I usually only use mustard but every so often, chips and ketchup on a hot dog is fantastic!

Ketchup, mustard, onions, and relish. And if I can get access to it (or if I'm at Five Guy's), American cheese and bacon.
That site can suck my gigantic Italian sausage. That's not hot dog etiquette, that's someone whose a narcissistic asshat.
The "Seattle Dog" includes cream cheese and sauteed onions and is pretty good. Normally I just do Heinz Ketchup - no othr ketchup is allowed in our house. I do like adding onions and 'kraut to a brat though, and prefer some fancy-schmancy mustard (brown, stone-ground, horseradish, etc) to French's yellow.
My wife and daughter put ketchup on everything, including steak. They also insist it be cook WELL. Last time I made steak (sirloins) I bought some thick ones and butterflied the one for the wife an girls to get theirs super well done an keep mine a nice medium. I gave the girls bites of my medium steak, an their eyes lit up and now they want me to cook steak like that all the time.

Ketchup and mustard, ketchup and mayo, ketchup and onions, or chili and cheese are the only combinations I go with. To each their own.
Medium is the perfect way for steak. People are usually scared to eat it that way because they mistake the juices of the meat for blood. getting a nice crusting to the steak on the outside is a must as well.
I personally think that ketchup is just too overpowering of a condiment to be included on a hot dog. While growing up, I used to be obsessed with it on my hot dogs, but once I gave it up and moved to mustard, relish, onions, etc. I began to enjoy them soooo much more.
Don't get me wrong. I love onions, mustard and (dill) relish too, but don't see how their tastes are not as overpowering as ketchup. To me, each and every one of those is MORE overpowering than ketchup. And sweet relish is quite overpowering if you choose that. Or maybe I should ask how much ketchup would you use to make it overpower, say, an onion?
arghh:No offense, but if that's the hot dog/frank you're eating, then you're doing it wrong.
Go get a Hebrew National 1/4 pounder. You'll thank me later.
