BBQ sauce. Fuck ketchup.
Any fries worth their salt (so to speak) donât require a condiment. A condiment on decent fries is an affront and detracts from the salty fried goodness.
I hope you know that when I use words like âacceptableâ in a culinary discussion, itâs taking my personal aesthetic and pretending it represents some broader truth. It doesnât. Itâs just what I like and donât. My dislike of ketchup, mustard, or mayo on a sandwich, burger, or hot dog isnât about sweetness.
Yep, I wasnât talking about you specifically. Just replied to your post instead of the reply to thread by accident.
How are you applying your condiments that they are at risk of squirting out the side? You guys are making this way too difficult. Apply a tablespoon or two to the top bun. Close bun. Nothing is squirting anywhere.
If anything, relish seems to be far more prone to making a mess than ketchup.
Maybe the problem isnât that ketchup is for five year olds, itâs that some of you folks apply condiments as a five year old would?
Except gravy and jalapeños with some cheese curd. Poutine, my friend!
@BCtriguy1 Im with you. I have nothing against ketchup at all. On a hot dog? Ketchup, chilli, onions, whatever.
I just threw up in my mouth a little. I buy one or two packs of hotdogs a month - to give to the dogs as treats. Brats are a different animal, or at least different parts of an animal, as I do enjoy good brats.
That being said, when I went to New Orleans a few years back we had lunch at a place called âDat Dogsâ. I canât remember how mine was dressed, but we all liked them.
Example of âhauteâ dogâŠ
For $25, you can enjoy a hot dog in a lobster-roll bun topped with pickled shallots, mayo, and Kaluga hybrid caviar.

The chili comments are really throwing me. I wouldnât put chili on a hot dog any more than id sprinkle hot dogs on top of my bowl of chili. Both sound completely absurd to me.
Iâm honestly shocked at the ketchup hate here. Iâm 41 years old. I donât think Iâve ever heard someone comment on ketchup being an unacceptable condiment on burgers, hotdogs, or fries, or being a condiment one ages out of using.
Maybe itâs like the backwards hat thing, and people judge me as being a dork for doing it but are too polite to say it to my face

Chili dogs and Sloppy Joes are two foods that you will never see in my mouth. I have eaten them before and I wonât eat them again.
Right up there with cotton candy for me.
Well, I donât get the runs after eating cotton candy, so there is one minor difference.
Ketchup on a hot dog in Chicagoland will get you arrested

SF is behind the times. Loaded hot dogs have been a thing for a long time.
I used to frequently dine on Sonora Dogs in Tucson. Bacon wrapped, with beans and mayo. Yum.
Chicago, being Chicago, had many places with fancy dogs. Chicago style is always a solid choice but Devil Dawgs had a bacon wrapped, deep fried dog with coleslaw. That was next level.
$25 and caviar to dress up a hotdog??
You can put lipstick on a pig. Itâs still a pig.
50 posts in, and no mention of sauerkraut?
I donât often eat hot dogs, but when I do itâs with mustard and sauerkraut.

Objection! Dukeâs mayo on a BLT with warm from the garden tomato and pepper is fantastic.
Second. Mrs. too.
When I was in Art School, there was a hot dog cart weâd visit at the corner of 17th & Chestnut
I did not have âusualâ order but most days would be ketchup, mustard, relish, and onions, with a Coke
Gus would wrap the hot dog in something barely classifiable as âwax paperâ and put it in a small paper bag with a can of Coke & a straw
Depending on the weather situation, to eat outside, Iâd go to either the âpocket parkâ across the street or to the United Engineers building a little further down, and sit on the planters; but not without first taking a City Paper from the free weekly paper box to use as a âtableclothâ because ketchup, mustard, relish, and onions is a fucking mess
