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 poppy seed hot dog bun until soft; not soggy.
Place a cooked Beef hot dog in the bun. (steamed best -- grilled ok)
Coat hot dog with yellow mustard in a zig-zag fashion to your liking.
Add neon-green pickle relish to your liking
Add raw chopped white onion to the dog
Put two tomato wedges in between the dog and bun
Tuck 2-3 sport peppers next to tomatoes
Add a kosher dill pickle spear in between the dog and bun
Add a dash of celery salt
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 prohibited.
Relish should be of a neon-green hue.
Some purists argue that only tomato "wedges" rather than the slices (photographed above) should be used.
Two cucumber slices can be used instead of a pickle.
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.)
