Hot dog toppings
« on: November 20, 2020, 01:31:12 PM »
Anything goes, depending on my mood.  Guac and salsa?   Love it.   My general go to is catsup, sweet relish, onion cheese.

Foot long chili with onions and cheese?  Woot

Don't like it?   Who cares?   Make it your own damn way.

Not done yet.   Light at the end of the tunnel may not be a locomotive.


Hot dog toppings related....
Local legendary chili dog restaurant licensed their sauce to a local microbrewery/pizza joint.   The result is a chili dog pizza.   Hot dogs, secret sauce, mustard, onions, cheddar.  Had to try it once just to say I did it.   Pretty good.

I am open to any hot dog toppings, or non toppings, whatever one likes.

I don't eat hot dogs all that often these days, but no hot dog experience was better than when I was 4 years old in kindergarten. My mom would pick me up from school at lunch and sometimes she would take me to the nearby Dairy Queen.

After ordering at DQ, they gave me a tray and I would walk down the assembly line watching them make my food. There were grill marks on the hot dog, golden crisp hot fries, and we'd go sit by the window and enjoy a nice lunch and chat. Then, when the meal was over, we would walk up and hand the employee a silver coin, that they gave me with my meal. And then they'd give me a hot fudge sundae. It was a pretty great hot dog experience. 👍

Every time I am in Chicago, I have to go to the Wiener's Circle (it may not be the best, but it's a habit I started when living in Chicago in the early 90's). Just get 3 of the traditional chicago dogs, hate their fries and chees BTW. Used to always hit Hot Dougs (well actually would have my assistant wait in line for them). Love me some chilidogs as well.

I'm pretty open to anything. But I have to admit there's something deliciously nostalgic about a hot dog in a bun with nothing but ketchup and mustard. How my mom made them growing up, never had any complaints.

Best hot dog is after a long day hiking when you're camping, roasted over a fire. The best chicago dog is the hot dog stand in front of the Shedd museum on a hot day. Third best is Devil Dawgs, but mostly because of their milkshakes. Forth best is Downtown Dogs, there's a reason there's a line of construction guys outside during normal times.

Anything goes on a hotdog. Even pigs-in-a-blanket like my dad made (a dog wrapped in Pillsbury biscuit dough) are awesome.

I agree with Chicago style dog zealots, though, that if you already have tomatoes + relish on a dog then ketchup is no longer needed. Both are accomplishing sweet + acidic.

Whomever said "plain" up above likes the crust cut off their sandwiches.

I haven't eaten a hot dog in maybe 20 years. [ducks...]

But when I have a brat (ai'na), it's grainy brown mustard and some sautéed onions and peppers.

I just had a chili dog last night!

High quality natural-casing hot dog from a company called Hofmann's (they sell 'em in 6-packs at our local Publix, but here's a link: https://hofmannsausage.com/just-german-franks-small.html) ... topped with my wife's home-made chili (we had a big bowl of it the night before, but I made sure I put some aside cuz I knew I was gonna have a chili dog the next day) ... chopped onions ... shaved cheddar ... on a quality hot dog bun.

Wow, it was good.

Otherwise, when no chili is available, I'm a basic guy -- spicy brown mustard, sweet relish, onion. Sometimes I'll dice a tomato and throw it on there, too. Never ketchup, though I have nothing against those who use ketchup; several of my family do.

When we lived in Chicago, my son worked at a Lincoln Park place called America's Dog, right across the street from the Children's Hospital. Started as just a peon when he was a teen but eventually became asst manager and then manager for a couple years. Their schtick was that they had dogs from all around the country (supposedly): Chicago, NY, Philly, Buffalo, Detroit, etc, etc, etc. I tried a few and they were all good -- as good as any in town -- because they used very high quality dogs and fresh buns. Great onion rings, too. When Children's decided to move downtown, the owner knew his main clientele would be gone, so he ended up getting out of the business.

We didn't live far from Hot Doug's and I liked their dogs but I thought they were a little overrated. I mean, they were hot dogs, certainly no better than where my son worked. Their schtick was that on Fridays they had duck-fat fries. People would start lining up when they opened on Fridays for those ... but I thought they were very greasy and somewhat limp. I like a nice crisp fry.

Wieners Circle's dogs are fine. And they certainly have their own schtick. I always thought Portillo's served a solid dog. At lunch time, the Vienna Beef place on Damen served dogs - quite good.

Love a good Detroit style Coney dog...without the onions.

Or pulled pork on top. Had that at a late night Austin food cart.

For a everyday dog, bbq sauce.

I know it’s hot dog toppings as the topic, here’s my unofficial Chicago hot dog place takes.

-If you grew up in Chicago or the burbs, the best hot dog place will always be the one you went to as a kid. For me, that was Tommy’s in Glendale Heights. Recipe is still the same today as it was 30 years ago. It’s not the best, but for me, I enjoy still because it’s a total comfort meal.

-To me, SuperDawg is the best hot dog in the Chicago area. Fries are so key to a good dog, SuperDawgs doesn’t disappoint.

-Portillo’s dog is solid and reliable, has more snap than most other places.

-Gene & Judes gets my “Overrated” chant.

-My wife (when we were dating) lived by the old Hot Doug’s location (before the fire burnt it down). Always thought the hype was too much, and while good, not worth the wait.

-Paradise Pup in Des Plaines is quality.

Places that wrap the fries in the hot dog, I don’t mind getting just ketchup on the dog then. The heat from the dog/fries melts the ketchup into the fries, it’s enjoyable in my opinion.

I think I've enjoyed just about any combo of hot dog toppings I've had. Love a full Chicago dog, don't mind a simple ketchup only, always up to try something different.

Plain yellow mustard is overrated, so I'd never go for one that only has that. Unless the alternative was no hot dog. (Or plain. Whoever said that is a monster.)

If you're in Chicago, and they're serving Vienna Beef, the worst you can get is a B- hot dog.

We lived in Glendale Heights until I was 10, then moved to Carol Stream. WeeDee’s (assuming the North Ave location, there’s now one in St. Charles) was pretty good if memory serves me. Scooby’s was always ok, and over priced. Although their raging war war with Cascade Drive In was always funny.

Gene and Judes is highly overrated, Superdawg is fantastic because of the fries. Woolfy’s is well above average, but Mickey’s in Bellwood, (and to a lesser extent, their Villa Park location) is the best hot dog I’ve had in the Chicagoland area.

My grandmother used to mail Hummel's hot dogs to my great uncle in California and to my great uncle in Myrtle Beach.  Both great uncle's said there were no good hot dogs in either location.  My uncle also in Myrtle Beach asked me to send also and of course I did

Most interesting regional hot dog I have ever had is the Seattle Hot Dog with Cream Cheese & Sauteed Onions + Sriracha. Weird as hell but it works and is good.

I had it with jalapeno instead of Sriracha. I was into it.

How about Sonoran Dogs? They are popular in AZ, Mexican style hot dog, wrapped in bacon in a bolillo roll with beans, jalapenos or salsa verde, avocados, etc. Can't go wrong with anything wrapped in bacon.

That's enough toppings that it's hard to imagine. I'll hunt one down next time I'm in the SW. Sounds, though, like a great take on a chili dog.

Nearly every Chicago hot dog place uses that.

I used to work for a vending company that sold sandwiches out of their machines that were made at our commissary.

One time we got a spate of phone calls from our vending sites saying that the tuna sandwiches in the machines were all moldy.  Turns out that this particular time, the tuna salad was made with this neon green relish, and people thought it was mold.
Have some patience, FFS.

My favorite Chicago dog places were Little Louie’s in Northbrook (my moms side of the family lives there) and then Murphy’s (RIP) at Belmont and Racine which is where I lived when I was in Chicago.

Now that I’m back in Detroit Lafayette Coney Island is the spot. And Leo’s...you can never go wrong with Leo’s

I can walk to Wolfy’s, and I generally get the jumbo char with relish ( not nuclear green) and onions. My neighbor swears by the chili dog. We do a group socially-distanced walk there every now and then, our last backyard distanced gathering involved Wolfy’s.
True story -I was at the Salt Lake Olympics -local paper ran a story saying that they were running out of hot dogs, people were buying them like crazy and they had to order more from the supplier in Wisconsin,  I said to my companion, gotta be Usinger’s -and it was!

For our neighborhood Octoberfest every year, those who run it order Usinger hot dogs, brats and Polish sausage.

Duluth has a couple of Coney Island places that are surprisingly good.
