How to Make a Chicago Hot Dog
You have not eaten a hot dog until you've eaten a Chicago hot dog. In just a few steps, you can enjoy this unique gastronomical delight, share it with all your friends and join an elite level of carnivorous snobs!
Steps
- Steam a hot dog bun until soft; not soggy.
- Place a cooked Beef hot dog in the bun.
- Coat hot dog with yellow mustard to your liking.
- Sprinkle with chopped onion (grilled or raw).
- Spoon relish over onion, and then lay three sport peppers lengthwise.
- Garnish with tomato wedges, crisp pickle spear, and celery salt to taste.
Tips
- Use only All Beef hot dogs. There is no substitute for those seeking a genuine Chicago hot dog.
- Use only yellow mustard. Use of ketchup is not recommended.
- Relish should be of a neon-green hue.
- Some purists argue that only tomato "wedges" rather than the slices (photographed above) should be used.
- Cucumbers, green pepper strips, and table salt are acceptable options.
- Fries, if served with your hot dog, should be seeping with grease and well salted.
Warnings
- Never use ketchup on a Chicago hot dog. A purist won't even have a bottle of ketchup in the same room. (If you must use ketchup, use it on your fries.)
