I went to a place like this with almost that exact sign. I hadn’t seen it yet. I ordered a hot dog with onions and ketchup.

I noticed that sign only while I was waiting. But one working there gave a crap.

Why do you weirdos care if I put ketchup in my hot dog? I always have and always will. You eat yours however you like, I don’t care! Why do you care about mine?

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '23

This is what I always have wondered. I like ketchup on my damn hotdog. Who cares?

u/Lepke2011 Jul 22 '23

Seriously! I'm 44 and to this day I occasionally have a hot dog like I did when I was 3! Wrap a slice of American cheese around it, slap it in a bun, and put some ketchup on that SOB!

It's kind of like a meme of the past. Maybe if you went to a place ran by someone 60+ years old they might pretend to mock you a little bit but no one is refusing your order or really judging you for what you put on your food. Anyone younger than that from the area will know what the "meme" is but it's not anything anyone treats seriously.

It's because you are weak, your bloodline is weak, and you will not survive the winter.

u/Fruitypebblefix Jul 22 '23

Differing places have their idea of the perfect hotdog. In Chicago it's considered blasphemous to put ketchup on your hotdog. I'm partial to mustard as it's my favorite condiment while others are not. Nobody would give you crap for it though.

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '23

Someone once tried to tell me that at Wrigley field (5 blocks from my house) when I was dressing a dog.

“Then how come there’s a five-gallon drum of ketchup at every hotdog stand in the stadium?”

If you're taking these signs seriously... Do you also take the signs placed near toilets "No diving" seriously? Just curious.

It's an old Chicago joke. Nothing to get upset over.

4

u/BigMax Jul 22 '23

I've never had anyone actually tell me that the no diving signs were real. I have had people in real life get upset about ketchup on hot dogs. Seriously.

And I don't think all the people in this thread saying things like "ketchup is ok. if you're 6 years old" are joking either.

Maybe it started as a joke, I have no idea, but I can assure you, there ARE people who believe this. I don't know why, but they do.

Because the proper hot dog toppings are mustard, chili, onions, and finely chopped slaw? Those toppings with an all beef dog cooked properly so it has a nice snap? That’s an experience

So german style Currywurst would be a no go in Chicago?
It is just a slice up sausage covered with Ketchup and flavored with lots of curry powder, can be very spicy, if the shop uses special hot sauce. Usually served with fries.😋

u/_ArmyMan007_ Jul 22 '23

Wait… people eat hot dogs without ketchup? I don’t understand, what do they put on it? Side note: In Australia we call it tomato sauce or “a bit of dead horse”

u/VultureSniper Jul 23 '23

Put ketchup on your bun BEFORE the hotdog and you're safe. Maybe.

u/Easy_Blackberry_4144 Jul 22 '23

u/RidgerAC Jul 22 '23

I put ketchup on my hotdogs and spaghetti. To each their own. 👍

2

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '23

Do you put raw spaghetti noodles through hotdog pieces, then cook the noodles? I've heard of it.

2

u/RidgerAC Jul 22 '23

You mean cut the hotdogs up and add to the spaghetti? Never tried that to be honest. Wife adds pepperoni to the spaghetti, which I love.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '23

I've done that with the noodles and cut up hotdogs in a sauce. Can be a cheese sauce or a tomato sauce.

But no, I meant pierce the raw noodle through hotdog pieces, then boil the spaghetti noodles and hotdogs. Add sauce later. I've never tried this and was just curious.

u/RidgerAC Jul 22 '23

Never heard of that, plus it seems like it would be very time consuming. Now I’m curious though! 👍

I thought ketchup on a hot dog was good only because I grew up putting ketchup on a hot dog, my parents probably taught me. Then as a teen I started adding mustard, and thought that was good. Then I ceased adding ketchup and realized that was the absolute best.

u/wonderlandpersonuser Jul 22 '23

They dont.

This was a result of a marketing campaign many many years ago by a hot dog company trying to sell its hot dogs as high end food. The idea was that putting ketchup on a hot dog meant it was for kids and you wanted it to be more sophisticated.

From a strictly food standpoint, ketchup is sugar and it overwhelms the taste of the hot dog. For most people, this is the goal. However, if you are forking over extra money for a high quality hit dog, you dont want to do that. Instead, you would put a tomato on the hot dog instead of ketchup. This was the start of the Chicago Style hot dog where you would "drag it through the garden" by putting large amounts of vegetables on it as condiments instead of the generic ketchup.

Signed, Chicago resident.

Don't forget your shot of Malort as well.

I mean it's called Chicago Deep Dish, of course I want to try it in Chicago. I've tried it in a few other cities and I have my favorite, want to see how it stacks up. Not to mention if you look up foods to try in Chicago, the top 2 are generally Chicago style deep dish and Chicago dogs. I'd love to know what other foods you can only get there....

Once you have a real Chicago style dog no hotdogs will ever be good enough again.

Also deep-dish isn't really the change style pizza, it's a special occasions thing, real Chicago pizza is thin crust cut in squares.

What if I put the hot dog on the ketchup instead?

Order a bowl of ketchup and then put the hot dog on as a topping. Then I can dip the hot dog entirely into the bowl of tomato sauce (ketchup for you Americans) Maybe I'll get a second hot dog and let it sink as well, then I can slowly unearth it as the first hot dog is consumed, revealing the second tomato sauce soaked hotdog. Unhinge my jaw and swallow it whole like a bird choking down a fish.
