    I don't, but whenever I go to a restaurant that does it is absolutely great!

    Gotta be mustard... ketchup on a hotdog looks like Lorena Bobbitt had a go at it.

    BBQ is a celebration of culture in America. It is the closest thing we have to the wines and cheeses of Europe. 

    Drive a few hundred miles in any direction, and the experience changes dramatically.

    I live in Boetje(bo-gee) Country.  

    A staple for brats and dogs, nice punch.  You will also see it on sandwhich shop tables here.

    Along with a quality kosher dog or brat, all you need is some kraut, and finely minced raw onions.

    The Original has won some serious hardware.  Really like the Cody Rd/Boetje mashup, the punch is slowed a bit.


    The cocktail sauce is awesome too.

    I make ketchup from time to time. I like Heinz and mine tastes just like it. But neither has ever found it's way onto one of my hot dogs. :) 

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    The perfect hotdog has chili, yellow mustard, diced onion, and a sprinkle of cayenne. 

    But I'm also not one to care what someone else puts on their dog.

    First thing is to start with a great hotdog, cook it how you like it then load that pup up! It's all good!

    When I dice or slice onions for burgers or dawgs, I will soak them in either cider or rice wine vinegar for 10-15 minutes.   Try it, you'll like it.

    i trick i learned here along time ago is to brush the roll with some butter lightly and dust it with a favorite rub before tossing the roll on the grill

    For you mustard lovers out there, have a try at this. The darker the seed, the more pungent it is. Indian groceries may have black mustard seed. Brown isn't as strong, yellow is passable from seed.

    Mash the seed in a mortar and pestle. Do a good job of crushing it fine. Then,  add just a little water and let it sit for 10 - 15 minutes. Better, get juice from green grapes or Granny Smith apples. The paste can be wasabi hot if using black mustard. The bite will fade rapidly if not used. Within 3 - 4 days chilled, won't be any more pungent than basic store bought. Water, not vinegar, is what makes mustard really hot, but it doesn't keep.

    Being a little biased here but a Chicago dog is the only way to go for me! Mustard (absolutely NO ketchup), raw onions, relish, sport peppers, celery salt, kraut, and a pickle spear! Voila!

    Ketchup.   HATE Mustard!

    Chicago Dogs (even though I live across the pond in MI) are the best - poppy seed bun, pickle spears, onions, relish, tiny peppers, mustard (skip!) and tomatoes.

    We have what's probably the "best" Coney Place in the known universe by us - Lipumas.  They make every kind of dog known to mankind - Chicago, Russian, Polish, Mexican, Peruvian (kidding) and a lot more.

    Even better - we have some decent laws in MI as to what can go into a dog.  As my pop used to say - "never eat a hot dog outside of Michigan".  True words.

    For me it's usually ketchup, mustard, and dill pickle relish.  Maybe some shredded cheese.  However there is a fantastic restaurant in Memphis called Hog n Hominy that serves a Beef and Cheddar dog on a pretzel bun.   They make their own in house, and they only serve it with mustard.   Probably best one I've ever eaten.
    --Because I'm like ice, buddy. When I don't like you, you've got problems.

    Hotdogs are like pizza, everything goes on a hotdog. No way could I pick between ketchup and mustard. The minute I you lock me into one, I'll crave the other.

    My friends and I agreed that catsup was ok if you were a child, or if it was one condiment in conjunction with others, but never alone. 

    Mustard, on the other hand, can be done in any form and combination.
