I disagree - too much extraneous sh*t on there - I bet you can't even taste the tails, hooves, or snout.iuparrothead wrote:Don't knock it 'til you try it... a real Chicago hot dog is perfection!rednekkPH wrote:A hot dog with no ketchup? That's crazy talk...

Silly... Portillos, or the one up here anyway, doesn't put ketchup on if you order it with everything... they only do if you specifically request it.iuparrothead wrote:'Tis a great hot dog, but it violates the cardinal rule of hot dogs... NO KETCHUP!!!Tiki Bar wrote:Portillo's... with everything: mustard, relish, tomato, pickle, sport peppers, onions, celery salt... had one today for lunch asamatterofact!
By the way, at home or a ballgame, or anywhere other than a "hot dog stand", I eat my hot dogs with just ketchup!

A-ha! This I did not know since I've only been to Portillo's once or twice... we only have one here in the city and it's not very convenient for me to go to.Tiki Bar wrote:Silly...

And I can understand this... I usually load my hot dogs with ketchup away from Wrigleyville Dogs!Tiki Bar wrote:By the way, at home or a ballgame, or anywhere other than a "hot dog stand", I eat my hot dogs with just ketchup!

Brown mustard is the only way to go. I only use yellow mustard if I have no choice.

I dont like ketchup on them either and the only time I want mustard is if sauerkraut is on there.

Irving's in Wrigleyville will throw you out if you ask for Cat Soup.
Irvings and Super Dawg in Niles, Il are the two best.
addendum to Ann's post.
Vienna Beef Hot Dogs ONLY and poppy seed buns from S. Rosens Bakery or they are not authentic

Come on people, every self respecting cow part eater knows that ketchup is for burgers and Mustard (deli style - no puss yellow stuff) is for Hot Dogs.

The Chicago Hot Dog is perfect.
Boiled or steamed, not grilled, it lies regally in a lightly steamed poppy-seed bun and is anointed with:
Diced onion
Tomato wedges
Pickle relish the color of Kryptonite
Yellow mustard
A few sport peppers
A dill pickle spear
A shake of celery salt
There's your classic Chicago-style dog, a perfect teaming of tastes and colors and textures.
We don't have to mention, no ketchup! None! Ever! Do we?

What about chilie (no beans) on a dog?

Portillos is probably almost the only thing I miss about Chicago. We went there recently for a fam thing and went to portillo's twice. Yum. Everything but the hot pepper.
