depending where I am, and the mood,

> Slaw dog, just a dog, bun, and coleslaw (only 2 places in town do them right)

> mustard and onions,

> Chili and mustard (and sometimes onions)

local to me gas station/country store does a good chili dog, I have them about once a week


sides,

whatever flavor chip I am in the mood for (and the country store has in stock) at a Legends brown ale

Chopped raw onions. Plenty of them.

On a regular old hot dog, give me yellow mustard and a slice of sharp cheddar.

But if we're getting into other fancier sausages and brats, then spicy mustard and sauerkraut is the way to go.


Also, some may think it's odd, but I prefer wrapping the hot dog in a flour tortilla instead of a hot dog bun. With traditional cheap white hot dog buns, you're getting like 75% bread to 25% dog, and each bite just end ups as a gluey mass of meat-flavored dough that sticks to the roof of your mouth. (But then I'm not a fan of most cheap white bread anyway...) Tortillas are higher quality bread, and make for a better bread-to-meat ratio to boot.

Chicago Dog + ketchup

Ideally, my own special chili for hot dogs, chopped raw onions.

But most of time, mustard, dill relish, onions, celery salt.

Always a side of tator tots.

Usually, coleslaw and ketchup....like the occasional chili dog with cheese though. Yum!

Like VictomNoMore and ragman, give me a good WVa dog.
But usually it’s a Smith Natural Casing Weiner, onions, and either Stadium or Bertmans Mustard.
I do like melted American cheese on a warm bun, with chili and onions

Awesome thread! Just last night I slow cooked hot dogs over a giant bed of wood coals. When they had reached the correct color of brown, and absorbed the correct amount of wood smoke, we lovingly placed them into potato rolls. Then, we added catsup and mustard, and finely minced fresh onions. Homemade baked beans and mac and cheese on the side. Loaded more wood into the fire ring(steel truck rims), with fire roaring, sun setting, I leaned back in the bag chair, and thought "the world is a pretty good place".

In no particular order.

Chili, chedder cheese, Japaleenos.

Ketchup, mustard, sweet relish.

Sauerkraut.

I do this often with sausage. Especially the good German inspired sausage that is a staple of the Texas Hill Country bbq genre. Nothing better when grilling out or around a campfire.

When I was a teenager we called them suicide dogs. Chili, cheese, slaw, onions, ketchup, yellow mustard, and mayo. Two Tums on the side please now.

Chicago style, minus the onion.

Chili Dog sounds perfect today! Just chili and cheese please!

Here at home, regular is yellow mustard, sweet relish and sweet onion. Special is German mustard, sweet onion and sauerkraut.

But oh man, do I miss Rodger's Coney Island Hot Dogs from North Main Street, Fall River Massachusetts. Used to get a 4 pack when I was driving north out of town, with a cold Coke, and I swear they were gone before I got up to cruising speed on Rte. 24 North.

Cowboy candy.

Few years ago I ordered a cheese dog at a Five Guys. Guy asked me what I wanted on it and I said "cheese". My co workers thought it was hilarious. Guy taking the order didn't think it was as funny. Thing is, I was being completely serious.

Bottom line, I like my hot dogs plain with just ketchup. Every now and then a cheese dog hits the spot though, especially if its from the Salty Dog in Sarasota! Harry doesn't approve, but that is just the way I like them.

At the Flying Saucer beer emporium I order the Sheboygan Side by Side, which is just a couple of brats on a bun with sauerkraut and mustard, except I get just the brats and bun plain with some cheese queso on the side to put on it. Delicious.

Probably one of the only benefits of living here in Michigan, home of these excellent wieners.

A Detroit Coney dog or several is my favorite

I also use a tortilla, when not having a coney dog, and will place two that have been crisped up in the pan with a schmear of Boursin cheese and some dijon mustard, with some finely chopped onion . . .

Yum.

None of the grocery stores around here offer Martin’s Potato Bread buns. But the nearby Shake Shack will sell Martin’s hotdog or burger buns to me. The best buns!

What does German mustard taste like? I don't think I've ever tried it.

Mustard, chili, cheese, light on the onions, and cole slaw.
