Sure I put ketchup on grocery store hot dogs. (And mustard and relish). Not much ass, though. On the good Kosher ones, mustard and maybe sauerkraut, if I can get it. And no ass whatsoever. ---

No way. I hate ketchup. What’s so hard to understand? Must it be slathered on every burger I’ve ever ordered? On hot dogs - mustard and either dill relish or sauerkraut. –tygre ---

Ketchup (catsup) on a hot dog is an abomination in the eyes of God and a defilement of all that is sacred. ---

Mustard and relish. Or mustard, chili and cheese. But never ketchup. I mean, isn’t the world screwed up enough as it is? ---

You ketchup on hotdog people had better steer clear of Chicago! A city that takes its dogs seriously! At one semi-famous hotdog joint in Chicago I saw a patron ask the proprietor for ketchup on their hotdog. I thought the owner was going to kick the guy out of the store (I’m not kidding). After a long, hard look at the customer the owner pointed to a ketchup bottle on the counter and told the customer if he wanted ketchup on his hotdog he needed to do it himself. The owner would have no part of it. Bad customer service you say? Maybe but this was no McDonalds and I’m sure the owner didn’t give a crap if the guy ever came back. It was a goldmine neighborhood hotdog/greasy spoon place. Your arteries would harden just looking at it but it was very good and very cheap. ---

Well, I don’t especially like hot dogs. I just wanted to go with Cal and say that I used to put ketchup on _everything_, including my mac ‘n’ cheese. Of course, I was about 12 and I learned it from my oldest brother. 🙂 ---

I always thought you were supposed to put ketchup on hotdogs. I thought it was a law or something. ---

I like hotdogs, but have been vegetarian for most of a year now, but happily have discovered tofu dogs that have the taste and texture of the real thing. Ketchup? Enh. If it’s already there (prepared by someone else), I’ll eat it, but I’d never put it on my own. I had a coupla dogs last night, and put mustard and sauerkraut on them, and also a little sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Yum, yum! ---

Okay, what’s the big freaking deal here? Some people put catsup on [french toast](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=3399), for cripes sake. Do a search for “food” and you’ll see that there are all manner of disgusting things that people will pay for _and then eat_. No catsup on hotdogs? You say this as though it were a major philisophical position, as opposed to what it really is- a description of a minor neurosis. * * * Wieners on buns- no condiments! -John & Mary ---

I heard a story about a Baskin-Robbins executive whose staff made him a gallon of KETCHUP ICE CREAM because he ate so much ketchup. It was so disgusting that nobody ate it. If only they’d made some hot dog ice cream to go with it. ---

I put fries on my sandwiches as well, usually a grilled cheese or a burger, and chips on my hot pastrami sandwiches, sometimes I’ll eat PB&J with chips. Sun Chips of course… ---

You bunch of immoral, side show freaks? Ketchup?? On a hot dog??? How do you sleep at night? I’d pray for your souls but I’m not sure people who use ketchup on hot dogs have souls. Anyway the only thing red in a semi-coagulated form that ever goes on my hot dog is chili. All Hail the Chili Dog!! Otherwise, give me the Chicago Dog with the works.
