Chicago-Style Hot Dogs ~ Happy Independence Day!




Give me one dragged through the garden, please!  If you’re not sure what that’s all about, I’ll tell you.  It’s the way to order a Chicago-style hot dog!  Don’t they look like great hot dogs?

If you love hot dogs, no other style of hot dog will do!  Classic Chicago-style hot dogs are legendary with their Vienna beef dogs, mustard, tomato wedges, chopped onions, juicy whole sport peppers, a dill pickle spear and celery salt sprinkled on a steamed sesame seed bun.  And don’t be putting your regular pickle relish on it ~ it has to be the neon green pickle relish ~ Nuclear Relish!

A hotdog is a humble thing made into something delicious and anyone can make a Chicago-style hot dog ~ all it needs is a little preparation.  Be sure to use the Vienna beef dogs so that you will hear the “snap” as you bite into them.  Whoever discovered this great blend of condiments for a hot dog was a genius!
