I like cheese and bacon (and onions, in theory, but it’s hard to eat that way). But a hot dog that can’t stand on its own can’t – or shouldn’t – be saved with toppings.
With yellow mustard most of the time.
With chilli and cheese occasionally.
Here. He also collects the plastic cups from the stands at sporting events.
Yellow mustard only for me.
Was this threadshit really necessary?
Ketchup, mustard, relish, onion, sauerkraut if it’s there.
Spicy brown mustard. Guldens.
Or chili, shredded cheddar, yellow mustard, and possibly a raw cucumber spear.
On a hotdog I want mustard first, and then some relish if it’s available.
On a chilidog I want chili, real chili, maybe some cheese.
Nothing. I’ve tried it with mustard but it just didn’t taste right.
runner pat – This is an utterly innocuous thread about hot dogs. Your dragging in ancient history on an unrelated topic because … why? you disagree with the poster’s opinion? I can’t even tell … is completely out of line. You know better than this.
I’m giving you a warning for being a jerk.

Toast the bun. Brown mustard. Relish. If possible, make it a footlong.
Mustard, ketchup and sauerkraut. I’m a New York boy at heart.
Well, I don’t know if I want my dogs to be able to stand up, but I don’t put anything on them either.
Hot mustard and pickle slices/relish, steamed bun. Yum.
At home – mustard and relish, or mustard only.
From a street meat wagon – mustard, relish, chopped onions, banana pepper rings.
No ketchup or sport peppers (peppers don’t play well with my stomach) but I’ll do about anything else. Chicago style is fine by me.
I work near a butcher shop that makes their own hot dogs and has a kid selling them outside during the summer. They are divine. I take one with just mustard and one with mustard and relish.
Love Chicago style. Otherwise, mustard, relish, minced onion. Occasionally kraut. I had an unusual dog the other day from our local sushi stand (yes, you read both things correctly). I don’t know what they fried the dogs in, or what exactly was on them, but they were outstanding.
Sorry OP but coming from a guy that likes hot dogs just about any way they serve them - with ketchup, sliced on spaghetti, boiled, grilled, microwaved, etc., a naked dog sounds gross to me. Almost as gross as whoever upthread eats Oscar Myer (or any other variant of the casingless, too-pink, limp meatsticks) .
I suppose my perfect dog would be a grilled foot long on a 6 in. potato bread bun topped with yellow mustard. However, sometimes you just want something crazy like cole slaw and bbq sauce or cukes and ranch on it. I guess I’m one of those “a hot dog is a canvas” types.
I like them all sorts of ways. But for a good natural casing hot dog, I take it with yellow mustard, chopped onions, relish, and a couple sport peppers (small hot peppers).
For cheap bland skinless wienies, I like those with Cincinnati chili and cheese.
Mustard, onions (raw, diced), relish (preferably sweet, but any will do).
