Chicago Style Hot Dog

Grilled hot dogs topped with sweet relish, chopped onions, tomatoes, spicy peppers, mustard, celery salt and a dill pickle.  This hot dog hails from Chicago and features a poppy seed bun.

Depending on what region of the country you live, your hot dog topping could vary a lot.  However, the Windy City dog starts the same as many other city’s dogs.  It’s all about the dog.  I like to use Bar S dogs and steam or grill them on the stove top.

The sweet pickled relish may sound odd on top of a hot dog, but the onions, mustard and dill pickle truly tie all the ingredients together in one amazing bite!  With just a few extra steps, an otherwise ordinary hot dog can be turned into a timeless classic dish that’s enjoyed all throughout the Midwest.

Steaming or grilling hot dogs is perfect for quick lunch or dinner idea.  Boiling hot dogs seal in the juices and keeps the inside moist and flavorful while grilled hot dogs add an additional layer of flavor.  I’ve visiting Chicago throughout most of my life, having lived just 2 hour away.  One of my favorite things to eat in the city besides their famous deep dish pizza is the Chicago style hot dog.  It’s a must every time I visit!

With the Wisconsin Badgers playing basketball tomorrow and family and friends visiting in town, I’ll be serving up this classic dish for the game.
