Chicago Style Hot Dog

Ingredients

  • 1. The Dog- All Beef- contains no fillers.
  • Don't even think about using a dog made from turkey, chicken or pork.
  • Best Brands: Vienna Beef or Red Hot Chicago Brand Dogs.
  • I use Nathan's
  • 2. Relish- Classic Chicago Dogs are famous for their sweet, bright neon green relish.
  • Any sweet relish will work.
  • Best Brands: Vienna Relish,
  • Rolf's "Deli Style" Sweet Pickle Relish and
  • Super Sweet Green Pickle Relish from Puckered Pickle Co.
  • I use Vienna Relish.
  • 3. Mustard- Any Brand Yellow Mustard
  • Don't ever use Brown or Dijon.
  • Best Brands: French's or Plochman's
  • I use French's.
  • 4. The Pickle- The classic Chicago Dog will either have a pickle spear or pickle slice.
  • The pickle should have a nice crunch and a mild flavor. Refrigerated pickles are the best.
  • Don't use mushy pickles or pickles that are sour and/or spicy
  • Best Brands: Claussen Kosher Dill or Kosher Dill Puckered Pickle Co
  • 5. Onion- any white onion chopped, will be fine.
  • I use Vidalia sweet onions.
  • 6. Tomato- A vine ripe red tomato from your garden is ideal or buy a nice quality red tomato.
  • Cut the tomato into thin wedges.
  • Don't Chop or Slice your tomato
  • 7. Sport Peppers- An essential topping for a Chicago Dog is the Sport Pepper.
  • Sport Peppers should always remain whole.
  • Don't slice or chop the sport peppers. Don't use peppers that are too hot.
  • Best Brands: Vienna Brand Sport Peppers
  • I use Vienna Brand Sport Peppers.
  • 8. Celery Salt- Celery salt, also known as the "secret ingredient"
  • Celery Salt is often described as the defining ingredient of an "Authentic" Chicago Hot Dog.
  • Best Brands: celery salt can be found at any grocery store.
  • 9. Poppy Seed Bun- An authentic Chicago dog has to be on a poppy seed bun
  • Chicago Style Hot Dogs are traditionally served on a steamed poppy seed bun.
  • Poppy seed buns are often hard to find outside the Chicago area but can be purchased online.
  • Best Brands: S Rosen's Mary Ann Hot Dog Buns.
  • I order S Rosen's Mary Ann poppy seed hot dog buns online.
