"Hot Dogs" BATTLE!!! CHICAGO RULES

[Cuppy]

Hot dog has a sausage (usually cheap and made 80% of flour) between a bun, ketchup and mustard on the top.

Ketchup
French fries
Grilled hot dog
Nacho chesse

All inside of cose. Its soooogoooooooooood. (tho i need to lose weight the next day)

[Pipebomb]

The best my area can do is a local chain called Ted's Hot Dogs. I'm hungry...

[Ghaleon]

For me it's a coney, a hot dog on a bun with mustard Cincinnati style chilli and grated cheese. I prefer homemade or from Skyline.

Did we not have this discussion a couple of days ago? Anyway when I want a hot dog, I buy a couple of rustic sausages from the butcher (with a bit of leek in them, it helps mellow the tanginess of all that fat), get a bagguette, prepare some marinara, sautee a few peppers with the sausage and make one of these:

are those bell peppers.....try some habaneroes or ghost peppers.

Haven't had a hotdog since I went to America 21 years ago

[Xandrigity]

My favorite hot dog has a dry chili and onion topping. Haven't found a good one since I lived in Richmond Va, some 20 years ago.

I believe this is the place I used to go to. If anyone is close I highly suggest it.

Half the selections here aren't even hot dogs. A good chili cheese dog with lots of onions is the perfect dog.

[Enthusiastic Steward]

Please tell me this is fake. No true American eats their dog without a bun.

Does using bread count? Or does it have to be a hot dog bun specifically? (I have celiac, and for whatever reason the secret to making a gluten free hot dog bun that isn't total shit eludes us)

I usually go with bratwurst. Jalapeno cheddar brats topped with habanero cheese, garlic, grilled onions.

I like a chorizo extra hot with a normal toasted hotdog bun someketchup and mustard. I also like choclate milk with my hotdogs :O

Need to note though that hot dogs in sweden are way diffrent then in the US

I don't think anyone can still like a hotdog when you've had the real German version.

[enragedgorilla]

Caspers hot dog (CA thing I believe) or Kaspers steamed
Sliced onion
Sliced Tomato
Mustard
Relish
Steamed bun

2 to go , my usual for 35 years.

Even as a native New Yorker, Chicago's Hot Dog is the best. It is the finest example of a Hot Dog as it is known in the United States.

A few American food styles are no-bullshit the best. So much so that any variation otherwise is largely a waste of time/insulting to consider by comparison; New York Pizza, Chicago Hot Dogs, Texas Brisket, Georgian Southern Fried Chicken.

It's not that I haven't had good fried chicken in Mexico or Los Angles. A decent hot dog in St. Louis or fine brisket in Pennsylvania. It's just not the quintessential or exemplar form in those areas as a legitimate New York slice or Chicago Vienna dog.

I'm a fan of a nice chili cheese dog myself

Chili (beanless) and cheese
Mustard if chili isn't available

When at home.
Cheap hotdogs with chill and cheese.

No damn veggies at all on mah hawt dawgs

You forgot the diced onions

[Molis]

So the the good Ol' U S of A is known for Hot dogs (or "dawgs" for the less cultured)

When you hear "hot dog!" what do you think when you order one, what do you GET when you order one, and where are you from?

ME: Chicago, baby! haha! It better be:

A vienna beef frank

mustard
relish
onion
tomato
cucumber
pickle
hot peppers
(omg how did you forget Celery Salt?!) - Greek woman

I agree! I am from LA, however half my family is from/lives in Chicago (MT Prospect)

When I am there it is Portillo's every other day
