Iggo]

147. The hot dog as a mustard delivery device.

I'm for that.

[hay rick]

142. I'm a purist.

Mustard and relish. Or just mustard. I also love it with chopped raw onions, but my tolerance for onions has diminished with age. The lingering aftertaste isn't worth it to me any more. Sauerkraut, chili, cheese? Tolerable but not my preference.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

146. 😋🌭

[A HERETIC I AM]

144. What do I like on my hot dog?

A bacon double cheeseburger, hold the hot dog.

Or an IN-N-OUT Double Double




Fucking hate hot dogs.
