The traditional Argentine "hot dog" is actually a chorizo on sliced bread. They call it a "choripan." The chorizo doesn't really taste like the Mexican chorizo I can find here in the US, it's a good deal more flavorful and spicy. It's really more of a sausage/brat type setup than a hot dog. They usually come with chimichurri sauce or plain with mustard. And they are absolutely delicious.
People eat hot dogs down there, but choripan is way more popular.
Yeah, I've seen very similar sauces all around the world. The Argentine version is mainly ketchup and mayo, but they add a bit of pimento or oregano to flavor. It's a nice mix of tangy and sweet.

This is all I needed to know. Chorizo in the states outside of Texas tastes like congealed oil in a rubber tube. I don't understand why all of the chorizo but one I've tried has been bland and terrible, but I'm always hoping to find the good stuff. Argentina was on the bucket list anyways ;p

That poll tho.
Cream cheese on a hot dog...hmmmm...As disgusting as that sounds, I would probably still try it at least once.

Nope. This is very similar to how Donald Trump won the majority of primary delegates across the country. I'm positive there's a firm cross section of voters here.

so i live in Houston where we have plenty of BK's, James Coney Island's, and Sonic locations.
i gotta say that i really just prefer Sonic. JCI is really good, but it tastes kind of odd, and old fashioned. it's hard to explain, but i guess it's the way they prepare their chili and onions and such. they aren't bad, but they aren't my favorite, despite loving the idea of a dedicated hot dog place to go to.
i tried BK's hot dog ONCE, and i can't score it because it was one of those instances where i was at a bad BK location. the food was barely warm, the fries were old and semi-stiff, and the drink was mostly flat. i tried the one with relish and ketchup, and while the flavor was good, the relish tasted a bit off, and it all could have been much different had it been hot and fresh.
the idea of a whopper dog sounds awesome though. i could totally see myself ordering one without the mayo. i also like the idea of the bbq dog with onion rings that someone mentioned on the last page. mmmmmmm so hungry now...

Why is cream cheese lower in the poll than mayo?

We have this thing called Parisare in Sweden which is pretty good. It's sausage, relish, mustard and ketchup but is served in hamburger buns instead of hotdog buns. Guess it's technically a burger but the toppings are all usual stuff for hot dogs. I like em, especially with a fried egg as well.

Guess it depends on where you purchase. I got super excited about picking a hot dog up for the first time in over a year, but made the mistake of getting a chili cheese dog at Sonic. Straight trash.
So this is how we find out which of us is an alien infiltrator.
my fuckin god
how do we forget to add the best ingredient to the poll
You put mustard in your coffee too, don't you?
Linguica dogs are also fucking boss.

Mayo and cream cheese on hotdogs?
Putting those on a hotdog is almost as bad as putting pineapples on pizza

I'm on my diet. Those hot dogs look good and my friend has been telling me he's been going to BK for those damn dogs. Makes me want to cave in and get one. Have had hot dogs twice in the last 2 year.

who the fuck puts mayo or cream cheese
This sounds delicious!
I grew up with the Dodger dog toppings.
That Peruvian version of the Hot dog reminds me of everything I ate in the three weeks I spent there. French Fries and mayo in everything. I got served a salad with fries and mayo on it. Fries in soup too.

yeah, i mean, i can understand how it only works on certain types of wieners, but i think the poll is meant to be in a general sense. give BBQ sauce a chance everyone!
the Memphis dog on that chart looks right up my alley. it's basically the standard "BBQ cheddar" ingredients on a hot dog. i've lived in Texas all my life and for the most part when there's a cookout and hot dogs are present (which i'll admit is rare) there's usually BBQ sauce and cheese to go on it.
at bare minimum, any place i've been with hot dogs there's been mustard (which i don't personally like) and ketchup on hand to top it with.

To be honest, some of my favorite memories growing up is going to Dodgers games with my family and getting a Dodger Dog with everything on it.
The only time I put ketchup on a hot dog now is when ever I go and see a Dodgers game. It really takes me back.
When it comes to eating hot dogs anywhere else, I prefer chopped onions and mustard.

The chili cheese coneys do taste like they were pressed fully constructed out of a tube, but they do technically beat their burgers and... well, actually I think nearly everything at Sonic is barely edible except their shakes, which are usually both really tasty and possibly the most unhealthy fast food product available. The larges are something like 1800 calories, 120 grams of fat and 200 grams of carbs.
Their tots were good 15 years ago but I tried them again last year and the batch I got was like eating a shredded foam mat soaked in oil

All you guys who picked ketchup disgust me. Mustard for life.
Also I just don't get the appeal of mayo, it holds no value to me as a condiment. Someone wanna explain?

The proper hot dog toppings are mustard and DILL relish.
Or alternatively hot dog chili.
Don't mix them though.

It's also probably worth remembering the poll asks about which are ACCEPTABLE toppings, not PREFERRED. Some of those I'd be OK with but either don't care to have on hot dogs that much (guacamole) or have mostly moved past (ketchup.)
Then there's cream cheese. What the fuck? That didn't even have an appealing picture, that just looked like someone put soft serve on a hot dog. Screw that.
