How do you like your hot dog?

[BDL]

Hello:

Since there will be a lot of grilling this weekend, I thought I would ask the question "How do you like your hot dog?" There are a million different ways to enjoy a hot dog. But for the purposes of this discussion, I am only going to allow the votes to pertain to the BIG 3 condiments; Ketchup, mustard & relish. Aspects like how you prefer your dog cooked (grilled, fried, boiled, steamed) or add-ins, like cheese, chili or onions, you can post in your response. Though I must admit, having seen a couple of bacon wrapped chili cheese dogs on Diners, Drive-ins & Dives, makes me want to try them.

As for how I take my dog: ketchup and brown mustard

How I prefer it cooked: grilled with a grill warmed hot dog roll with just a little butter.

I look forward to seeing the replies. And I know I've already turned off a few of you with me liking ketchup. So I added an additional vote if you feel that way.

Have a happy and safe 4th of July weekend.

Hotdogs: grilled with a grill warmed bun. Yellow mustard, green relish, onions, and dill pickle slices.
But my favorite are German brats, grilled on a roll with brown mustard and sauerkraut. And a beer. A BIG beer.

A little bit of chopped raw onion. That's it. No ketchup, no mustard (yuck), and no relish (ick).

 

[HeatherC]

Sauerkraut and mustard.

 

[Iowamomof4]

Ketchup, yellow mustard, onions, sweet relish.

 

[King Schultz]

With lots of beer.

Mustard, either brown or yellow, sometimes I do half and half.

I like sauerkraut too but don't always have it.

And on a New England style bun.

I voted ketchup, but I would rather have it with some Hormel chili and some cheese.

Mustard is my favorite, though I like other things too. I am not always opposed to ketchup on a hot dog though it is my least favorite of the main condiments. I will never mix ketchup with mustard though. I generally only put one thing on each dog (unless it's like a Chicago Dog or something like that).

A little bit of ketchup! Grilled or boiled - not picky.

sometimes I like Guldens mustard never yellow! Like the hotdog grilled crispy. Going out to buy some Sabretts later they are on sale.

I voted ketchup, but I would rather have it with some Hormel chili and some cheese.

Chili cheese dogs are my favorite! I take my regular dog boiled, with ketchup, mustard and relish.

The only choice your poll needed was "Ketchup should NEVER be put on a hot dog!"

For starters, the hot dogs must be all beef. I avoid hot dogs at BBQs or other places unless I'm SURE I'm not eating that crap with mechanically separated chicken or turkey. I don't serve hot dogs at cookouts either; I won't have anyone asking me for ketchup for them.

Any condiments except ketchup are fine.

Places that serve hot dogs should have a sign like they do at Thrasher's French Fries in Ocean City, MD. Don't even ask.

Burner beyond recognition with mustard, mustard/sauerkraut, or ketchup and raw onion.

 

[MainMom]

Burnt. Chared. Blackened.

 

[disykat]

LOL. Ketchup is winning! Go, ketchup!

 

[shoney]

Well depends on my mood

Sometimes just ketchup
Other times mustard and relish or mustard and sauerkraut

I do prefer a natural casing beef hot dog grilled until it splits.

I adore hot dogs, so of course the answer isn't simple. As far as cooking style, my favorite is on the BBQ; 2nd is pan fried, and 3rd is steamed/boiled. Rolls should ALWAYS be New England style- the stand-up kind, white on the sides, slit in the top- if I have any say at all. I prefer them buttered and grilled, but will also eat them plain or toasted (toaster or BBQ). I don't care if the dogs are natural casing or not, all beef or not, red or not.

My FAVORITE hot dog is a Flo-Dog, purchased at Flo's in Cape Neddick, Maine. It is a steamed dog (natural casing) in a steamed roll. This has been described as "steamed to perfection, where the napkin becomes part of the roll." They top this with a smear of mayo and a healthy dollop of Flo Sauce, which is a relish-type condiment made of onions, a little dried pepper flakes, sugar, molasses, spices (secret recipe, this is my best guess). Then they shake celery salt across the top. These babies are AMAZING and I can eat an embarrassing number of them at one sitting!

Hot dogs at home... New England style roll, buttered and grilled to crunchiness. On top of the dog I want mustard and chopped onion. Second favorite is same roll, with ketchup, mayo, celery salt.

Dogs purchased elsewhere- I like a good dog with sauerkraut and mustard. Also a nice chili-cheese dog is never turned down!

I voted mustard, but I love onions as well.
