Chicago dogs are great. Almost all hot dogs are great. It's hard to screw up a hot dog, even one sitting around in room temp water. It's salted processed meat. Most the time it will taste good.

Me too. Seriously, why would someone even care about this.

Maybe it’s an east coast thing but ketchup on hot dogs as common as mustard.

Enough is enough. Strip this bum of his moderator powers ^

No ketchup on hot dogs people.

I've never understood why Chicago is known for their hot dogs without ketchup and deep dish pizza when the Italian Beef is a much better local product.

Not to mention, the thin crust pizza is a better local product. 

I hate having to explain this to people around me here in South Carolina when I tell them I am from Chicago and they immediately bring up deep dish. They can't even comprehend that we have thin crust back home. Much less that it's fantastic. 

Ketchup doesn’t go on a Chicago style hot dog.  If you like ketchup on a hot dog, 100% your prerogative, just don’t call it a Chicago dog.  It’s that simple.  Ketchup nazis can fuck off into the sun.

Same.

 

I'm pro Moncada again.  He's going to light it up in the 2nd half. 

Cuban

Garlic Fries

 

Chicago Dog hold the Sport Peppers need the celery salt... I think sport peppers are more of a garnish does anyone eat them?

I like a good plain cheese dog

 

I have no opinion on ketchup.  I will put on if I make it with mustard relish and celery salt

Of course you eat the sport peppers. I love them on a hotdog. Chicago style is simply the best way. I do however enjoy them ballpark style - smothered to the top with grilled onions. 

Hot dogs with mustard only

Italian beef/sausage combo.

tom tom hot tamales

chicago pizza regular crust

and won ton soup with white rice in it.

as someone who hasnt lived in illinois in the last 17 years, Chicago hotdogs hit different. I always make it a point to grab some hot dogs when i come up. 

But a lot of it has to do with the beef.  Specifically Vienna beef, which is far superior.  I live in New York.  Nathan's hot dogs are shit.  They are so bad that at Mets games, I make a point of standing in the ShakeShack line just for hot dogs because they carry Vienna Beef.

I also put ketchup on hotdogs. Mustard is fucking gross. 

Fun thread- many thanks. Cool to see Yoan as a person. And man do I want a hot dog!!

An italian sausage is literally a bratwurst with roughly 2 additional spices. 

It's the other way around, Italian came first.   All sausage my friend is pork and a blend of spices unless you start getting into duck sausage etc.

When one slips through the five hole I think they over power everything and why I pass on them. 

In regard to Yoan, him having a stellar second half would make me forget that I hated him with a furious passion rather recently.

My wife went to visit a friend in Michigan a couple of weekends ago....she said her friend was on a Nathan's hot dog kick and I responded "gross".   I agree with you that they are awful.  Hebrew Nationals are made in Michigan and would be a much better alternative to Nathan's imo.

Speaking of condiments, my wife prefers a combination of mustard and ketchup when she has fries.  Anyone else?

I've been informed by my better half that she believes I did not properly describe how she eats her fries.....she puts some ketchup down and and some mustard down next to the ketchup but they never touch,  Then she drags her fries in the valley between so she gets both the ketchup and mustard.  But once again the mustard and ketchup never should mix.  So that's corrected.  I do apologize for the previous erroneous reporting.

My chip dip is thoroughly blended to a delicious orange concoction. I find your wife's method very curious.

I'm afraid orange is not in her color wheel. ?

Going to the game tonight and reading this thread makes me want to fast all day so I can crush some ballpark food

Left last century . . . My first few meals when in town. 

Deep Dish from Lou's - sausage and mushroom

Portillo's hotdog, run in through the garden and don't let it come close to a ketchup container.

Sammy's beef with extra giardiniera

Bill's thin crust sausage, mushroom, onion, green pepper. Leftovers for breakfast, cold. 

I may be the only person in Texas history to eat healthier once they moved TO Texas.

Nothing like some square cut thin crust pizza.
