Suppose I told you that I’d pay you five bucks to eat a hot dog, Chicago-style.
This is what it would look like, exact.
You, to get the five bucks, must eat it all yourself and you’re not allowed to take ANYTHING off of it (that is currently on it…however you may add other things if you like).
Based on your opinion, which of the following choices in the poll would you say your answer would be closest to?
Not seeing a down side. Tomato, pickle, jalapeno (?), some onion and relish. For sure I would.
Delicious. Bring it.
Hell Yeah!
Sure, why not?
If it were a poll of HOW MANY hot dogs would you eat if paid $5 each, then I guess I’d only eat about three or four. At that point the health drawbacks would outweigh the money.
Nope. I don’t like anything in that picture other than the meat and the bun. Even if I did like that stuff, I would not put it on a hotdog.
I never understood the fascination of “Chicago-style” hotdog decorations. First, it’s the same vanilla stuff you put on a hamburger or any other sandwich. Second, of course you want to decorate it. You don’t want to taste the hotdog, do you?
Yes, because $5 is $5. But intentionally putting tomatoes things that don’t need them makes me wonder if existence of the Chicago winter is not an accident.
Not jalapeno, sport pepper.
The only thing there that should go anywhere near a hot dog is mustard. So, no.
I don’t understand how that’s different from just a “hot dog” - is it because there’s no ketchup? No relish? It looks like an ordinary hot dog to me, I will love it - I think I’ll add some chutney, though.
I don’t care for mustard, so no thanks.
Maybe for $500.00.
I’d eat it. I don’t like the tomatoes and wouldn’t enjoy it. But I’ve eaten worse things for free.
All of it looks rather yummy, although there might be a little too much mustard on it. And I’d probably add a little mayo. So I guess the closest is the #3 answer, even though I would need a gluten-free bun.
Now, if it only cost $5 with said bun, I’d pay for it.
There’s no ketchup on it, so sure. $5 is $5.
(Ketchup on a hot dog is an abomination.)
I’d eat one. Not my style of dog. I don’t think tomatoes belong on a hot dog except in the form of ketchup. But I wouldn’t be repulsed by it, either. I’d eat them as long as you kept those $5 bills coming.
What’s the green stuff - is it gherkin? That might be weird. How hot is the mustard?
The worst thing about hot dogs is that the meat is not usually that great, but if it was a decent sausage-y thing I’d happily eat it.
The green stuff is relish.
Not for me, but that’s purely a function of me assuming the hot dog is traditional and contains nitrates, which I cannot eat. Make it a vegetarian hot dog or a sausage without the nitrates, and sure, I’ll eat it. No idea if I’ll like it or not, but it looks fine.
Assuming it’s a veggie dog, sure, though I don’t like relish.
