Kat Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Here is an easy recipe for a Chicago Hot Dog to get people in the Chicago spirit for the Super Bowl tomorrow. Go Bears!!I think I will take Michael out to Bill's Drive-in in Evanston to try his very first Chicago hot dog. See you later...Chicago Hot DogHot dog (Vienna Beef is the Chicago hot dog brand, but regular hot dogs like Oscar Mayer weiners work too)Bun (poppyseed preferred)Boil, steam or microwave your hot dog. I like to microwave mine by placing it in the bun, wrapping in a napkin and heating for 30-40 seconds. This steams the bun, too, and any kid can do it.Toppings:MustardKetchup (optional or forbidden, depending on who you ask)Sweet relishTomatoOnionCelery salt (the secret ingredient)Dill pickle (spear)sport peppers (optional)cucumber (optional) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kat Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 John, you're gonna kill me. We went out to Bill's, the hot dog joint around Howard and Western and I put ketchup on my hotdog! Michael had a chili dog with mustard on it though....eeewwwww!!! He'd never had a chili dog before. They put mashed potatoes and all kinds of crazy stuff on hot dogs in Brazil. Bill's is pretty good, but I still think Byron's on Irving is the best little hot dog stand in Chicago.Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Grieb Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 John; I will not use catsup on hot dogs in Chicago. Everyone enjoy the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone enjoy the game.The Colts are favored, but I'm hoping the Bears show up and make a game of it. Superbowl blow-outs are such a let-down.

emb021 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 (edited) Ketchup (optional or forbidden, depending on who you ask)Ketchup... the red menace!Funny thing is that I like ketchup on a lot of things. Was that was as a kid, and there are still many thing I MUST have ketchup for: burgers, fries, chicken fingers/strips (unless there is other sauces available), fried fish/shrimp/etc (never cared for tartar sauce or cocktail sauce).BUT, there are a few (very few) things I will not put ketchup on and prefer mustard on instead.One of those are hot dogs. I refuse to put ketchup on them. Give me mustard (not too much), chopped onions, maybe kosher dill pickles on my dog and I'm fine.I love going to Costco for a hotdog (with deli mustard and lots of onions) and a drink. For a buck and a half. Mmmmm. Edited February 21, 2007 by Michael Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
