You trying to start another ketchup fight????
Ketchup is for french fries and bad steaks.
Here's a great Chicago style dog, link courtesy of GB on FF.
Sushi's favorite dog is Hebrew National and I think he is right!

No, I had no intention of starting a ketchup fight.
I did visit the chicago dog link and they say this about putting ketchup on a hot dog:
Sauce can be good on there sometimes but tomatoes, never! Ketchup has it's place, and I think it belongs on a hot dog along with mustard, onion and relish. So there!

I say they are full of bologna! Who puts tomatoes on a hot dog? Yuck. Not me.

One thing that I cant stand is celery salt. It just makes the whole thing taste to damn salty to the point where I cant taste anything else on the dog.

Not that I know of Doc. Just seasoned salt. 
I think the salt in just one dog with bun is enough to make your blood pressure rise.
Talking about that..... has anyone seen BigAl lately?

I watched a program on hot dogs and some baseball players from Venezuela (I think) ate theirs with mayo, onions and crushed potato chips. I tried it and it was pretty good.
Anyone from the Jersey area ever try the deep fried hot dogs from "Rutts Hut"? Word on the street is that they are the bomb!!

Alas, as you know, tinkers are the clown princes of the service industry. The best food is "free" food.
Every Saturday morning at the Harley shop they serve all of the hotdogs and buns, Ruffles Chips and chocolate chip cookies we highwaymen can take.
If you're in the Madison, Wisconsin area, cruise down Interstate S-39, and look for the Cambridge off-ramp. There's the big Harley logo (the 'Bar and Shield) on a huge spindle that rises above all of the buildings.
Follow the sound of the noise.

First off they use great hot dogs all beef. You can have them in various ways such as served plain, with kraut, with cheese, with chili cheese, or as a corn dog and their chili cheese fries are really good. I prefer the kraut myself but then the owner died a while back after I left Florida but I understand the new owners do the exact same things with the same products. They opened in the early '50 and was down the street from my High School with an open campus for lunch so I sure have eaten a few. I've also had good hot dogs in other places but the kraut dog is just memorable.
If you are old enough their was a place called Lum's that specialized in beer from all over the world and beer steamed hot dogs with kraut. They where also excellent but not Arbetters however good in their own way.
New York has good hot dogs also but it has been years since I was last there. NY has better street food than any other city I've visited any where in the world.

After reading this I noticed one thing, that being the "singular references" of consuming hot dogs.
For example, people might say, "When I eat a hot dog..."
This is one food item that should be eaten in a group of people--a mob is much better.
After all, one of the best hot dogs I ever had was when I was about seven years of age in the late 1950's, with my Dad and a few of his friends from work went to a Milwaukee Braves game at the old County Stadium. I got to see Eddie Mathews and Warren Spahn play.
I think that every hot dog I eat is judged up against those ballpark dogs and the memories that went with them.

Gentile hot dogs???
I only eat "Hebrew National."
Oh! did I ever mention that I'm a hot dog "snob" as well as a steel snob?"

Oh, BTW, did I tell you that I got into forum trouble again today?
Over dinner, I mentioned the unique and odd way I found myself in hot water, to wit my wife reminded me that the theme song to my life was recorded by Foreigner, and aptly entitled "Dirty White Boy." Of course, she was referring to the lyrics:
"I've been in trouble since I don't know when
I'm in trouble now and I know somehow I'll find trouble again"
It's always nice to know that when the chips are down, the woman you love will be standing at your side--laughing with everyone else...
Hi Blondie! Good to see you posting over here too!!!
For those who don't know, Blondie is my daughter. And ....she's expecting her first baby. Due Feb 8th.
She has done a very good job managing her weight so far. The doctor has given her all A's. Now the holiday season is coming up. That will be the hardest part for her.

I believe it is a beer because I just bought some over last weekend. Have no idea what it tastes like. I only keep beer around for cooking.
