Best hot dogs are chili cheese or hot slaw with BBQ sauce.
As a Chicagoan, I agree about the Ketchup thing. Hot dogs are better with Ketchup - fact.
Frankly, Frankie, I am offended by your pizza comment. Chicago pizza is definitively better than NY pizza.
And I'm assuming you're referring to NY pizza as the supposed superior, because those artesian crackers they serve on the east coast barely qualify as pizza!

Huh.
Crackers? Maybe eat better New York pizza

As a Chicago resident, and an mixologist, I'm dissapointed to tell you that:
1. Malort is no longer bottled in Chicago. It's made in Florida. The front of the label on the bottle lies.
2. Malort no longer contains greater wormwood.
It is still one of the most disgusting things you can put in your mouth. It's a joke shot.
There are room for both Chicago Dogs and Coney Islands in my heart. And in my stomach.
Why is it neon green?
It doesn't bother me one bit. I've had this drink once. And it was because I was at Bar Deville (RIP) and a pretty tattooed hipster girl talked me into it.
Ketchup on a hot dog is fine. Ketchup on a Chicago Dog is just evil.

Gotta have the sport peppers.I like Chicago style dogs but they're too messy and hard to eat and mostly just revolve around dogmatic obsession with tradition.
Just chop up some onions, some tomatoes and put them on a dog with mustard and relish and you're 90% of the way there.
I like a Chicago dog, but it's an unwieldy meal. I don't understand why they don't make a relish of all the ingredients chopped together.

It is. A full pickle makes eating it weird and the peppers should just be chopped. It's all about the experience and tradition so people refuse to make them easier to eat.Its not unwieldy, its just not meant for the hands of a child.
Also, I'm leaning towards this video being fake. It'd be nigh impossible to not realize that is ketchup by mere sight, much less taste.

mustard is freaking nasty. ruins anything it's put on for me. i rather eat the hotdog with no condiments.

Punishment for ketchup on a hot dog is Chicago:
