Let's say I offered you five dollars to eat a Chicago-style hot dog...

If I eat 5 of them, will you give me $25?

It looks okay. Not quite to my taste (the tomatoes don’t really appeal to me, nor does the pickle), but it looks quite edible. If I were hungry and you offered me one for FREE, I’d eat it. So, why wouldn’t I eat it for five bucks?

It would need a lot of mustard, though.

It’s not going to do my high blood pressure any favors, but I’d happily eat one for $5. I wouldn’t choose it as my typical hot dog, but if I was at a party and they were serving dogs with all the chicago fixin’s I might put one together as a novelty.

It’s what I always get when I go to Shake Shack, and there it costs close to $5, so, yeah of course I would have one.

I was trying to figure out what the taupey-green toothpastey splorch of condiment was, when I realized THAT was the sport pepper. :eek:

Also, pickle relish is NOT supposed to be that color.

I wouldn’t do it, just because the pill I have to take if I eat pepper and onion costs more than $5.

If I HAD to eat it or die, sure, whatever. I like almost everything on there.

Yum!

If I eat two of them will you give me $10?

As a general rule, when someone gives me food, I eat it. Why wouldn’t I do so when I’m getting paid?

Given my druthers, though, that’s not the way I’d eat it. If nothing else, I’d much prefer to replace the yellow with a real mustard. And I’ve nothing against pickles or tomatoes (assuming that those are actually tomatoes, and not just tomato-shaped-objects like you get at the grocery store), but neither the dog nor the toppings benefit by the combination.

If you put too much stuff on a hotdog, all the hot dog can offer is texture, not flavor.

Bah! The only thing that goes on a hot dog is clam chowder! Of the right kind, of course !!!

… I am doing this wrong, or?

There’s way too much stuff on that hot dog. I don’t care for pickles, and really don’t like jalapenos. I’m not sure what that green stuff is supposed to be (relish should not be that particular shade of green), and as for tomatoes on my hot dogs, I only like them in ketchup form.

That said, I’ll take the $5, and suffer eating something that’s not quite as pleasant as what I would eat if I was paying for it myself.

Not me. $500 wouldn’t do it. Maybe $1000.

I must have had several dozen of that exact configuration in the last year. You wanna send me my cash?

By the way, according to Wikipedia:

Yes, definitely.

I realize I’m a youngish guy, but people would really turn down not only food, but getting paid to eat? That’s basically heaven.

I generally eat the pickle on the side, and I could take or leave the tomato.

I like the idea of being paid to eat. So even though hot dogs aren’t really my thing (and tomatoes just seem wrong with the dog) I picked the second option.

I wouldn’t pay a penny to eat that though. Unless I was really hungry and didn’t have any other options.

On the plus side, after reading this thread, I now know what sport peppers are. I had no idea.

While I have no issue with “lips and assholes” hot dogs, a good quality wiener is made from whole muscle meat. Vienna beef dogs, for example, are made from whole brisket cuts.

As long as i can substitue a veggie dog, yes, i’ll happily take your $5 (though i voted that i’d pay you). In restaurants with a veggie dog option i always order Chicago Style.

Is there any other delicious food you’d like to pay me to eat? Perhaps cookies, or pies, or pasta, or burritos?
Edited to say: i didn’t look at the photo until after posting. The toppings are little light… can i order more onioins, relish, & peppers please?

Yeah, that looks like a distinct improvement.

Looks good to me. Where’s my $5?

I eat Chicago style dogs a few times a year, love 'em.

But I don’t understand the people that voted to pay you $5. Here you get something you enjoy and $5, why would you not take the $5?
