What's Normal? - Ketchup or mustard on your hot dog? (1 Viewer)

[Gr00vus]

How many hot dogs do you eat if you're having them for a lunch/dinner type meal (as opposed to a quick snack)?

Am I chopping them up in my spaghetti?

I was thinking sandwich mode, but sure, go nuts. What's your average hot dog intake at a meal?

 

[psychobillies]

For those who like Chicago style, this stuff is pretty good. Keep in mind that the only other Chicago style hot dog I've ever had came from Sonic, so I'm not pretending to be an expert.

You can't toss all that in a blender and expect it to taste the same, IMO. It's flavor AND texture that makes it the best to me.

I agree, but I don't usually have all of those things at home, so this stuff is good in a pinch.

Most of the time, two. Hot dog or corn dog. With a side of chips and salsa/dip or macaroni salad or BBQ beans.

When I was a young man
Me mammy said to me
Stay away from all those Yankee girls
They'll never let you be
So I went to New York City
To see what I could see
They put mustard on me hot dog, boys
They never let me be

We rarely eat hot dogs but I’ll take a good artichoke or pepper relish if available.

Pepper Relish

This sweet relish has just a little bit of heat and makes a delicious salsa when served with chips. Lots of uses... serve on top of your grilled hot dog or hamburger - mix it in with your fresh summer beans or blackeyed peas - delicious alongside grilled chicken.

[Pipes]

Mustard + relish, or Chili + cheese are the only two ways I ever make them at home

I love a Chicago style when I'm in Chicago though

Best Chicago Style dog I ever had was at Home Depot. Friggin' Covid closed down the cart and my life is forever changed for the worse as a result.

Ours still has the cart and I swing by almost every time when I go to Home Depot, which is only every few months). So good

I’m flexible. Crappy dog def gets ketchup.

A spicy mustard always works.

Anyone who voluntarily puts that yellow French’s mustard which is akin to the sweat from Satan’s taint on their dog is a madman.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Mustard on a well done grilled dog is good. And grill those buns while you are there.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Mustard on a Dodger Dog with onions at Chavez Ravine

-Ketchup is to dip french fries in, don't use it on hamburgers either

*I'm one of them - love yellow mustard on a hotdog.
*I'm assuming that at least half if not more of the Mustard votes are thinking yellow mustard and not other mustard types. If I'm correct then the yellow mustard votes well outnumbers ketchup.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

When you cannot get a grilled Dodger Dog, next best thing to me is one of those dogs you see in the cart when it's done right

When at Home:
-Take a small pot and fill it about halfway up with water, bring the water to a boil and then turn the water off as you drop the dogs in, it's OK if you drop them in and the water is still boiling but turn it off and let them set in there for about 5-7 minutes and you will have a wonderful tasting hot dog that is about as good as you could get anywhere

-I like Kayem and I also like Nathan's, the ones that are skinny and long, kind of bend and are only 6 in a pack, maybe they are skinless but they cook up nice

 

[Psychopav]

Chicago style is the way (celery salt, mustard, relish, onions, tomato, sport peppers, pickle spear). Or chili cheese. Those are the only two ways for me.

Bingo. With poppy seed bun please.

If not Chicago style, I'll take mustard and onions only please (alt Chicago style).

 

[Joe Bryant]

Mustard only. Ever. End of story.

 

[3C's]

yellow mustard is ****ing disgusting, and ketchup isn't much better. though I do like ketchup if it's a half/half mix with hot sauce.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Mustard tastes like puke.

Puke tastes like whatever you last ate.

 

[massraider]

These buns

I am aware that they aren't available everywhere.

Mustard and raw onion. if you have a good relish, I"m not against that either.

 

[Sand]

Mustard tastes like puke.

I could suck it straight from the bottle. Love the stuff.

As far as hot dogs, the right answer is 1/4 ketchup, 3/4 mustard.

 

[Bogart]

How do we feel about what to put on corn dogs? I bought a case of them a few weeks back, and on late nights at the office, I pop a couple in the air fryer and dinner is served. While I normally go yellow mustard for dipping, will branch out and have used: ketchup, BBQ sauce, chipotle aioli, Whataburger honey butter sauce, etc.

 

[Chaos34]

That said, here in Texas, we are slowly starting to get the small street carts with bacon wrapped dogs and peppers on the side that I had only seen in San Fran and Seattle. Especially outside of concerts after the show. Big potential.

Those carts have been in downtown LA as long as I can remember. At least back to the mid-80s. The guy outside of Crypto.com has a few options for toppings. He has a mayo infused with grilled onions. Add lettuce and tomato and it's a BLT dog. So good. I share Laker seats with a college buddy. He gets his with with onion and thick squirt of chipotle "ketchup". Also so good. Mmmm bacon.

I voted ketchup cuz y'all are so mean about it on a dog. I was raised on ketchup, mustard and relish. Tho sometimes we'd get treated to baked bean dogs. Mom knew what's up.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Usually just mustard

Will occasionally do dill relish or kraut

Chicago Style is acceptable

Coney with chili onions mustard also acceptable (I prefer grilled onions)

Pretty much any topping besides ketchup is acceptable

 

[Chaos34]

i recommend these if you see them in your grocery.

That stuff is terrible. Color, smell, and most importantly taste. You are better than that! Come on AAA!

 

[Spartans Rule]

Both for me.

Love that folks will happily scarf down the processed racoon guts and shoe leather in a typical hot dog, but get all food snobby if someone dares to put ketchup on it.

you're slummin if you do don't buy possum franks

 

[nirad3]

I know I'm in the vast minority but I think Mustard is disgusting.

Nope, it's gross.

If anything, I'll put ketchup on a dog. Prefer chili & cheese, though.

I know, I'm like a 10-year old.

 

[Ilov80s]

The neither crowd intrigues me.

Both correct! Yellow mustard is nasty.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Kraut

Chili

Mustard and onion if there’s no kraut or chili

 

[Judge Smails]

Spicy brown mustard is the starting point. You might as well be Satan if you try and order ketchup on a hot dog in some places - especially Chicago. I like pickles or relish. Tomatoes at times. Add chili if I’m in a Tommy’s vibe

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I don’t understand the Midwest’s obsessive anti-ketchup on hot dogs stance. It’s my go-to choice. But I don’t really like mustard except on soft pretzels.

 

[belljr]

I think I'm stopping a wawa and getting a 1/4 lb all beef turkey lips on the way home......

 

[massraider]

I am 100% sure I have not purchased ketchup since the 90's.

 

[UncleZen]

Boiling hot dogs is so 70's. Grilled or air fryer is the way to go, both until the dog is blackened. Then add a little mustard and chili if you have it and yummmm!

 

[Brunell4MVP]

What's normal do you prefer to "cook them"?

Grilled
Boiled
Pan cooked
Microwave


I'm a boiled water fella

Air fryer excels at hot dogs.

Sam the Cooking Guy shows the way

Agree here. Air fryer is money for hot dogs.

 

[massraider]

Perhaps your boiling technique is lacking. Someone provided a handy guide on how to master the ancient art of boiling processed animal scraps.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Mustard with onion. Occasionally I'll throw mustard and ketchup together. But never ketchup with onion.

 

[Socrates11]

This is right up there with ranch or blue cheese with your wings.

Do what you like. Some days I like one, other days I like the other. God has yet to strike me down for either decision.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Racoon guts are delicious

I haven't seen anyone argue otherwise.

You guys are good eggs.

 

[TheAristocrat]

This thread had me pan fry a couple Nathan's, toast the buns in the leftover butter and hot dog drippings, add ketchup, mustard, and relish, and be thankful for life in general.

 

[Mister CIA]

btw, my go-to hot dog is Teton Waters Ranch grass-fed beef sausage links found at my local Costco.

 

[Da Guru]

When I was younger used to use both until my dad took me to a baseball game and said "mustard" only.

2 with mustard!!

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Do what you like. Some days I like one, other days I like the other. God has yet to strike me down for either decision.

You’re correct of course.

As long as you choose ranch …
