Ketchup on hotdogs?

[CarlHungus]

I've always put ketchup on my hot dogs. I've seen a few shows on the travel channel that have featured hot dog places in Chicago, and I have seen multiple people say it's a sin to put ketchup on hot dogs. Is this just a Chicago thing, or is this common?

Gross.

I know it's a Chicago thing for sure. I also think it's a Philly thing.

ONLY ketchup for me.

It's a sin. You will burn in hell for defiling a dog with ketchup.

Ketchup, mustard, and onions. Always.

 

[MeanDean]

I've always put ketchup on hot dogs and always will. Anybody that tells you this or that condiment is wrong for this or that sandwich is a Nazi, or possibly just a self-important jerk.

Ketchup, mustard, and onions. Always.

And Tasty Pickles.

As a Chicagoan, I still say it's fine.

I put ketchup on hot dogs, and always will, but a chicago dog doesn't have ketchup on it and it would ruin it if it did.

 

[MeanDean]

I also put dill pickles or dill relish on them. No sweet relish for me. But I don't go around telling people they are wrong to do it.

**** ketchup. I put tomatoes on it instead. Mustard, grilled onions and tomatoes. Damnit, I need a hot dog now.

This. If you get a Chicago dog then no as it doesn't make sense. Just making some on the grill, then yes of course.

Like any other food that is dressed up with lots of ingriedents, some items just don't pair well.

Between the pizza and the hot dogs I get the feeling that Chicagoans just like terrible food.

 

[gocubs2118]

I think ketchup in general is disgusting, just not on hot dogs.

 

[isulive2train]

I put ketchup on them just to **** off people who believe they control the condiments.

 

[ianoconnor]

Only mustard for me on hot dogs (or brats).

 

[Cychedelia]

I put ketchup on them just to **** off people who believe they control the condiments.

That's why I put fish paste on them.

 

[cmjh10]

Ketchup, mustard, and cheese on hot dogs for me.

This is also another reason to avoid and ignore Chicago at all costs.

 

[Cyched]

Mustard and dill relish for me. Ketchup just tastes too sweet for me on hot dogs.
