Just ketchup for me. No, I don’t think I ‘jacklight’ deer, whatever that verb means. But I _do_ put ketchup on, well, almost anything. 😃 ---

It only took 11 posts for someone to go for the rimshot. I like them “Chicago style” with everything expect - no sports peppers and I like the onions grilled. My local has a “firedog” that already has a nice little zest to it and peppers give me heartburn. I don’t usually have all that stuff at home, so I put brown mustard and pickles, maybe a slice of swiss or chopped tomatoes if I have some handy. ---

If I have it , chili , cheese and chopped onions. If not, chopped onions and a touch of relish. That’s it. Nothin’ else. MMMMMM. ---

I like brown mustard, chili with beans, and shredded cheddar cheese. If I have to eat a hot dog without chili then I will put a little ketchup on it. The hot dog place we frequented when I was a kid only gave you half a weiner with your hot dog, sliced longways. You had to ask especially if you wanted a whole weiner - then they’d put in two halves. ---

Sometimes I like 'em bare nekkid. Mostly ketchup, mustard, and relish. Yum! Sometimes with Saurkraut. ---

Depends on the dog. If it’s a good quality one like a Nathan’s, or a Polish sausage, just a _tiny_ bit of mustard; brown or dijon is best, but yellow will do in a pinch. If it’s a cheap-ass 12-for-a-buck like I buy for my no-taste-buds kids, ketchup, mustard and relish. ---

A lovely young gal and some Vicks VapoRub. What, you beat me to it? Confound you all! 😉 I only eat hot dogs maybe twice a year, but when I do, I like 'em kosher (I’m not Jewish, but I do enjoy their meats), burnt to a crisp, and with yellow or brown mustard on it, depending on mood. Come to think of it, I’d quite fancy a nice hot dog now. I love the smell of carcinogens in the morning! ---

And it was more of a joke than a factual response. But I’m in Virginia, and while it’s not common, there are a few Mom & Pop food stands/diners places between here and the Outer Banks of NC where you can get the boiled peanuts option. ---

I like a little variety. But no mixing up these concoctions: 1. Yellow mustard, catsup, sweet pickle relish 2. Chili, cheese, Sweet Vidalia or 1015 onion 3. Sauerkraut and any mustard 4. Chicago dog ---

Mashed potatos, baked beans, mustard, cheddar, onions, 'kraut, potato chips, chili, gravy, and sometimes ketchup, but not always. Hard as hell to eat, but delicious! I especially like the baked beans and mustard combination, which would be awesome for lunch. ---

Mustard and onions for me. And I will give you a pass for putting ketchup on your hot dog…if you are under 12 years old. Otherwise ketchup + hot dog = dead to me. ---

Fits just right, as I’m 30 going on 10. 😃 Don’t worry, everyone, my SO thinks ketchup is the work of the devil. He despises it. So you’re in good company. ---

Onions (in any form, or multiple forms) Mustard (The spicier the better! :D) A slice of American Cheese or some Cheeze Whiz type abomination. No catsup. No relish (unless dill relish is available, sweet is not a flavor I want in that amount with my dogs) ---
