Plain. Hot dog and bun, that’s all.
I would like a nice steamed poppy seed bun, but it’s not required.
Usually when we go to Weinerschnitzel, my wife gets a chili cheese dog, slides the hot dog out and throws it away, and eats what’s left. I call it a “chili bun”.
On the subject of cooking: not a fan of boiling. I like my dogs to have a little crispness to the skin. Cooking over fire is best, but failing that, I like to heat 'em up in an ungreased skillet.
Naked. But okay with onions or cheese. But usually naked. Never mustard or ketchup.
Hot dogs are kind of a big deal where I live (Fairmont, WV), the whole state takes them pretty seriously and scoffs and anyone else who thinks they have a handle at the situation.
A hot dog in Fairmont is the dog (no standard on all type like beef, pork, etc.), on a steamed bun with hot dog sauce, not really a chilli sauce but a heavily grounded beef sauce with a sweet/ketchup-y or tomato-ey often times spicy (or a spicy version) based sauce, with mustard and onions. The rest of the state puts cole slaw on the top of the hot dogs. We offer the option but it’s not standard. The sauce can varie and that’s the fun of picking your favorite kind.
My mother and my wife’s chilli is my favorite. My mom’s is very savory and sweet and my wife’s is sweet and spicy, both very meat sauces. I prefer the sauces not as grounded as hot dog joints do. they only do it to make the sauce go further. It’s what boiling the meat does. We fry the meat and add the ketchup and spices, they boil it and do it. They also steam the buns and boil the weiners, I like to grill mine and don’t care if my buns are steamed.
Like I said, hot dogs are big here, everyone has their opinions, I’m open minded but I love what I love.
Oh yes, never ketchup on the dog itself, ever. In the sauce yes, not as a condiment.
I was tempted to just reply “Carolina style,” and see how many people understood. 
Wienerschnitzel Chili Cheese Dogs are the best!
Well, not the best. But they’re like Jack In The Box tacos. You just gotta have 'em! I wish I could get them up here.
I was at a friend’s mom’s house when he came home for Christmas one year. We decided to go get some chili cheese dogs from Wienerschnitzel (which were not in the state he was living in). His mom said, ‘Oh! Don’t do that! There’s meat loaf in the refrigerator I can warm up!’ He said, ‘Mom. Wienerschnitzel. Chili Cheese Dogs. It’s a guy thing.’
Back in the days when I was young, I’d take a (kosher) hot dog, place it in a bun, and proceed to cover it in mashed potatoes, peas, and ketchup. I haven’t eaten them that way in years, but I bet I’d still like it.
Now I just add ketchup, and grilled onions if available.
I suppose I didn’t make it clear. Those are three separate styles that I enjoy:
Chicago dog
or ketchup and mustard
**or **peanut butter and ketchup
I like…ketchup on mine… >_>
Mayo is my goto for those highly processed meats. It just seems to go really well with it. Chilli is okay, but I think of that as something else.
It also just dawns on me that I’ve never thrown in a tomato before. I guess it’s because I don’t usually have the diced kind, and the others won’t fit. (Yes, I know I can dice them myself, but a hotdog is a convenience food, and chopping things up is not convenient.)
Good quality hot dog, I’ll take it plain. My preference is for a New England style bun but those are elusive.
A less premium dog will get a line of brown mustard. Not a squiggle. Just one line, thanks.
There is a place in my home town that serves chili dogs that I love. I wouldn’t say that Little Spot chili dogs are better than any others, but I like them better than others I’ve tried. I’ve more or less stopped trying them other places.
If I’m at a Nathan’s I’ll get two hot dogs and put mustard and sauerkraut on one and mustard and relish on the other.
I should not open food threads when I’m hungry…
Not just “Carolina style” but Southern Virginia and, no doubt, much of the South. It’s a “slaw dog.”
A locally-owned (central SC) hot dog chain touts their famous “slaw dog.” Despite that, a newspaper article some years ago indicated that hardly anyone orders slaw dogs. I don’t care for slaw on a dog, personally, but most purchased slaw is Mafia slaw, which is mediocre at best, and often pretty bad.
For my own dog: mustard, mayo, chili, onions.
A medium amount of sweet relish.
Just enough yellow mustard to balance the sweetness of the relish.
Generous helping of chopped onions.
Aus doesn’t really have a hot dog culture. Generally the hot dogs are sold at sporting venues or shopping centres and consist of a boiled frankfurter in a bread roll topped with mustard and/or Tomato Sauce. (ketchup).
We tend to have the standard (link) sausage sizzle as your default fundraiser. Burnt sausage with cooked onion on a square slice of white bread with tomato sauce. Bunnings Breakfast on a Saturday.
Now if you want to talk about (link) sausages, nothing beats a grilled spicy debriciner or weisswurst on a long crusty roll with sauerkraut and hot English mustard
Grilled Elgin sausage with grilled onions and peppers, wrapped in a fresh flour tortilla with brown mustard.
This is not my guilty pleasure, but my shameful pleasure: Hebrew National, grilled, with ketchup, spicy brown mustard, chopped onions, and that spray on cheese that comes in a can.
Mayo.
This is surprisingly good Chicago-Style I like all style dogs though.
