Ingredients

  • Steamed poppy seed hot dog bun
  • All-beef hot dog, steamed or charred
  • Yellow mustard
  • Chopped white onion (raw)
  • Green pickle relish
  • Sport peppers
  • Tomato wedges
  • Crisp kosher dill pickle spear
  • Celery salt

Steps

  1. Steam a poppy seed hot dog bun until soft, but not soggy.
  2. Place a cooked beef hot dog in the bun.
  3. Coat hot dog with yellow mustard in a zig-zag fashion to your liking.
  4. Add neon-green pickle relish to your liking.
  5. Add raw chopped white onion to the dog.
  6. Put two tomato wedges in between the dog and bun.
  7. Tuck 2-3 sport peppers next to tomatoes.
  8. Add a kosher dill pickle spear in between the dog and bun.
  9. Add a dash of celery salt.
  10. Finished.

Tips

  • Two cucumber slices can be used instead of the pickles.
  • Use only yellow mustard (sometimes known as “Ball Park” style mustard).
  • Use only All-beef hot dogs. There is no substitute for those seeking a genuine Chicago hot dog.
  • Some purists argue that only tomato "wedges," rather than the slices, (photographed above) should be used.
  • Relish should be a neon-green hue.

Warnings

  • These can be very messy, especially for men with facial hair.
  • A real Chicago hot dog never has ketchup.[1]
