Okay … you’ve never had a wiener until you’ve had a genuine Rhode Island “New York System” wiener. Mustard, chili, onions and celery salt. Prepared about twenty at a time lined up along the arm of some guy named Guido.

Isn’t that illegal?

I guess I’m weird I like 'em with both ketchup and mustard, along with some chopped onions, preferibly vidalia. Or, on those days when I can deal with the heartburn, chili and cheese, yum \<burp\>.

Less is more. Mustard and onions only.

For burgers, mayo and onions only.

Mustard is it.

When I got braces way back when, I couldn’t eat mustard because it would stain the little bands. I was shorn of one of my staple foods. I tried ketchup, but it just wasn’t happening.

I just got out of bed and the coffee isn’t done yet. I’m too lazy to get the dictionary.

Is it “w **ei** ner”; or “w **ie** ner”? I always thought it was IE, as in “Wien” (Vienna), where wienerwurst was made?

It’s “wiener”. Mustard, ketchup, chili, cheese, and onions. I’m having deja vu. Didn’t we just do this thread?

I think we did. But to reiterate:

Mayonaise.  
Or chili and cheese.  
Or catsup and relish.  
Or mayonaise and catsup.  
Or mustard.  
Or mustard and saurkraut.  
Or nothing. Just a hotdog on a bun.

BTW: Wienerschnitzel’s chili-cheese dogs _rock_!

If it’s a Hebrew National, Gulden’s Spicy Brown Mustard, sometimes with chopped onions.

If it’s whatever type of hotdog they have at Fenway, with the super-soft bun that’s been steamed within an inch of it’s life while the vendor drags it up to the top of the bleacher seats, whatever mustard they pass out with it - I think it’s Gulden’s, but I can’t swear to it. Plain if they forget to pass mustard. The vendors don’t carry any other condiments.

If it’s anything but those two varieties, I usually pass, or smother it in whatever is available to cover up the taste of the dog. Ick.

Chili dogs are good, but I have to agree with Ukulele Ike that the chili overpowers the dog, so the variety of dog under the chili doesn’t matter that much to me, though I never have anything but Hebrew Nationals at home.

NO! Those go in the back.

There was a place here that did them right…brown mustard, relish, chopped onion, sliced tomato, kosher pickle spear, peppers, and celery salt…2 for $3. Best damn dogs I’ve ever had.

My wife’s mom is from outside Toledo. She’s promised to take to Tony Packo’s sometime. That ought to be a fun time.

In the backyard its gotta be Grey Poupon and chopped onion. If I’m at a hot dog joint that has all the fixin’s I usually go for chili and saurkraut.

Ketchup. You got a problem with that?

Also, chili and cheese, a bit of brown mustard

Saurkraut, yum.

Onions, jalepenos.

Sometimes all at the same time.

Mustard, preferrably spicy.

Onions.

Sometimes chili or cheese or both, if I’m feeling brave.

A condom if I don’t know where that wiener or weiner has been.

Mustard, Mayo, Ketchup, lots of onions, cheese. Kraut if I want to make the old man run from the bed so I can have it to myself.

Tony Packo’s is excellent, excellent. Best chili sauce you’ll get in the Midwest. Best heartburn too, but it’s worth it.

Don’t forget to peruse the signed buns while you’re there 🙂
