Bright red ketchup, yellow mustard, green relish, and chopped onions. That’s it. Like a traffic light. And I don’t care what anyone has to say on the matter. It’s the combination of the three condiments that’s essential. If I’m out of one, I won’t bother having a hot dog. (I can forego the onions, but it’s just not the same.)
Currently half of my meals come off of a George Foreman grill. My roommates sauce of choice is Ketchup on everything. Mine is Garlic Barbecue sauce. Is there anything wrong with a Garlic BBQ sauce on a hotdog or burger? Am I going to meat lover’s hell, I havent had meat in 2 1/2 years so Im kinda new at this.
Also, Kraut, is there any way I can add it to me nightly sausage without opening a new can? Does it keep ok in tupperware?
Okay, mustard then shredded cheese, then the dog (no turkey, soy, chicken imitations please), then raw onions, chili (beans would truly be a travesty), chopped jalepenos and finally a bit of the dreaded ketchup. Perfection in a hot dog bun for this Texas transplant.
The Mona Lisa as velvet art, wow, the visuals are mind boggling
So now I’ve gotta come out of yet another closet, and proclaim to the world that I *sometimes *put ketchup on a hot dog. And sometimes mustard, and sometimes both.
And sometimes hot sauerkraut.
Or mango chutney.
Or melted extra-sharp cheddar.
Or even - gasp - peanut butter!
This whole “no ketchup” rule for hotdogs is recent newsfor me. I always have ketchup on my hot dogs. Only ketchup. Mustard is only for submarine sandwiches.
Of course, I don’t eat the cow lips and beef testicles variety of hot dog–I eat tofu hot dogs. So who cares?
No, Larry, I’m quite certain hank’s rule #9 says, “eat your wieners on buns, no condiments.” If you break Hank’s rules Hank will kick the shit out of you. Condiments are heretical, buns are okay. Hanks says so, and rule #6 says, “everything Hank says is right.”
I eat my wieners sometimes on plain bread with brown mustard and relish, and I haven’t had the shit kicked out of me yet. So I guess Hank doesn’t know everything. I won’t tell if you don’t.
