So many people have told me that it’s unacceptable to put ketchup on hotdogs, in particular Chicago-style ones. I’ve done it for years and highly enjoy the flavour. Absolutely S-tier topping AFAIC.

    I’ll go you one better: ketchup is the ONLY condiment I want on my hot dog! (Yes, I eat like a 4 year old)

    I like it on hotdogs, but on a Chicago dog… which is the best dog… you pretty much have ketchup already with the sweetness of the relish, the tomato and the celery salt.

    If you feel like fighting, tell them you will stop using ketchup as soon as that person can find you a hot dog good enough that it doesn’t need ketchup. Boom!

      I mean it’s so true though.

      I live out in a rural area and a nearby farm puts out hot dogs that are truly best plain.

      A Costco dog? NEEDS ketchup, or I cannot finish it.

    I do not like ketchup on hot dogs (I’m a pickle and mustard man myself), but I support your enjoyment of ketchup on hot dogs.

    If you have not tried it, I highly recommend kimchi on a hot dog. It’s like sauerkraut++. That with a bit of mustard and bread and butter pickles, mmm.

    I think anyone that tells you not to put ketchup on hot dogs is just trying to be different.

    Chili and mustard for me plz.

    I have no fucking clue where the no ketchup thing came from, but it’s always been dumb.

    Now, if you slap ketchup on a Chicago dog, it ceases to be the same thing, just like putting poster peanut butter on a Reuben Hayes makes it something other than Reuben, but it’s your fucking dog, you eat it however you want.

    Like, I do steak and cheese sandwiches for my kid’s birthday because that’s their favorite, but I do them with extras that aren’t typical up north, and use different cheese, so I don’t call them a Philly because they aren’t a Philly. No fucking whiz kinda breaks one of the two standard forms of a Philly anyway.

    It’s okay to have specific ingredients define a dish, and not change that standard and call or the same thing. But it’s also okay to eat whatever you want.

    Myself? Can’t stand that shitty relish that’s on Chicago dogs. I’d use a southern style relish if I was making a dog that was similar. Maybe chowchow, which is amazing on a hotdog.

    Our standard dog in my area is “all the way”, which is chili sauce, onion, slaw, and mustard. Ketchup is optional, as is relish, which is weird considering that you order them as a hot dog, all the way. You’d think that would mean everything, but that’s a hot dog with everything.

    Also, chili sauce isn’t what people outside of the region think it is.

    These are neither popular opinions, nor unpopular opinions.

    They’re not even opinions. Your personal taste preference is not an opinion.

    As a St. Louis boy, the only thing i can agree with Chicagoans on is that ketchup shouldn’t be anywhere near a hotdog. But i don’t like ketchup at all unless it is being used in meatloaf or os Whataburger spicy ketchup
