How do you eat your hot dogs?
When I was replying to Perky's question about favourite nearly-charred-grilled foods, I realised that while grilled hot dogs may be a common favourite, there are so many ways of eating them!
Like I wrote in Perky's thread, I like mine grilled, with Coleman's mustard or ketchup. No relish, no sauerkraut, not even a bun. Just a charred hot dog and some Coleman's mustard or a charred hot dog and some ketchup (even though I've heard that in some places eating a hot dog with ketchup easily qualifies as an offence punishable by public hanging!)
So, how do you eat your hot dogs?

I'd point to my Flint-style coney island recipe but that's a whole 'nother thread.
Of course, I put yellow mustard on it. [Perk ... neener-neener-NEEEner!]

Grilled or broiled, yellow mustard, relish, chopped onions, and a hint of ketchup, on a bun.
embolini9 at 7:53PM on 05/25/08
Ding dong, ding dong.......
(copied from charred thread).......Has the world gone cock-eyed? Mustard on burgers and ketchup on hotdogs? It's just wrong people. Backward, upside down, turned around wrong. Can you hear my hands wringing?
To answer your question Brooke29: Blistered, on a buttered grilled bun with spicy brown mustard. Additional possible toppings (but why fool with perfection?) could be diced raw onion or sauerkraut. That's it.
@FearsomePiersome......you didn't scare me none - I ain't yeller.
PerkyMac at 8:01PM on 05/25/08
@ Perky - LOL! What can I do, I grew up eating hot dogs with ketchup! (strangely, as far as I remember, my parents ate hot dogs with mustard...go figure!) I don't think I had tried mustard on hot dogs until my late teens or early twenties. Oh well...can we still be friends? :-)
brooke29 at 8:16PM on 05/25/08
With spicy mustard, relish and onions.
paris221966 at 8:31PM on 05/25/08
@Brooke...........call me a cock-eyed optimist, but OK, as long as we promise to never bring up this subject again. It pains my taste buds. ;0
PerkyMac at 8:33PM on 05/25/08
Either one of 7 ways:
- with chili poured all over the hot dog and bun, with 2 scoops rice and potato or macaroni salad
- as a waffle hot dog - 'nuff said
- with sauerkraut only, in a bun
- lots of ketchup, a very small amount of mustard, and chopped up dill pickles (hate sweet pickles)
- as an andadog - 'nuff said
- fried with sriracha and Pietro sesame dressing, served with rice
- as a pig in a blanket - 'nuff said (that description has always makes me laugh)
Cassaendra at 8:35PM on 05/25/08
I like it "Carolina style" - beanless chili, coleslaw, and mustard on a bun. However, when I'm home and feeling lazy, I'll either slice it up and eat it as a sandwich with American cheese and bbq sauce or toss it in baked beans for beanie weenies.
jenilowrance at 8:41PM on 05/25/08
@Cassaendra.......is it still a pig in a blanket if it's a turkey dog or all beef dog? hmmmm..........
andadog? as in gimme a burgerandadog?
PerkyMac at 8:42PM on 05/25/08
What is this business of spicy mustard on Dogs? Never heard of that...
@Cassaendra: what is a waffle hot dog?
I am intrigued about a buttered bun though...never had that.
I like hot dogs many ways-but I barely eat them.
broiled
grilled (charred preferably, but I'll take it if not)
with chili and cheese
with cheese, ketchup, YELLOW mustard, relish, sauerkraut
On a toasted bun please, but I'll take otherwise
Butrflygirly at 8:50PM on 05/25/08
Perky! ROFL Imagining a turkey in a blanket and cow in a blanket made me laugh pretty hard.
Andadog is a hotdog on a skewer that is deep-fried in a coating of andagi batter so it's has a corndog appearance.
Andagi is an Okinawan "donut." It's a spherical deep-fried cake with a faint sweetness, and no sugar coating.
Cassaendra at 8:53PM on 05/25/08
@Perkministan, that's mayonnaise and chopped green olives on a burger with meunster.
I'm off ta' fill the yeller squeezzie bottles we dun' got fer the gallon'o French's we bought at th' restaurant supply shop today. I'll send ya' one so ya' kin learn the right toppins.
LunaPierCook at 8:54PM on 05/25/08
A second on the question of waffle dogs, please.
Me, usually it's mustard and onion, although a Chicago Vienna Beef dog warrants the seeds from the sport pepper being sprinkled over the top as an addition. Here in the Midwest we never se the buns that allow for grilling on each side; I've run into them occasionally in New England (or, back in the dark ages, with the fried clams at Howard Johnson's). Yes, grilled is usually better than steamed, but harder to find.
And natural casing rules.
lemons at 9:02PM on 05/25/08
Here's another of mine, which is pretty popular around here when I make 'em:
Michigan Corn Dogs
Of course, I always dress them with a squiggle of YELLOW mustard ...
LunaPierCook at 9:12PM on 05/25/08
@Butrflygirly: a waffle hot dog was created at KC Drive-In (no longer in business) in Honolulu. Instead of a bun, it's a hotdog that's cooked with waffle batter in their special waffle iron. Even though the drive-in is not in business, it's still available. It's similar to a pig in a blanket but it's a waffle. Oh, no syrup.
Cassaendra at 9:12PM on 05/25/08
grilled on a toasted bun with yellow mustard, sharp american and hot pickles. Y-U-M.
chili and cheese, mustard and onions
tomato, pickle, yellow mustard, onion, sport peppers, celery salt on a poppy seed bun
I prefer Kosher beef hot dogs.
ChelleyD01 at 9:21PM on 05/25/08
Oooh, the waffle dog sounds like something I would eat right now! With ketchup, of course (ducking)
@Perky - now I promise not to bring it up ever again!:-)
brooke29 at 9:51PM on 05/25/08
We just had this for dinner: grilled Nathan's hot dog on a soft bun with ketchup AND yellow mustard.
onespicymama at 10:06PM on 05/25/08
@cassaendra: Thanks! That sounds interesting. I would definitely like to try that.
Butrflygirly at 10:16PM on 05/25/08
Kosher beef hot dog charred. A slice of swiss cheese in the bottom of a
warm hot dog bun with raw onions and mustard and sauerkraut.
Ketchup on a hot dog ? reminds me of Spaghetti-o's !!!
stacemace at 10:37PM on 05/25/08
2 ways
#1 simple bun and mustard
#2 cut up and deep fried along with french fries-all dipped in ketchup
(Colombians call this "Salchipapas"
I'll also eat 'em w/ kraut, onions, and other stuff but these two ways are my favs.
coolname at 10:40PM on 05/25/08
BBQ sauce, dijon, and chopped onions.
I've been wanting to try and make my own bacon dogs, first by lightly heating the bacon in a pan to hopefully get some fat rendered off, then wrapping around a hot dog and grilling. Would it work? How's the risk for flare ups and such?
browntown at 10:52PM on 05/25/08
Either one of 2 ways:
"redneck" Carolina style: chili (no beans), yellow mustard, and onions. no ketchup. no mayo. no relish. no kraut. no slaw.
or charred black.
beth1 at 11:49PM on 05/25/08
oo when i was little i loved eating hot dogs cut up and mixed in my white rice. i feel like that's the meal my dad made when it fell to him to "cook." now as a vegetarian, i love my veggie dogs (and veggie patties) with lots of fun toppings - guacamole, different cheeses, grilled vegetables, fried eggs - got to keep it interesting :) crif dogs in the east village has lots of great toppings for their hot dogs (and cheese-covered tater tots! OMG) - unfortunately their veggie dogs are twice as expensive as the regular ones :(
billyburgwife at 11:52PM on 05/25/08
@El Pee Senor.......FYI......that French Parisian YELLOW musTURD tastes and smells like what it was named for - the, shall we say, leftovers of le infants. Spicy brown mustard is a condiment vs. vinegary yellow excrement. Hope that clears it up and you are ready to mend your ways and refill those squeegees and gallon jugs. (Choking on my hotdog as I lmao). You've elevated me to a country? Perkministan. Wow! I can make my own rules. I'm SO happy!!! NO MORE YELLOW MUSTARD ALLOWED! HEAR ME? I SAID IT ALOUD - NOT ALLOWED!
p.s. your corn dogs sound amazing. i love jiffy corn muffin mix.
PerkyMac at 12:12AM on 05/26/08
Fried in butter until blistered on a Martin's potato roll. I usually add either:
a)ketchup and chopped onion
b)ketchup and cole slaw
c)brown mustard and sauerkraut
The hot dogs themselves are ALWAYS Hebrew National.
sobriquet at 12:20AM on 05/26/08
Grilled, with twice as much mustard as ketchup, with raw chopped onions, on a steamed bun. And preferably gotten at an MLB stadium. The dog does //not// have to stick outside the bun.
TikiPundit at 1:41AM on 05/26/08
I'm a vegetarian now, but as a very little girl I liked split, grilled hot dogs best with mustard from the Windmill in Long Branch or the sort of red, wrinkly dogs with mustard at the Ground Round, a local chain.
For some reason, I always had Nathan's with relish and mustard or sauerkraut from the hot dog 'fixin's bar.'
I loved hot dogs more than hamburgers as a kid, but now I can't even eat veggie dogs. I had a weird theory that the skinny kids on hot dog days at school (one of my favorite lunch days) liked hot dogs plain, the heaviest and most athletic, muscular kids (sorry brooke29--I know you're a delicate Brit and my theory doesn't apply to you) liked ketchup and the 'normal' size kids (of course like myself) like mustard.
I wonder if the people who like them with ketchup grew up eating them with baked beans.
I don't think mustard is weird on hamburgers, btw--isn't ketchup and mustard a classic combo, and normal on most fast food burgers like McDonald's?
HeartofGlass at 6:18AM on 05/26/08
Mom's Hot Dog Onions
2 Tbsp. Olive oil
2 Large onions, peeled and sliced
3-5 Cloves Garlic, chopped
3 Tbsp. Red Wine or Cider Vinegar
1/2 cup Tomato (leftover marinara works well - or a small can of tomato "sauce")
1 tsp. chopped fresh or 1/2 tsp. dry oregano
S&P to taste
Heat oil in a large saute pan. Add onion slices and chopped garlic. Decrease heat to low, cover, and cook until onions are soft, around 15 minutes. (Maybe longer.) Add vinegar and bump heat up to about medium. Add tomato sauce and simmer five minutes or so. Add oregano, S&P and stir. Taste and adjust seasoning.
We never ate a hot dog in my house without this oniony adornment. Add mustard to the dog if you like, then spoon on the onion mixture.
You can make it spicy by adding a couple of dashes of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne. If you want it saucier, increase the amount of tomato.
chiff0nade at 8:22AM on 05/26/08
@PerquistiDORK, ya' fell for it ... former Soviet state ... NO YELLOW MUSTARD ALLOWED! ;-) You'd rather have what it's named for ... Grey Poopon! [rotflmao!] Sumtimes, yer too easy ... :-D
Chelsea Milling still allows tours at the one-and-only Jiffy plant in Chelsea, Michigan. The tour starts with something right out of the oven in the plant's guest room, and finishing with free boxes of stuff at the end, just like Kellogg's did many years ago. The place has a real homey feel to it. Every time I take a tour I want to buy more Jiffy products if only to help support those great folks.
Anywayz, back ta' weiners ... Here in the midwest we have GFS Marketplace, retail outlets for Gordon Food Service, which has been around for over 100 years. They have multi-packs of various grades of their own brand of decent hot dogs. The lowest grade is $5.99 for 50 hot dogs or 12 cents each. Their most expensive works out to 25 cents each, which are actually some pretty decent dogs. Of course, I also had to get some Koegel Viennas for today for the grown-ups, but even those are 75% of what I'd pay at a grocery.
LunaPierCook at 9:08AM on 05/26/08
Grilled with Goulden's spicy brown on a grilled PF flat side bun. Keeping it simple here!
izatryt at 10:51AM on 05/26/08
@myself - I can spell, really! Gulden's
izatryt at 10:56AM on 05/26/08
Hey, HeartofGlass, at least in Hawaii, which is likely an anomaly compared to the rest of the US, the best burger joints put mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard on their burgers. It's served with lettuce and tomatoes, as well as Maui onions. (Since I don't eat onions, it's not a factor in my burgers. If they are in my burger, it goes straight into the rubbish can.)
For me...I don't care for mustard, since I don't like vinegary/sour stuff and I hate horseradish, so I generally order mustard on the side and put in 1/8 of a teaspoon on my burger, hot dog, or for my fries, which I eat with mayonnaise, some ketchup, and a dot of mustard.
Cassaendra at 11:00AM on 05/26/08
Cassaendra--Hawaii? No Spam hot dogs?
Mustard on fries--now that's mustard HARD CORE-even I couldn't hack that!
HeartofGlass at 11:04AM on 05/26/08
I love grilled hot dogs with mustard and sauerkraut. I also love chili, cheddar cheese, mustard and onions.
My husband loves his hot dogs with ketchup and grilled onions.
Delinia at 11:29AM on 05/26/08
Must be charred with
Spicy brown mustard, chopped onions, relish
or spicy brown mustard and saurkraut
or deli mustard and potato salad
deefine at 11:44AM on 05/26/08
Hot dogs - preferably grilled and a little charred, but not totally blackened. Browned in a skillet is acceptable as well. Not really into flabby steamed or boiled hot dogs.
Toppings - mustard, relish and a little ketchup placed under the dog in the bun. Sauerkraut and grilled onions are acceptable as well, but then I leave off the ketchup. Chili and cheese are also fine, but then I don't want any other condiments, maybe grilled onions. But, again, all condiments go under the dog. I find it's much less messy to eat the hot dog in that manner.
Amandarama at 12:03PM on 05/26/08
I may just be a New York purist, but I like a nice kosher dog with something like Gulden's spicy brown mustard. Never been a sauerkraut person. However, I have had fun eating a Chicago-style dog. Also, Seattle has a chain, Matt's Gourmet Hot Dogs, that does a Southern-style slaw dog that was very enjoyable as well as a "New York" dog with sauerkraut, stewed "red" onions and mustard on their lovely poppy-seed buns. I didn't think that I'd like that, but I did.
Stushi at 12:08PM on 05/26/08
@LPCooCooBirdNerdster.......Neener....Neener........yerownself........you said it baby. Yellow MusTURD and Grey POOPon - same nasty yeller stuff. And BTW, at my advanced age ya gotta be somewhat easy, ya know what I'm sayin'? Play hard to get & you could be a stiff at any moment!
(pssst........don't tell that lunacy guy, but I kinda like PoopOn for other applications, but never the yeller, ever!
@izatright has the right idea. PF flat sided bun (buttered and grilled) with spicy brown mustard. I like spicy dogs too - Nathan's is the easiest to find.
Any other spicy & available dogs out there?
PerkyMac at 12:12PM on 05/26/08
@MamaPucker, advanced age? Be careful or that spicy brown stuff might make the backside'a yer Depends overflow.
Ya' know, there's a question: "What's your favorite thing in a hot dog bun?" Could be a brat, a Tony Packo's Hungarian, a simple hot dog w/ kraut ... You want to ask, or should I?
LunaPierCook at 1:38PM on 05/26/08
@LPC - Seems like you already did! For me it is lobster salad. Of course on a PF grilled hotdog bun.
izatryt at 1:46PM on 05/26/08
I don't, unless their Euro-wieners.
There's something about North American hot dogs that makes me barf.
hungrychristel at 1:47PM on 05/26/08
Yikes reading all of this made me cringe! Ketchup on a hotdog? CHARRED?!?! Marinara?!?!?! Toasted BUNS?! Good lordy I need a drink...
Chicago Style - Dragged through the garden.
Steamed Poppy Seed Bun
Vienna 100% all Beef Frank - steamed or boiled - never grilled
Yellow mustard
Chopped white onion
Sweet (neon green) pickle relish
Dill pickle spear
Tomato slices
Sport peppers
and a dash of celery salt...
but never EVER ketchup...
You freaks! :o)
bodaciousgirl at 1:57PM on 05/26/08
Dogs have to have spicy brown mustard. Can also add saukraut, coleslaw, a touch of ketchup or siracha. (These are exclusive to each other). Raw white onions are also perfect with pretty much everything.
If you're looking for a peppery, slightly spicy dog, try a coney (aka white hot, white snappy). Theyre similar to weiswurst. These have to be charred, either on a grill or in a frying pan with some butter. Best served on a New England style roll. I grew up in Syracuse and never saw them in Philly until the great institution of Wegman's came into the area. Now I stock up on the 5 lb bags when we make the trip. =)
marianne215 at 2:11PM on 05/26/08
@bodaciousgirl - When in Chicago!
@marianne215 - Another PA poster. Where in Philly are you? I am in Mohnton (near Reading).
izatryt at 2:28PM on 05/26/08
@marianne215.......we used to get these great hotdogs in Syracuse (long and spicy), but I forget the name. They were famous. We also bought big boxes of them and brought them home to PA. Since there is no more family there, we don't go anymore. Do you know of whom I speak?
@LPC.......I believe we are in the same age range gramps, so watch yourself. I have two answers to your query - the first is lobster roll. ;-O
PerkyMac at 2:33PM on 05/26/08
If it's a really great snappy dog---naked.
If not, everything but the kitchen sink.
bessfour at 2:56PM on 05/26/08
I love ketchup on hot dogs. Just ketchup. And fried onions if they're available. There's no snobbery about mustard vs ketchup in Canada, as far as I can tell.
blush at 3:57PM on 05/26/08
@PerkGrandma, I admit to knowing nuthin' about your age group. "(T)he first is lobster roll": dannnnnnnnnngggg ... ;-)
LunaPierCook at 3:59PM on 05/26/08
Slathered in ketchup. Yum!
cochon at 4:05PM on 05/26/08
I haven't had a hot dog in 25 yrs. I ate a few veggie dogs about 10 yrs ago, but now I don't eat those either... The whole concept of a hot dog really repulses me!
PeanutButter at 5:06PM on 05/26/08
Um, since I'm evil, I like mayo, ketchup and onions...
(hanging my head in shame)...
No, I'm not one of those who likes mayo on all things, but on something hot and grilled, I sometimes do...
lo82070 at 5:07PM on 05/26/08
After finding a large, dessicated sewer beetle inside a hot dog, I no longer eat hot dogs. . .
fewteeth at 5:39PM on 05/26/08
@HeartofGlass - my Gran would have loved it if your theory were true:-). Although I did like Heinz baked beans when I was a child, whether with hot dogs or without.
I'm pleased to see, however, that I'm not the only heretic in the bunch with my love for ketchup on hot dogs! But I'm certainly inspired to try some other ways now, too (especially, chiff's hot dog onions).
brooke29 at 5:48PM on 05/26/08
charred. I'll only eat a hot dog if it is grilled to burnt perfection. (My husband mocks me for it so I'm rather pleased to see that I am not alone in this.) And then I put on ketchup, and maybe some pickle relish and/or raw onions. B'more is far enough from Chicago that I think I can get away with it.
If I'm eating vegetarian "not-dogs" then I usually slice them up and throw them into a pot of Bush's vegetarian baked beans, because let's face it, veggie dogs just ain't even close to the real thing and it's no use trying to pretend that they are. (but the guilt level is so much lower that I eat veggie dogs far more often than actual hot dogs.)
AliceBlue at 6:40PM on 05/26/08
@Blush: I did not know there was snobbery around my parts either-but I guess there is. I thought EVERYONE ate ketchup on Dogs. But, I have to say, I do "relish" the fact (sorry for the pun, had to) that I am part of a rebellion.:)
To my way of thinking it's like pb&j...
@LunaPierCook: I'll start the thread if ya want!
Butrflygirly at 9:04PM on 05/26/08
Well charred, over an open fire, topped with salsa and cheese whiz.
sumonesmum at 11:29PM on 05/26/08
All of these comments make me hungry for a hot dog... again. I don't eat them often, but when I do, I rarely can eat just one. And then, when I do, I LOAD on the toppings--usually stuff with lots of bite, and nope, no ketchup. (I say again, as I had 2... and a couple additional bites of R's... just yesterday. But all that was available was 'kraut, relish and mustard--for me. I would have been thrilled to trade in the relish for some caramelized onions, pickles and jalapenos, though. :)
DrBinNY at 12:23AM on 05/27/08
Lots of chopped onions and spicy brown mustard.
HelloChris at 10:18AM on 05/27/08
Hebrew National or other kosher dogs, grilled or broiled till the skin is snappy and brown and crispy. I don't keep kosher, not at all, but there is nothing to compare with the flavor of a kosher dog. Serve it rolled in a slice of fresh rye bread (even better than a bun) with fine-grained Dijon mustard. Grey Poupon works.
Julie at 11:43AM on 05/27/08
Lots of mustard. If I'm feeling fancy - mustard and coleslaw. My God, I love coleslaw!
nevereverforever at 1:40PM on 05/27/08
grilled onions. that's it. you guys like some SPECIFIC hot dog toppings, jeez!
megannesta at 1:55PM on 05/27/08
1) Slightly charred, straight off of the stick, no condiments, washed down with a cold beer.
2) Cold, Raw, while standing at the kitchen counter.
3) Octopized. (I've never actually done this, but it looks like fun.)
ajeys at 3:04PM on 05/27/08
Do some people still eat the cocktail franks in the Pilsbury crescent rolls, dipped in mustard sauce, as appetizers?
HeartofGlass at 6:36PM on 05/27/08
I live in New Jersey where we have access to many styles of hot dogs. When I hit a hot dog joint, I enjoy them all kinds of ways. Pork based deep fried dogs (Rutt's Hut has a unique mustard based relish that is delicious) , "dirty water" or boiled dogs from a cart or truck, Italian style dogs (a N.J. creation) on pizza bread, kosher style grilled all beef dog, German style or "Boardwalk" griddled dog, West Jersey pork and beef dog fried and topped with mustard and pickle, or a North Jersey "Hot" Texas Weiner.
When I prepare dogs at home, most of the time I take a quality natural casing frank (either a spicier all beef dog or a milder German style pork and beef dog depending on my mood) simmer it in water and then put it on the backyard grill. I get a good sturdy food service bun (not the mushy supermarket junk) and top the dog with mustard only. That's all a quality dog needs. Favorite all beef dogs are Best's, (from N.J. not Chicago) Usinger's, Sabrett, Boars Head, Nathan's, and Pearl. Favorite beef and pork dogs are Thumann's, Kocher's, Sahlen's, Mucke's, Schickhaus, and Berk's.
hotdoglover at 7:41PM on 05/27/08
@izatryt - I'm right down in South Philly, a few blocks north of the stadiums. And speaking of dogs and stadiums, we were just at the Phillies game last night eating dollar dogs. I only had one, but that's cause I had eaten before the game. Normally I can do 4 or 5.
@PerkyMac - The only spicy dogs I know of from Syracuse are the white hots I wrote of earlier. I prefer Hoffman's brand. See here. Although I am sure there are other kinds, I wasn't much of an adventurous eater before I moved down to Philly, so rarely tried anything new.
marianne215 at 11:26PM on 05/27/08
Chili Cheese Slaw Dog, please! Or a Varsity chili dog with good old French's yellow mustard and chopped onions. Hot-lanta here I come! YUMM-EE!
whoizzit at 9:37AM on 05/28/08
Thing One: A buttered and grilled New England hot dog bun filled with the dog, topped with mustard (your choice) and sweet relish sitting at a picnic table with bare feet in the sand on the coast of Maine.
Thing Two: As many as you can carry in your hands walking away from the Sabrett guy on the New York corner without losing the mass of "hot dog onions" perched on top of the dogs that you've had to tell the guy twice to put more on. There is nothing in this world like those onions, cooked down and pasty, slightly sweet with little bittersweet-tomato-hint-of-cinnamon taste.
Thing One and Thing Two. That's all I need.
foodvox at 10:42AM on 05/28/08
@marianne215 Zweigles are pretty good too and are popular in the same area. www.zweigles.com
and how do I eat my dogs? with KETCHUP! and nothing else.
bobbob at 11:33AM on 05/28/08
@marianne215........thanks! Hoffman's might be the one. Did they have one or more hot dog restaurants? If not, I'll have to remember to ask my sibs. One brother is 20 years younger and he grew up in Fayetteville (suburb of Syracuse), so he'd remember for sure. I don't remember supermarket packaging - only brown box cases. Those were the tastiest hot dogs I've ever had.
PerkyMac at 11:35AM on 05/28/08
My new favorite:
Char grilled, placed in a bun with ketchup, mustard, relish and sport peppers! Yum!

Dill Pickle Salsa (from Redneck Epicurian)
1/2 cup dill pickles (regular or spicy), diced
1 large tomato
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (I use more)
1/3 cup onions, chopped fine
1 tablespoon pickle juice
1 tablespoon oil
salt and pepper, to taste
Dice the tomato and discard part of the seeds.
Stir together all the rest of the ingredients.
and jalapeno yellow mustard. Yum!
dawnie2u at 10:49AM on 05/31/08
Chili Dog and onions (best at James Coney Island in Houston second is Varsity in Atlanta). Hard to find a decent store bought chili for hot dogs at home.
Pimento Cheese Dog (put in a Sandwich Press) I first had it at the Varsity in Atlanta. That's what I always get at the Varsity.
Sauerkraut and NY Onions at Gray's Papaya was really good.
Guacamole is actually pretty good on a hot dogs.
Cole Slaw or Cole Slaw/Chili are pretty good.
Just mustard and relish if pretty good on a hot dog grilled outside on the pit.
Chicago hot dogs are ok. They have too much stuff on them.
eatorama at 11:15AM on 05/31/08
I can't read or hear the word "hot dogs" without wanting one immediately.
I don't care what it has on it. I just want one. Or two.
foodvox at 12:00PM on 05/31/08
Mustard. Sometimes raw onion, sometimes fried onion. Sometimes with everything. If I go to Vera's (in Vancouver), I get it with lettuce, tomato, pickle, mustard, onion and hot peppers. Sometimes with fried onion there, too. Sometimes I'll put half a processed cheese slice on it.
I once broke up with a girl because she put Miracle Whip on her hot dogs. I regret nothing.
jimcowling at 5:46PM on 05/31/08
she put Miracle Whip on her hot dogs
Man, that is perverted!
It's quite possible that it may be against the law in some states.

grilled crispy on a buttered grilled roll and slathered with mustard slaw! SO and I used to drive 2 hrs to the place that sells those, he would turn up his nose at them but I could eat 2 of those then buy a large order of the slaw and eat it on the way home.
