On Your Hot Dog

You jerk, you forgot all the options involving cheese.

new "what about with sardines" answers here

lol xp cheese & bacon are non-canon add-ons, even chili was stretching it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5JIpT4GkyM

chili dogs and mustard/relish dogs are completely different species and must not intermingle!

anyway, my answer is yellow mustard + sriracha + sweet relish

I rep hard for the mustard dog, fwiw. if I'm making it myself I usually buckle and add ketchup but I almost always regret it. the plain mustard dog is a triumph of Teutonic simplicity imo

is this a tofu dog or have you backslidden?

MUSTARD

veggie dogs only for me, there's zero chance of me intentionally eating meat again in this life, but this poll is for everybody who eats hot dogs in any form

no kraut? gtfo!

where's sauerkraut?

lol - EXACTLY

for me (also on veg dogs only) it's always mustard and sometimes other things which may include relish, cheese, tomatoes and/or sauerkraut.

tbh every time my wife orders a chili dog I have a kneejerk impulse to file for divorce

I really really really dislike chili dogs

I see listings for ketchup. I see nothing for tomatoes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5JIpT4GkyM

mustard, mayo and bacon bits! (sometimes relish)

I love sauerkraut honestly and just forgot it cause I almost never have it on hand (I almost never have hot dogs outside of the ones I make myself) so if somebody wants to start a new poll abt that I can dig it

re: kraut -- another separate species -- they're all good

kraut + onions + spicy mustard

I've never had one of those Chicago-style trainwrecks (I'd like to though)

mustard + kraut

FEAR MY BREATH, HUMANS

if you are getting precious about ketchup but are a-ok with chili, you have the worst priorities in the world

mustard, mayo and bacon bits! (sometimes relish)

O_O

Mustard only on corn dogs, NYC cart dogs or posh hot dogs (would kill for a pack of Ambassador franks right now, can anyone hook me up?), mustard and ketchup on yr basic Oscar Meyers. I'm not a huge fan of chili/kraut/dressed hot dogs, or relish.

dan do you rep for this place?

http://www.spikesjunkyarddogs.com/

In re: ketchup -- clearly a matter of taste, as it were. I always did like the Straight Dope's take:

http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/679/why-is-there-no-ketchup-on-a-properly-made-hot-dog

if you are getting precious about ketchup but are a-ok with chili, you have the worst priorities in the world

"my children went hungry while I was watching a rerun of a poker tournament on Fox Sports Chicago"
"where do you stand on ketchup & chili on hot dogs though"
"fuck them & the people that eat 'em imo"
"ok, we're cool"

ketchup, i find, is too sweet.

...although I suppose the butter and toasting bun treatment would make the overdressed dawg a bit less susceptible to bun disintegration.

NB hot dogs are the one 'sandwich' where I'm happy to butter the roll it's served in.

Tracer I've never even seen that place! While I appreciate their shameless attempts to pander to me by including jalepenos as an option, I look at their pictures and think "why not just go ahead and put on spaghetti noodles and tacos while you're at it"

xp: aero is 100% OTM, that is a person who knows how to live

Will - was that a O_O of awesome flavour discovery, or a O_O of disgust?

lol'ing v hard right now, ty DJP

wait no, aero is only 50% OTM, ketchup is perfectly acceptable on a hot dog!

mustard & kraut

mustard and onions. not in the poll but relish only is ;_:

Mustard and kraut, or mustard and relish, or frankly just mustard.

aerosmith, do you have a favored brand or method of preparation of tofu dog that doesn't taste like a moldy log?

ketchup/mustard/relish = great hot dog

ketchup/mustard/relish/ONIONS = perfect hot dog!

Sorry, Thermo, it was disgust. I love mayonnaise and have the waistline to prove it, but the idea of it on a hot dog kinda yacks me out.

try it. your waistline will not thank you.

also: mayo on Burgers too. it's the perfect life partner for mustard!

because I have been known to forsake the pigs whose very lives I have sworn to protect over this very issue.

ketchup/mustard/relish/babycorn/mashed potatoes = British hot dog*

* come on, we were going to go there eventually

chili dogs and mustard/relish dogs are completely different species and must not intermingle!

I used to eat ketchup/mustard/relish dogs until the invention of sriracha.

Mayo on burgers for sure! But I don't want creaminess on a hot dog, I want vinegary zing + umami.

if only we cd get all that stuff

there doesn't seem to be a ketchup/onions/mustard option?

99 percent of the hotdogs i've eaten in the uk have been horrible, the onions is usually the best bit

im not down with relish tbh. i'll put up with it on a chicago dog because you dont want to fuck with that blend of ingredients, but i'll never opt for it otherwise

if you put mayo on my burger, I will imagine punching you in the thorax so hard as I politely thank you and eat

i really want to go out and eat a dog for lunch now. or two.

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YHbm-quo8zA/SMMB0y7p3eI/AAAAAAAAA5s/p39EzB6RdIE/s320/sad-puppy-762578.jpg

DJP - never eat at a Burger King. it will not go down well.

Whoppers are definitely an acceptable use of mayo

Catsup and cheddar cheese. Would be willing to add chili but I find the prevalence of onions unacceptable.

fortunately at Burger King I can "have it my way", which = "keep that goddamned mayo off my goddamned burger"

chili and onions and mustard

+ cheese

i really want to go out and eat a dog for lunch now. or two.

Yeah, this is definitely making me rethink the salad I brought in. Especially since this place has been open across the way for a while:

http://www.berkeleydogs.com/

if you put mayo on my burger, I will imagine punching you in the thorax so hard as I politely thank you and eat

dang, man, you've gotten all scary and literal since I told you your kung-fu was strong

otm about the Whopper, aka the mayonnaise and onion sandwich with a bit of beef added

mayo is for poultry and sometimes fish; cows get ketchup

this is the closest I get to religious

DJP's Last Supper.

A burger with cheddar is like eww-charist.

j/k i love it

Mayo on a cheeseburger: it goes on the top bun ONLY, keeps the shredded lettuce in place. Ketchup goes on top of the melted cheese to secure the slices of tomato, mustard goes on the bottom roll under the fried onions. GOSPEL ACCORDING TO SODA FOUNTAIN GIRL.

aerosmith, do you have a favored brand or method of preparation of tofu dog that doesn't taste like a moldy log?

I favor Tofu Pups but let me put my cards on the table here: you know how some people will get all "100% all-beef hot dogs are the best" and so on? When I ate meat I strongly preferred Farmer John wieners to Hebrew National or any of that finest-of-all-display-beef-only stuff. Farmer John wieners are made from pork, mechanically separated turkey, water, salt, corn syrup, natural flavorings, dextrose, sugar, sodium lactate, sodium phosphates, beef, sodium erythorbate, sodium diacetate, oleoresin paprika, sodium nitrite. So, like, I am probably not your best source on what hot dog "tastes the best."

while we're talking about hot dogs...

DAN YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN TO SPIKE'S?!

OMG

The original was in Providence and I used to make my friend take me there every time I went to visit but then they opened on in Allston and now there's on on Boylston by Berkley.

Spikes is fucking amazing.

Anywhere else I usually do mustard (somtimes but rarely relish)and kraut but at spikes there is one with tomatoes and cheddar and it's great.

The buns they use are just amazing and they have awesome seasoned curly fries.

I should walk up Boylston and investigate this so-called "Spike's"

My Danish great-grandmother made hamburgers w/mayo. I always assumed that it was some foreign incapacity to correctly understand American hamburger technology.

x-post - You should! I was just thinking that it can't be far from your work. Now I'll feel bad if you go and don't like it but it's usually great. If you do go sometime it's on Boylston just past where it crosses Mass Ave.

(07-18) 08:21 PDT STOCKERAU, Austria (AP) --

Austrian police say thieves have made off with an unusual heist — 21 tons of mustard and ketchup.

The loot was in a semitrailer parked in a lot over the weekend northwest of Vienna. Police say the truck driver showed up Monday to deliver his cargo only to see the trailer missing.

Police assume the thieves were more interested in the trailer than its contents.

Authorities had no price tag for the stolen condiments but said the trailer was worth about 15,000 euros — more than $22,000.

Now I imagine strongo and DJP's show turned into a reality heist program.

onions & ketchup vote

where is the mustard and kraut option

no hot sauce, no credibility

mustard + kraut

SPIKE'S!

they had a reuben dog iirc? sounds gross but it was delicious.

between that and the meeting street cafe veggie reuben i consumed so much russian dressing in college

horseshoe did you go to brown? i feel like we have had this conversation before and my brane is purposely misplacing it.

yes!

spikes on thayer is gone now

i went back when my sister graduated in '05 and thayer was unrecognizable ;_;

i like cole slaw on my dogs

vintage thayer now gone;

channels internet café
in your ear
spike's junkyard dogs
wings to go
esta's too

haha omg channels! that place was so weird. aw.

aw that was "my" spike's..

in your ear gone!! dang. i hit up wings to go pretty hard, too. channels was after my time!

thayer was already pretty terrible in 1992, in all honesty. besides in your ear its saving grace was a bar called Baci that served drinks to anyone. we always speculated that the framed portrait of buddy cianci on the wall signified some kind of special dispensation

Oh man of course you'd know Spike's!

There's still an In Your Ear on Comm Ave here I think. Thayer St. has changed a lot in the last 10 years.

college hill bookstore is now some weird store filled with imported 'ethnic' crap, too.

aw

sorry that was a x-post to HS but it pertains to TH and Remy too :)

One of my closest friends owns a shop on Thayer so I've spent a good deal of time around there over he last decade. I was so sad when Spike's left. Granted it's pretty cool to have them here in Boston but it was the original!

i know thayer was not the happening street but i am so fond of just the look of it because, you know, seeing it every day. i miss providence.

(emailed u btw ^)

omg '98! i was a sophomore i probably saw you guys!

b-b-but surely you guys already had the dormroom "ethernet connectivity" that was supposedly just around the corner when i graduated?!

yes we did!

i just went to channels when my friend was working there tbh

I've never had one of those Chicago-style trainwrecks (I'd like to though)

They are the most wondrous consumable known to mankind.

If I come up there in Aug or Sept I'm counting on one of you locals escorting me to the best Chicago dog in town.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completo

Avocado,sauerkraut,mayo,tomato,mustard,ketchup and chilli.

no pickle options? relish is not the same thing. i like the sour pickle slices.. though i mostly pick them back off to eat on their own.

cosign; i am appalled at all of dan's food posts today

btw of these toppings i like mustard and onions, an option which eluded our lovely pollstarter

I was omw to Spike's and it started raining so I BK'ed it

you disdain mayonaise but you ate at burger king smdh

my two fav spike's dogs:

ballpark - golden mustard, onions, cheddar cheese

buffalo - hot sauce, blue cheese sauce, scallions

I spent $5 and I am no longer hungry

win-win

xp: that buffalo hot dog seems horrifying

r u serious?

so good

blue cheese anything is nasty as hell.

but if you deep fried the hot dog and drowned it in hot sauce then yes.

if you're gonna call something a "buffalo" anything i mean don't half-ass it.

you could serve it on a celery stalk.

the attempt to recreate the buffalo wing in guises other than "wing" and "chicken tender" always fail for me; usually the introduction of non-meat into the equation makes me feel like someone is punking me

BLUE CHEESE IS AMAZING

I usually just get whichver is the one with tomatoes and cheddar. It sounds strange but it's so good. CAD wouldn't you agree that part of what makes Spike's so good is the bun? THey're the best.

blue cheese as a sauce is almost always disappointing

xxp it is but personally i cannot do the blue cheese + hot sauce thing, too much tang for my taste buds

I'M SORRY ARE PEOPLE SHIT-TALKING BLUE CHEESE NOW WTF

Oh I just remembered that I've been to the Spike's in Cranston too! I have been to all the Spike's.

i have a shameful secret re my love of buffalo chicken pizza

call all destroyer if you ever come to buffalo (lol) i will take you to jim's and we will get chicken finger subs. they come smothered in hot sauce and blue cheese and are delicious.

yeah totally--it's a really substantial bun which is important when you're getting a topping-intensive dog

i mean if i'm gonna eat blue cheese on anything it better be some kinda dr. strongo monstrosity for my trouble. "buffalo naked mole rat" or something.

F EVERYBODY IUD

I went to college in upstate NY for a while where it was a thing to dip your pizza in blue cheese dressing. You'd order a slice and a side of blue. It's . . . amazing.

Oooh HS might know about this dipping pizza in blue cheese thing of which I speak!

for far too long I was wondering what contraception had to do with blue cheese

aw this sounds rad.

if yall can't tell i am firmly in the camp that hot sauce and blue cheese can make all sorts of things taste delicious.

dan i could tell you but you really dont want to know

how about virgin eggs, would you eat those with hot sauce and blue cheese

i believe that buffalo chicken anything improves exponentially in proximity to buffalo ny, and diminishes in quality with distance

I don't know why these food threads happen every so often the way they do (though I'm sure aerosmith is to blame somehow), but I love them all.

yes we dip our pizza in blue cheese if we dip it in anything. none of this ranch nonsense. cad i offered that because you are right-thinking about hot sauce + blue cheese which is the god food comination.

OMG I would murder someone for a slice and a side of blue from Mark's Pizza in Geneva, NY right now. Dammit.

y'all are gonna make me order some wings, i can feel it, i can feel the horrible urge building inside of me

hahaha not upstate ny but in lol college we were able to order lol dominoes with fake money (dining points), so the thing to do would be to get pizza, dominoes wings, and then finish off your blue cheese by dipping the pizza in it.

The Eater Inside Me

shoot me now

I eat the wings while the city sleeps

sadly i'm too broke for wings. instead i'm just going to continue eating potato chips from the bag and wondering why none of my pants currently fit. there's a connection but damned if i can see it.

I dip my pizza in bleu cheese dressing and have taught my son to do the same... what were we talking about again

we were dividing ilx north vs. south style along the lines of blue cheese fandom

the blue cheese fans are clearly the confederates

because they are as bad as slave-owners

i think it's the difference between western new york and the midwest

haha i am so mad at you rn strongo

blue cheese is like the best thing about this godforsaken region

how dare you impugn our only remaining joy

STRONGO >;O

I never understood the upstate NYers who dipped everything in mayo but I will eat a pig's ass dipped in bleu cheese, I am an unfathomable conundrum

THE UNION FOREVER, BLUE CHEESE NEVER

fuck, I think in terms of bleu cheese, I am Missouri

why do we keep refighting the war of blue-veined aggression

you might want to rephrase that

I believe that is an entirely different war that costs $11.99 for a 24-hour rental

look i'm just saying that history's gonna regard me as a ulysses s. grant bringing light to millions while y'all blue cheese fans are going to be a stain on the nation's pride forever

blue cheese otm

history is going to regard you as a crazy person who dislikes eggs

xp BROWNIE THANK GOD

explain to these heathens

the gospel of frank's red hot and blue cheese dressing

as long as that stain on our nation's pride is one caused by bleu cheese dressing I'm alright with the world

enjoy yr ice cream

so many blue cheese stains in my time; all worth it

9/11 blue cheese connection truthers

I am going to make hamburgers from scratch this weekend and one of the things that's going in the 'ground is 8 ounces of blue. haters to the left

kraut + onions + spicy mustard

These choices are crap.

do not want crapdog

blue cheese burgers are awesome. i'm going to buy one of those Packer cheesehead hats and paint it the color of blue cheese and wear it around town in defiance of the ranch davidians who control the money supply

I remember thinking "oh stfu poseur" when I read an Anton LaVey profile w/the following bit:

``WHAT DRESSING WOULD YOU LIKE ON YOUR SALAD?'' the waiter inquired.

``Blue cheese,'' I said.

LaVey and Barton exchanged a look, then returned to their menus. Unknowingly, I had just failed the LaVey Salad-Dressing Test. According to The Satanic Witch, his guide for lovelorn sorceresses, ``dominant, masculine archetypes [like LaVey] prefer sweet dressings, such as French, Russian, Thousand Island,'' because the smell resembles the odor of a woman's sexual organs. Blue cheese, on the other hand, is ``reminiscent of a locker full of well-worn jockstraps.'' It is suitable, really, only for wimps and submissive females. LaVey ordered the twenty-two-ounce porterhouse steak, rare.

dying @ 'ranch davidian'

that is all-time, tbqf

omg ranch davidian

is this the same Anton LaVey who likes wearing blouses

anton lavey has obviously not heard of the latest craze to grip the nation, blue cheese tampons

when i lived in chicago i was surrounded by ranch dividians when you ordered wings they would deliver them with ranch dressing unless you specifically requested blue cheese the horror

These choices are crap.

I am genuinely angry at you for saying this & doubly angry if you think "spicy mustard" is necessary instead of "mustard" like whatever tf put whatever kinda mustard you like mr gourmet

"such as French, Russian, Thousand Island, because the smell resembles the odor of a woman's sexual organs"

huh.

I crush mustard seeds in a cast iron mortar and apply liberally

I am trying to imagine exactly what my reaction would be if I encountered ladybits that smelled like salad dressing

it would likely be eerily similar to this unless she happened to be sitting in salad:

Would you be dressed like that, though.

my suit would be nicer

i mean i'm not gonna say it's not possible but i've never been with a woman who made me have nostalgic memories of the pizza hut salad bar during coitus

nearly every single picture of a mustard-topped hot dog returned in a google image search for 'hot dog mustard' depicts the mustard having been applied in a perfect sine wave. who among us would not great care to apply the mustard to the dog in a perfect sine wave formation?

the wendy's superbar on the other hand

why does everything you say sound so dirty

I really want hot dogs now but am too lazy to get dressed and go to the shop that is on the corner of my building to go buy them.

i bought too many hot dogs for a barbecue last week. would make hot dogs for all this ilxors. i have mustard and kraut!

pro tip: freezer burned year-old hot dogs will keep you from starving to death but will plunge you into a beckett-ian despair

These choices are crap.

I am genuinely angry at you for saying this & doubly angry if you think "spicy mustard" is necessary instead of "mustard" like whatever tf put whatever kinda mustard you like mr gourmet

Honestly, it's the lack of Kraut more than the mustard type that is the crap in that statement, but I do prefer a spicy Gulden's over classic yellow.

My dad puts honey mustard on hot dogs. I do shake my head at that.

I can't even deal

why doesn't he just dip them in corn syrup and sprinkles

I once accidentally put salad cream on a hotdog :/ still ate it but.

yeah i mean let's not sully the natural perfection of a fuckin hot dog

because his dad is not dr. strongo lol xp

I'm also a Ranch Davidian, if that will get some more people riled up. I like lots of stinky cheese, but not many blues (gorgonzola is the exception). Not my favorite mold.

we're talking about the "let's make a deal" what's-behind-door-number-three of foods here

This is making me want to go into town to get a red hot from a street cart. But I don't have any way to get there today...

everytime i've had a tijuana dog (both times) i get it with mayo. worth it.

stay away from the virgin dog

I will confess to not "getting" blue cheese. I mean, my senses just scream at me that it's food that's gone bad. what am I missing?

Ranch is disgusting too, but in a different, non "unfit for consumption" way.

just had two hot dogs, wrapped in bacon, with mayo, ketchup, mustard and pickled chillies. pretty good. not sure if i want more or not. still feeling slightly nauseous due to monster hangover.

Jim, you are well-placed to comment on this:

http://blog.23x.net/5/what-is-a-munchy-box.html

the munchy box is a delight. the one i used to go for was from a place called McDonners on Argyle Street in Finnieston, although i have since moved flat i can well remember the days when i would polish off one washed down with a £2.80 bottle of mansion house fortified wine while watching episodes of american dramas and pining for a girl who just dumped me. it was essentially the same as that one there but with chicken chaat instead of chicken tikka, and also i think the addition of a few chicken wings.

oh yes i also used to smoke while drinking at the time so add a ten pack of regal to that, oh and a six pack of stella.

my favorite combo of things to put on hot dogz is avocado and sriracha.
fuck ketchup on anything except maybe french fries.
i've softened on my once hardline no mayo policy; now i actively enjoy it on french fries and on certain sandwiches. while i don't keep it around the house, i don't object when served something containing mayo.
blue cheese is dope imo.

this thread makes me think of this song

to add to the scottish diet off-topic discussion:

n.b. the portmanteau "stonner" is a combination of the glaswegian word for erection and donner.

off topic but you Scots & Englishes & Europeans who actually drink Stella when there is other beer available permanently forfeit your right to talk shit about even the worst American lagers. Like if you drink Stella you can just keep your snark about Miller Lite to yourself cause that shit comes from the same vats

stella is cheap, you can buy it everywhere, it used to be more powerful etc. generally you cannot buy good beer in scottish convenience shops.

i don't claim that buckfast or mansion house are the best red wine on the market either, needs must you know, buckfast has more caffeine in it per volume than energy drinks and is about 15% and costs roughly £5, sometimes all of that is necessary.

I noted that with sorrow last time I was over it makes me rrrrage with don quixote force. good Scottish & English beers are imo the best damn beers in the world, like make-me-cry delicious, would happily get completely fat on the stuff and instead they gets killed in the market by stella well I'll tell you what it's a cold world man.

this is an all-time hero post btw don't think it has gone unappreciated

I miss the old Fun-in-a-Box from Mamas Boy BBQ which was just two huge chicken wings (like the kind you find on a big roaster) on top of french fries covered in hot BBQ sauce and served in a box. whatta mess

gonna re-read the nutrition nazi thread now as penance

Stella is just a way to go straight to the hangover without bothering with the drunkenness first.

stella used to be more powerful? they've stealthily upped the ABV over a decade or two iirc, no way did it used to be 5%

sometimes i order stella just to annoy the beardo craft-beer geezers

ha, the beer that does that for me is argentinian piss water quilmes. one quilmes can give me a sore head, and i generally never get a sore head.

stella used to be 5.2%, when i was a teenager, changed around 3 or 4 years ago, now 5%.

that's depressing Tracer

haha perhaps it is my own tolerance that has er.. dipped. my own personal hangover nemesis is old speckled hen, that shit is the worst.

or maybe it's just that it tastes better so i drink more of it..

you would THINK that stella and these guys would figure out that "better taste = they will drink it more" but somehow i guess it doesn't work that way

hey aero what kinda veggie dog do you rep for

think I said earlier - I'm a tofu pups man

cool man ty

also fwiw i like an all beef dog but i feel you on the crazy-ingredients = taste of a hot dog ish

kinda shocked, too, that "chicago-style" didn't end up on your poll!!!!! it's sort of an outrage!!!

I still don't think I've had a proper chicago-style as the fake "chicago styles" I had didn't have lettuce or tomato on them.

if I'd have gone chicago style I would have had to put coneys & Pink's too and that would have been war

luv the coney

there's no "relish plus onion plus mustard' option, which would have been my vote :(

OTMFM. I miss those dogs something terrible. Pretty much unobtainable on the east coast.
I mean, come on, look at this thing. LOOK AT IT.

this sounds neat!

laurel, you are a ketchup lover, and you know i love you, but i do not at all trust your opinion on hot dogs.

mustard and kraut

or

onion and slaw

or mustard, onion and pickle spear

^ good dogs

also

mustard, onions, jalapeños

I would be willing to try a pickle spear because of how much I love pickles. /grudgingly

oh lord when do we get a coleslaw thread??!?!

I basically would eat any of these:

everything bagel seeds

don't know how to break this to you but you're being sold a bill of goods here

I had two 'smoked grilling weiners' from Paulina Meat Market in Chicago, done up Chicago style, at a grillin' party recently. They were hands down the best hot dogs I have ever had.

Place makes about 2 dozen other types of fresh sausage incl cheddarwurst, gyro, tomato-basil (tried a bite, surprisingly good), couple different kinds of polish, brats, italian sausages, and a bunch of other ones. It's wonderful.

i mean i understand that it's basically dried onion pieces, sesame seeds and poppy seeds, prob some salt, but u know, i'm cool with that

Chicago dog is the best dog.

WmC, we'll take care of you. Chicago dog all the way and all the Malort you can drink.

Ug, Malort. That's another thread.

Seriously, there's nothing objectionable about the Chicago dog - it's basically just hamburger toppings, minus the lettuce and absolutely no ketchup. Hardly the realm of yuck. Plus, the perfect snap of Vienna Beef. I mean, come on: http://www.viennabeef.com/culture/chicagostyle.asp

Quoth Bourdain (if he's your thing):

I’m ambivelent about a lot of places, but I am unrestrained in my love for Chicago. Only Chicago could convince me that the New York hot dog was not, in fact, anywhere near the apex of the hot dog arts.

It took me a while to come around to the chicago dog, but now I'm not sure I could ever go back. It is the most delicious hot dog.

not an option for just mustard, onions, and relish, so I'll do mustard and relish. my ultimate preference would be Chicago-style with mustard, onions, relish, celery salt, tomatoes, and sport peppers. no lettuce, though... wtf is that about?

No room!

Lettuce on a hot dog is some crazy talk. Lettuce? GTFO.

ketchup, sweet mustard, fried onion, raw onion and remolaði

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3a/B%C3%A6jarins_Beztu_Pylsur.jpg

I also love the North Carolina-style slaw dog.

My third favorite due to some Stockholm Syndrome type shit apparently is the hot dogs they served in my second and third grade cafeteria, which were wrapped in buttered white bread with a slice of cheddar cheese under them and the whole thing toasted in the oven. With ketchup.

That sounds nice.

It was really good. Hot dog day was a good day indeed.

Where does a Pig In A Blanket fit in this continuum? I liked them as a kid but don't think I've had one in over 25 years.

pigs in a blanket are delicious. my mother used to make them with those pilsbury crescent rolls and it was like freebasing junk food.

Yeah if I still ate meat I'd house some pigs in a blankets asap.

My mom used to make them with homemade biscuit dough. Whether biscuit or crescent roll, they owned my childhood.

Has anyone eaten them as an adult? Do they hold up to the memories?

no but the urge might be too strong to resist now. i will also ride for the corn dog if the batters not too sweet.

Me too. Never tried to make my own but state fairs and the like were corn dog heaven.

Vaguely related - there's a place in Portland Maine that makes lobster on a stick. Take one lobster tail, lightly bread and deep fry in boiling oil. Supergood.

haha we made these w/ pilsbury dough in 5th grade home ec class, except the teacher used finger weiners to save a bit of money, and I think she called them texas tommys.

oh god apparently it's actually a philly thing

http://www.seriouseats.com/2009/10/hot-dog-of-the-week-texas-tommy-philadelphia-philly-pa.html

don't think I've ever had one

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

North Carolina-style slaw dog is blowing my mind right now

i never choose hot dogs as a thing to eat when there are other things to eat (like sausage dogs!), so i never eat hot dogs, but i would eat that slaw dog!

is there chili on that thing too or am i just hoping there is?

rrobyn, this may be what you're looking for (the one in the middle, underneath the fries is slaw)

http://www.thegourmetchilidog.com/images/hotdogs/oh/SetisPolishBoys_12.jpg

er huge, sorry

according to the internet: yes!
xps
that looks like a fake-poutine dog!

it's called a Polish Boy in cleveland

Yes! There is chilli on the slaw dog. They are astoundingly good.

place near me does the chili/slaw dog, also adds chopped raw onion & mustard i think? calls it the 'spicy redneck.'

chili and onions and ketchup for me... add cheese if you like but it's not necessary.

chili AND ketchup!?

i probably wouldn't add the ketchup but if it were already on there i wouldn't object.

mustard only, anything more is like wearing a leisure suit

i wish i could get with straight-up mustard. i like it as an ingredient but not a standalone condiment -- too overpowering for me.

i go hard with mustard; stankier the better

tbf i'm that way with garlic

My third favorite due to some Stockholm Syndrome type shit apparently is the hot dogs they served in my second and third grade cafeteria, which were wrapped in buttered white bread with a slice of cheddar cheese under them and the whole thing toasted in the oven. With ketchup.

i think at my school this was called a 'wiener wink', except it was served to every grade in the school system, and i don't know if there was butter on the bread.

also, a toothpick to keep the bread wrapped around the hot dog in the oven.

Wiener winks!!!! Yes! They were called wiener winks! With a toothpick!!!!

Where did you go to school?

It was only the two grades for me bc we moved and I changed schools, but I could be misremembering which schools were the wiener wink schools.

God, I haven't thought of wiener winks in forever.

good ol weiner winks.

perhaps they are an iowa delicacy, i couldn't find much about them when i googled.

"bacon spiked southern greens*"

confused about "spiked" here. were the greens unaware they were getting bacon'd or what?

raspberry mustard is kind of a thing, actually, though not mine

okay now wait a second

WASABI PEAS??????

"warm pineapple-ginger-currant chutney"

GO BACK TO RUSSIA

Hmm, (Is korean really necessary?) kim chee on a dog sounds kind of good.

I have had a dog there with the bbq sauce, blue cheese coleslaw and pickled onions and it was amazing.

half of this list is a love letter to redundant words

I mean: french brie cheese look at this

"baby bok choy coca cola stir fry"

we didn't start the fire

DJP you gotta make some allowance for the fact that this is Cleveland, I mean come on.

Chicago FTW.

Josh have you been to Franks n Dawgs?

I have. I can't really in good conscience call them hot dogs, because they're too elaborate and unwieldy, but they are quite good.

I've been to all of the above, btw, except fRedhots. Wiener ... in Evanston has awesome, awesome corndogs, which I had on National Corndog Day (which you all likely missed, slackers).

Q for Chicago Dog eaters -- are "sport peppers" hot or mild?

Depends where you get 'em from, but generally they're pretty mild. Slight vinegar tang, yumm.

yeah, mild but sour/tangy

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

ketchup only 8

barf

there are 8 8-year-olds on ILX?

lots of texturephobes

Chicago FTW.

Now and forever, absolutely. However, quality can sometimes very: The Weiner & Still Champion can be iffy. All the others are great, though.

As for sport peppers, I've only had hot ones. I don't know that any others exist. Sometimes they take on different characters: the ones from Irving's (where you can get a DOUBLE DOG) make my eyes water, and the ones at Portillo's are just as hot, but don't make me weep for some reason.

*vary

I didn't vote in this because of no chicago option, but I probably should've gone for relish + mustard.

I need some Chicago dogs right now.

crif "spicy redneck" is bacon, chili, jalapenos, slaw
I alway get a chicago dog when passing through, but haven't had a good one outside the city ... might be the local specifics of celery salt, relish, sport peppers
grays papaya: mustard kraut
at home: mustard, chopped claussens pickle, sriracha

I mean: french brie cheese look at this

presumably this means "from France" not locally made tho?

ie 98% of all brie or camembert sold in Australia is from Tasmania

they took our champagne and left us with "sparkling wine" but they shall never take our soft cheeses

Prefer local brie to the French stuff Ive had imo

Dunno why, but Vienna Beef dogs (and some other ingredients) aren't available nationwide. One of the only times I had a Chicago dog on the east coast was a stand in eastern Mass. The guy who ran the place apologized for not being able to put the dogs on S. Rosen's buns.

I always thought hot dogs were pork as a standard meat. Is it just chi dogs that are beef? Dont think Ive ever seen a beef hotdog. A tofu one, sure.

there are pork, beef, turkey, chicken, some percentage of any/all of them, and you can get them pretty much everywhere.

I don't think I've ever had a pork hot dog - it's always been all beef or maybe chicken. and shoe leather.

Maybe its just that the Aus dog standard is porky offcuts and munge. Always with a bright red skin.

They have beef dogs (which is to say, kosher dogs) everywhere. But yeah, the Chicago dog is traditionally beef and specifically Vienna beef, thought he beef is the important part. The tour I took of the factory did a great job dispelling the urban legend that hot dogs are all grungy mystery meat.

It occurs to me that a lot of what we use as dogs here is frankfurters, which I guess isnt *quite* the same thing? Those pork things with the springy red skin. We call em footy franks.

Those are not the same thing.

One of my favorite locals places is Gene and Jude's, which serves an awesome dog and fresh cut fries, though not a traditionally Chicago dog. Still, they adamantly refused to even humor ketchup, and will come close to kicking you out if you ask about it. I guess it was literally the founder's dying wish that ketchup never be served in his shop. There's a McDonald's next door, and they refuse to give you a ketchup packet without a receipt, for obvious reasons.

You can't even get ketchup for your fries?

...you wanna wind up in the hole? quiet man.

Prefer local brie to the French stuff Ive had imo

Mediocre triple-creams don't travel well

hot dog salad

barf

fried sliced dogs in worchester sauce, salad of lettuce, onion, avacado, celery, pickle, mustard vinagrette

Sounds good, actually

No. Cut-up hot dogs can only work in a lower-grade preparation, like this thing with fries, cheese, and gravy.

sliced lengthwise dog

fries, cheese & gravy is decadent and sodium-filled enough!

ketchup, mustard, mayonaise, pickles, and chopped fried & raw onions.

i like my hot dogs topped with a second hot dog

Just made three Olymel 100% beef dogs with (from bottom to top): relish, dog, peperoncini, chopped onion, a strip of smoked bacon, mustard, jalapeno havarti. Sort of a Chicago-Montreal hybrid, if Montreal had class.

11:30 a.m. - 2 p.m. HOT DOG LUNCH - The American Meat Institute celebrates National Hot Dog Day with its Annual Hot Dog Lunch on Capitol Hill. With honorary co-hosts: Rep.

That's awesome. Makes me want to run for the Hot Dog council.

career path = bovine university > american meat institute

had a Chicago dog tonight, half of the 2 for 1 Wednesday special at Niko's... spot on if slightly squashed

i like ordering the 'stoner packs' from local hot dog place cuz they are always full of surprises. today i got two dogs wrapped in bacon, one with a fried egg and american cheese & the other with cream cheese, bagel seeds & scallionz. and tater tots. mmm fattey

I figured out that the key to making tofu dogs palatable for me is by adding a slice of cheddar cheese. They become utterly indistinguishable from cheap turkey franks.

Ever had a burger dog? Awesome and disgusting!
