NFT: Favorite Hot Dog Toppings

CRinCA : 7/3/2020 10:32 pm
While I tend to gravitate to Nathan’s on those rare occasions I want a hot dog, I’m going all in tomorrow with the foot long homemade dog from my local butcher.

I will go with kraut and yellow mustard and I’m happy. Brooklyn represents. My wife however is all about green relish and brown mustard. My first born son has a thing for onions on his which I don’t get. And while I would not personally put ketchup on a hot dog, whatever floats your boat.

Where does BBI stand?

(p.s Is Yellow Hot Dog Relish still a thing?)

Chicago dogs. In Chicago, all are good.
For anyone that used to go to the old Yankee stadium  
robbieballs2003 : 7/3/2020 10:44 pm : link
there was a vendor there who sold Oz dogs. He put chili, hot sauce, pray can cheese, and potato sticks. I used to house like 4 of those before walking in to the stadium

I don't really eat hotdogs anymore. Occasionally I will have turkey dogs with quality mustard.

How does relish and mustard go together? That sounds awful.
You damn Pandora clone:

I seriously have no clue what that means. I recall some arguments oftentimes fairly angry, about ketchup on hot dogs. Not my thing, but I won’t breudhe others. At least on this topic- orhers will get me banned.

I don’t really disagree- i’ll let my wife know your thoughts (grin).
So many ways to enjoy a dog!  
trueblueinpw : 7/3/2020 11:06 pm : link
I like yellow mustard, kraut and India relish. I like Vidalia onion with yellow mustard. Brown mustard is good too. Pretty much anything except ketchup.

I like a Chicago style dog, which I understand to be a slice of tomato, a quarter wedge half sour pickle and onion with mustard. I might have that wrong... but remember enjoying Chicago style dogs.
As I am on a ketogenic diet, my favorite topping is the bun.

I hate you all. ;-)
Usually either just a little bit of ketchup and mustard  
jhibb : 7/3/2020 11:33 pm : link
or nothing at all. Most often nothing.

I like sauerkraut, too, but don't often have that on hand.

I never get the ripping of ketchup, as long as you don't put a lot on it. I mean, I get that people think it can drown out the taste of the dog, but smothering it with chili and cheese is ok? Just seems weird to me.

uconngiant : 7/4/2020 1:20 am : link
I would go with Chili cheese and diced onion
If it's a NYC street dog (if I ever have one again...) it's onions  
sb from NYT Forum : 7/4/2020 1:20 am : link
...Otherwise sauerkraut with mustard, chili or coleslaw (my current fav). Never ketchup.

Actually started fermenting my own sauerkraut 2 1/2 weeks ago so it'd be ready for the 4th.
Diced onions and relish  
widmerseyebrow : 7/4/2020 1:28 am : link
That's it.
Nathan’s mustard is a must.  
Giant John : 7/4/2020 4:15 am : link
Diced onions and a slice of cheddar cheese.. I’ll take two please.
Mustard and kraut top the list.  
MOOPS : 7/4/2020 4:35 am : link
The dirty waters, which I haven't had in decades, were pretty darn good with the onions.
Relish and mustard is a good combo.
An occasional chili dog works.
Never catsup. And if anyone suggests mayo, shoot them.
Typically I go  
aimrocky : 7/4/2020 5:24 am : link
Grey Poupon with a few slices of McClures sweet and spicy pickles. If chili is available, that’s my favorite topping.
Cheese dogs with mustard  
Sneakers O'toole : 7/4/2020 6:12 am : link
and onions.
I grew up with brown mustard and kraut and that's my preference. But  
Ira : 7/4/2020 6:28 am : link
I don't mind trying some of the other popular toppings so long as relish isn't one of them.
Mustard,  
section125 : 7/4/2020 6:56 am : link
Relish, chopped onion, sauerkraut...or any combo thereof, except mustard which is as required as the bun.

Dirty water dogs - red onion, mustard, sauerkraut
Ketchup and sweet relish.  
Bubba : 7/4/2020 7:00 am : link
Go ahead I can take it.

If I am in the mood for a topping its typically chili and cheese.

+1

But I will admit if I'm out of brown mustard, I'll go frou frou and put whole grain Dijon mustard instead of spicy brown. What some producers call Moutarde a la Ancienne...

I suppose that sorta elevates the hot dog to a type of chocrouterie?

Gulden's spicy brown mustard. occasionally kraut or sauteed onions.

THere should be a constituional amendment banning ketchup on hot dogs! :-)
Like a good plain pizza  
UConn4523 : 7/4/2020 7:59 am : link
hot dogs shouldn’t have much on them. Some spicy mustard is all I really want. Dumping toppings on perfectly good foods is something I typically avoid.
Pushcart Onion Relish  
varco : 7/4/2020 8:16 am : link
I vote for the onion relish served by NYC pushcarts back in the day. I make it at home and will do so today for our July 4th. BBQ. We use it on hot dogs, brats and burgers, as well. Memories of "Club Sabrett".

Still working on my first cup of coffee. Happy Independence Day!
Ketchup and relish.  
Crispino : 7/4/2020 8:27 am : link
I don’t like mustard and I don’t like sauerkraut, so those are out for me.
Nathan’s owns Coney Island but Sabretts is the real NYC dog ...  
Spider56 : 7/4/2020 8:56 am : link
The best ones come from the street vendors who rarely change the water.
A weeks worth of cooking slime is what you need for authentic taste, then the toppings are a matter of personal choice. A steady diet of these and an occasional knish is a guarantee for CAD before you turn 40.

Jalapeno's and yellow mustard.
Mustard and Kraut

But the mustard has to be Boar's Head. Try it. Its a really spicy brown mustard that will grab you.

Spicy brown mustard

Spicy brown mustard with a pickle slice

Pimento cheese spread - this is a new one for me, we had a pimento cheese spread yesterday and last night I thought to try it on a hot dog. It was delicious.

ketchup for me.
I enjoy hot dogs many ways...  
EricJ : 7/4/2020 9:38 am : link
first of all, Thummans hot dogs are the best period....

I am starting to enjoy them with hot banana peppers and mustard.

Chili and diced red onions

If you grill the hot dogs well done where they rip open and get slightly burnt, then ketchup works well.
Boar's Head hot dogs (pork and beef type) with most any kind of  
Giants61 : 7/4/2020 9:52 am : link
mustard and kraut is my go to at home. However the two greatest hot dogs I have ever had out was the chili dogs served at a little stand in Old Saybrook CT called Putters and the Chicago dog served at Portillo's in the greater Chicago area. By the way those of you that don't like kraut, try adding a little chopped onion and brown sugar when you're heating it.
Yup Portillos hot dogs

But don't you dare put any ketchup on that fine cut of meat! ;-)
Certainly wouldn't go with this often,  
jhibb : 7/4/2020 10:07 am : link
but when driving through Cleveland and stopping at Happy Dog, I tried Michael Symon's topping choice of chunky peanut butter, Sriracha, and alien pickle relish and it was actually damn good.
Sauerkraut And Yellow Mustard  
Trainmaster : 7/4/2020 10:40 am : link
Brown mustard if you must (not as good).

I don’t get the onions or relish one bit.

If you put ketchup on a hot dog, you should be drawn and quartered (see mustard on a hamburger).

That is all.

Kraut, mustard, sweet relish  
Giantgator : 7/4/2020 10:40 am : link
on a not-dog.
Chopped up white onions  
pjcas18 : 7/4/2020 10:47 am : link
and spicy mustard. that's it.

I can eat a chili dog, but not my favorite.

I once beat the Fenway challenge with this. a hot dog and a beer every inning. all my hot dogs had chopped onions (and yellow mustard, but still good).

Anybody else out there that used to love the Hot Dogs from Grovers Pig Stand? My go to was their Hot Dog with everything. Grovers Pig Stand was located on the river side of the main drag between Endwell and Endicott. Near where Lupo's Char Pit is now located.
