Mustard, Ketchup and Relish

Mustard, ketchup, dill relish
ThatGirl153 at 12:12PM on 05/09/07
Kraut, mustard.
Barbara Hanson at 12:16PM on 05/09/07
ketchup, no bun.
ceforrester at 12:21PM on 05/09/07
sauerkraut and mustard. or mustard and relish. with a soy-based hotdog.
caley at 12:41PM on 05/09/07
Mustard only, please!
Well, except that if I'm at Crif Dogs in the East Village I'll have it wrapped in bacon with avocado and sour cream on top, and at Dash Dogs on the Lower East Side I like it with cilantro salsa and garlic aioli. My mom went to Lourdes on a pilgrimage and hopefully one day my equivalent experience will be to Chicago's Hot Doug's.

Mustard and Ketchup hot off of the BBQ
Sarahrm at 12:47PM on 05/09/07
Coney dogs, Detroit style, Chilli, mustard, onoins. Michigan ave. National coney island. When I lived in Detroit over 30 years ago it was Alexander & Horning (sp) natural casing hotdogs with just mustard and onions.
Colorado Jim at 12:51PM on 05/09/07
Charcoal grilled (if you're ever in WNY...try Ted's Hot Dogs...the original charcoal grilled dog)....with ketchup, onions & pickle on the side.
mepolo at 12:52PM on 05/09/07
Koegel's natural casing Viennas from Flint are my faves, and like Lia, I prefer mustard only. Of course, a Flint-style coney sauce is a mighty fine addition, and then it also needs chopped onion.
LunaPierCook at 12:56PM on 05/09/07
mustard, mayonaise and relish. No ketchup please. Or chili, cheese and onions.
dconnor at 1:06PM on 05/09/07
yellow mustard and onions
malenky at 1:25PM on 05/09/07
I'm a Chicago boy, so when I can I eat my hot dog with mustard, a pickle spear, chopped onion and halved tomato slices. Celery salt is good, but not a requirement.
Since I live in NYC and this type of dog is rarely offered and almost never done right, I usually just get it with mustard and sauerkraut. It's not the same, but it'll do.
capndesign at 1:27PM on 05/09/07
Once a year, with chili, red onions and Vietnamese hot sauce.
Matt Charron at 1:27PM on 05/09/07
Dijon or Creole mustard. Period.
dksbook at 1:45PM on 05/09/07
I'm a soy boy or not-dog girl now, but I'll eat those cooked until the outside is really crispy. I top them with spicy, horseradish mustard on a whole grain bun. Of course, there's always the corn dog...
hereandthe at 1:48PM on 05/09/07
Ashamed secret love admission: corn dogs. Lots of ketchup.
I'm bad, I know...
I'm also a sucker for a Home Depot hot dog. Ketchup & relish.
sheldel at 2:13PM on 05/09/07
Grilled over boiled. Raw onion, not that cooked onion-stuff that NY vendors slosh on. Mustard. And often Chicago-style, if it's available, at least to the point of sport pepper (opened, drained and just a few seeds dribbled onto the dog) and tomato wedges. Nathan's dogs are fine; just spare me the fries, which my Brooklyn-born spouse adores.
lemons at 2:14PM on 05/09/07
Normally just plain mustard and that's it...but sometimes relish, onions and mustard is great... never ketchup!
Alm25 at 2:15PM on 05/09/07
I don't eat "hot dogs."
I think that the "ingredients list" reads like a horror story ... a story in which I do not wish to participate.
BUT, it's an interesting topic, nonetheless.
DocChuck at 2:18PM on 05/09/07
For me it is just katchup, but I have to agree with Colorado Jim that most people seem to agree the Detroit area coney's are the greatest.
jsholar at 2:20PM on 05/09/07
Wow...I never knew Home Depot had hot dogs...that's wild! Are they roller dogs like 7/11?
DocChuck...I'm curious...do you eat fois gras?
mepolo at 2:28PM on 05/09/07
If I had really considered the question more fully, I would have answered thusly: At the One True Nathan's, on the boardwalk, with kraut, mustard, and those amazing fries.
Barbara Hanson at 2:28PM on 05/09/07
mepolo:
I'm glad you posed that question, mepolo.
Follow the link below and you will have my answer . . . but I was posting under "BunglingBill" on Roadfood.com . . . because they kicked me off (as DocChuck) for disagreeing with their "moderators."
NOW, they have kicked me off as "BunglingBill" because some guy calling himself "TonyBad" called me a liar, and I rebutted him. Roadfood.com does NOT allow any "sass" directed towards their holier-than-thou "moderators".
Oh well, Roadfood.com, so long, and good riddance!
The link is: http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=18881
p.s. I have a STRONG opinion about people who eat Foie Gras . . . but I don't think I would be allowed to post it on this forum. PLUS, I doubt that you would be interested. PLUS, it is a bit "off-topic".
DocChuck at 2:52PM on 05/09/07
On most dogs I'm with the old fashioned crowd: ketchup, mustard, relish. I like a good kraut dog or a chili dog if the mood is right. However there is one hot dog which requires nothing but a bun (preferrably a potato bread bun): a Secrist hot dog from York, PA. Oh my oh my... those are babies are plump, greasy and holy.
AlexRaine at 3:07PM on 05/09/07
just a single stripe of yellow mustard
hohnsolo at 3:27PM on 05/09/07
Mustard and cole slaw. Slaw dogs rule!
Ed Levine at 3:42PM on 05/09/07
Good chili, sharp cheddar, vidalia onions.
ronfrankl at 3:42PM on 05/09/07
Thanks for responding DocChuck...I posed the question not to flame, so I'm glad you didn't take it in that sense.....sometimes you find people who are funky about some foods, but perfectly willing to eat other questionable things.
I love hot dogs, but I'm not sure I'm willing to know exactly what is in them. I am a hot dog snob though....I only eat local brands, Wardzynski's or Sahlens....good old WNY dogs! :-)
Thanks for the insight!
mepolo at 4:01PM on 05/09/07
Ends slit, several cuts in the middle, too, so that they char a little, cooked at home.
If with slaw, fry thinly sliced onion first & sometimes throw drained slaw in the pan for a minute or two. LOTS of Dijon. Toasted pumpernickel or rye. Fancy bottle of root beer.
And, yes, very Birkenstocks of me, but: slivers of avocado, salted and squirted with lime, diced red onion & chopped ripe tomato if in season. If not, oven-roasted grape tomatoes. Toasted oatmeal bread coated w plenty of Dijon. Good with strawberry lemonade or yogurt smoothie.
Eliz. at 4:35PM on 05/09/07
Oops, make the fried slaw in post above sauerkraut!
Eliz. at 4:37PM on 05/09/07
I learned this from some guys from Chile... Chopped and salted tomatoes and avocado slices. (they would put it on a hard bun, opposed to a hot dog one). Yum..
alynn at 4:57PM on 05/09/07
I like a good salsa on hot dogs!
pageycooks at 5:20PM on 05/09/07
Chopped white onions and spicy mustard
However foie gras on a hotdog sounds interesting....
(knows what is in a hotdog and couldn't care less)
[grin]
shea at 5:24PM on 05/09/07
Grilled in butter, with sauerkraut and Coleman's mustard on a lightly toasted bun.
toolminer at 6:25PM on 05/09/07
cooked extra crispy with hot mustard slaw
huney_bumper at 7:01PM on 05/09/07
burnt to a crisp with RELISH (ew, I know, but for hot dogs I make an exception) and spicy mustard. yum!

BRAZILIAN!!!

Pure Chicago Dog - relish, onions, tomato, celery salt, mustard.
Otherwise I love a very burned campfire dog with just ketchup.
mel at 10:11PM on 05/09/07
In Mexico they wrap'em in bacon and grill them.
Really good just like that!
chameleonz at 12:16AM on 05/10/07
Grilled or a costco hot dog
spicy mustard, kraut and raw onion and if I am at home branston pickle
ALL BEEF! no exceptions
To doc chuck, we love strong opinons and I am sure we will love to disagree with you.
What is a home depot hot dog?
JerzeeTomato at 1:51AM on 05/10/07
Lunapiercook, ditto on the Koegel Vienna from Flint, the best! Mustard, ketchup, onion, chopped sweet pickle.
sw8t at 3:58AM on 05/10/07
A good quality all beef dog needs only mustard. A milder dog with pork is ok with mustard and chili. Or the unique relish served at Rutt's Hut.
hotdoglover at 5:49AM on 05/10/07
Grilled with mustard and onions or steamed with chili, cheese and onions!
play-with-food at 6:52AM on 05/10/07
JerzeeTomato, some home depots have food vendors out front. the ones i've been to sell polish dogs, hot dogs, and philly cheese steaks.
i have to admit, though, that i'm a big Costco polish dog fan.
french tart at 9:07AM on 05/10/07
Grilled polish dog on a french roll with a ton of cream cheese and a bit of dill relish. Yuuum
SeattleGirl at 2:59PM on 05/10/07
I prefer natural skin dogs, but if that's not available I like Hebrew National. I like them with Plochman's mustard, catsup spread on a toasted bun, very small diced WallaWalla onion and a very light sprinkling of sweet relish. Alternatively, medium spicy chili, sharp cheddar and, again, small diced WallaWalla onions.
Oh yeah, and I LOVE a good corn dog with lots of yellow mustard for dipping-- never catsup. One of the places that came to the county fair when I was a kid had a gallon jar of mustard with the lid modified with a pastry brush attached through a hole in the lid and you could paint on as much mustard as you wanted. Now it is all just packets of mustard because everyone is afriad of tampering and germs.
