Ketchup + Hot Dog = FAILURE?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I only eat ketchup on hot dogs :ashamed: *is bricked* . But seriously....ever since I was little that's all I ate on them. As I grew older, I kind of aquired a taste for mustard, but I only put that on if I'm eating something like a braughtwurst. Normal hot dogs I just put ketchup on...that simple...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Ketchup on hot dogs, ketchup on eggs, just don't bake it onto my meatloaf. Disgusting.

I don't find kethup on hot dogs all that interesting.

However, I absolutely enjoy hot dogs with chili and cheese.

I was speaking idiomatically.

If the hot dog has been grilled, then I will always use ketchup and mustard on it. If it was just cooked on the stove, I'll eat it with chili and cheese.

Oh, and doodle, ketchup on scrambled eggs is the only way to go.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Chili cheese dogs are great, but you people are forgetting some things.

A footlong with some honest to god spicy fucking chili, some creamy cheese sauce, some keychup, a healthy amount of bacon bits, and either some french fries or potato chips for crunchyness.

It's seirously amazing.

Also Alice at the whole ketchup hate thing.

FELIPE NO

Personally, I hate ketchup, but i'll live with it on Hot Dogs and burgers, because without it, it's boring as hell. I'm a boring person... I only have hot dogs with ketchup, and like everyone else, if they have chili and cheese, put that on there.

I never acquired that taste for mustard. I only like Honey Mustard, but that's about it.

But they taste so good with ketchup.

I'll eat ketchup on just about anything. I really like tomatoes, marinara sauce, and even tomato juice on occasion; so ketchup is right there with 'em. I've had several Chicago-style hot dogs though, and they are great, so I trust the cooks' judgement on not messing with the formula. But do-it-yourself dogs are fair game for ketchup. Anyway, while we're talking Chicago beef, Maxwell Street Polish w/ cheese is even better.

Wow thats crazy......so do I! I love hotdogs w/ tomatoes and onions and ketchup and mayo and mustard lol, tastes good.

I don't really enjoy eating hot dogs, but I don't mind eating them either. When possible, I smother the hot dog in ketchup to hide a bit of the hot dog's original flavor, regardless of how sweet or sour the thing gets. Otherwise, I'll probably only eat half of the hot dog before I get sick of it. Actually, I probably should try something other than ketchup for a change.

Mustard. I can eat a hot dog with nothing but mustard on it. No mustard, no go.

Given the options I'll put onions or bannana peppers on it. Maybe relish, but only a little bit. Ketchup is a sin to hot dogs.

The only thing better on a hot dog than ketchup is hot sauce. And the hotter the hot sauce, the better!

FELIPE NO

Never thought I'd agree with LeHah on anything. I absolutely love spicy food. Especially buffalo sauce. Sweet mother of God, buffalo sauce is like the magic elixir of sauce.

As for hot dogs though, I only eat them with ketchup. I never understood the big fuss over mustard. I just never liked the taste of it, I guess. Honey mustard is the shit though.

How ya doing, buddy?

You still don't - my opinion is too educated for someone such as yourself.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Sweet Relish, Diced Chillies, Tomato Sauce, Cheese and Bacon. The perfect hot dog.

How ya doing, buddy?

Ketchup on hot dogs is disgusting to me and makes me throw up. It's like putting mustard on a cheese steak.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

As far as I know, putting ketchup on a hot dog is perfectly normal. The same goes for burgers. Ketchup is great. You can't go wrong with chili and cheese either.

My opinion on mustard is the same as that of a few others here. Regular mustard I could do without, but honey mustard is good stuff.

The employees and proprietors seemed to think putting ketchup on a hotdog was either very childish or completely tasteless, and they wouldn't even put any on the host's hot dog.

A true Chicago Style hot dog does not have ketchup on it. It does have a Vienna Beef hot dog, a poppy seed bun, mustard, chopped onion, relish, a pickle spear, tomato slices, cucumber slices, jalapeno peppers, and seasoning salt. Some hot dog places in Chicago will forbid you from putting ketchup on a Chicago Style hot dog, as it breaks tradition.

If you are ever in Chicago, you have to hit up The Wieners Circle.
"What the fuck you want?"
"A motha-fuckin hot dog and sum goddamn fries."
"You want a fuckin drink with that shit?"
"Fuck yeah."
"Here you go mutha-fucka. Now eat this shit and go fuck yourself."
"Fuck you too."
This really isn't an exaggeration. The place opens at midnight, and closes after all the drunks, hoes, gangbangers, and gutterpunks get served (usually right after sunrise).

I was speaking idiomatically.

The "no ketchup" thing is a bit of chicago snobbery. Even as far down as central and southern illinois, if a hot-dog joint is trying to be "chicago", they wont even stock ketchup in the store.

I think its retarded, put what you want on a hot dog, dont pass judgement on me because I like mine to be tasty.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

There is certainly a difference between a Chicago-style dog and "I wish I were an Oscar-Mayer weiner."

If you're the unlucky sap who finds himself nuking a beef frank and putting it on some Wonderbread bun, then sure, go for the ketchup. God knows it's going to need everything it can get.

But yeah, ketchup on a Chicago dog is totally unnecessary -- like dipping filet mignon in Cookie's barbecue sauce.

FELIPE NO

Ketchup, if anything, is the only condiment I put on a hot dog. I don't like mustard. I've never tried mayo. My love for that condiment may force me to try that some day...

How ya doing, buddy?

Let's conduct a taste test.

Here we have 3 hot dogs. As you can see, the left is mustard only, the right is ketchup only, and the middle is bases loaded - with mayonaise. At the moment I didn't have any relish on hand, so this will have to do.

Mustard only - a bit sharp for my tastes. Mustard only goes better with the bratwurst sausages, in my opinion. Perfectly safe for human consuption, me thinks.

Ketchup only - quite the opposite than the MO, the ketchup doesn't fight with any of the flavors, it adds to it, like a good condiment should.

Bases loaded - with the ketchup and mustard working hand in hand, this was probably the most satisfying of the three. Dispite putting quite a bit of mayo on it, it didn't seem to distract from the taste, so it was good.

You might be wondering why there's no ketchup and mustard only. Quite the simple fact that I don't feel like eating 4 hotdogs. Perhaps another time I'll enjoy a K&M hotdog.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The reason they gave the person a weird look for ketchup is because ketchup is the best way to ruin a hot dog. Ketchup is tomato paste with sugar in it... if you want a tomato flavor, put some dang tomatoes on the hot dog, not sweetened ketchup nonsense.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
