Adults can't have sweet things!?!
I only recognize 3 ways to eat hotdogs:
Ketchup and Mustard
Ketchup and Peanut Butter
Corndog
I love the Street Dogs in TO, gotta have one everytime i'm up from Buffalo.

Sweet vs too sweet.
Disclaimer: I don't dip fries in ketchup.
Edit: also, the ketchup favor is too powerful, covering every other favors

I invented California Hot Dog Sauce. Spoiler: it's just mayo.
Kids. My kids love ketchup on a hotdog but they get a pass because their taste buds are shitty until they get older.

Mustard, Sriracha, Onion, Relish ...
If there's chili add cheese.

Dill pickle relish is infinitely better than sweet relish.
Spicy chow chow is better than them both, but not suitable on a chicago dog.
... GAFFER, help this guy! Teach him or her what it means to taste good or decent at least.
Punishment for ketchup on a hot dog is Chicago:
The Chicago Handshake
Your Malort doesn't scare me, Chicagoan, I've already been inducted.
The ketchuping of hot dogs will continue until my morale improves.
Depends on the hot dog for me. If it's a big delicious grilled sausage then I will just do mustard and sriracha. But a store bought Oscar Myer type? Ketchup is fine.
Italian Sausage Sanwich with peppers, onions, hot sauce is a staple around here.
If you can't hang with the Chow Mein Sandwiches...

Ketchup>relish sure,but in a hot dog, relish is perfection. It doesn't overpower any taste, just adds to it. Ketchup should not be on any hot dog. Too much vinegar and no balance vs the rest of the ingredients.
IMO a great hot dog is fantastic food stuff and it shouldn't be ruined by ketchup. Eat your ketchup with a nice side of fries. Now that's perfect.

EDIT: Mustard sucks.

I'm from Chicago and I never put mustard on my dogs for one simple reason: why the fuck would I put that shit on a hot dog to kill any and all flavor that actually compliments a quality beef dog? Seriously. If it's a good dog you don't need mustard hiding the taste. Some homemade relish, celery salt, ketchup and off you go. Mustard is far too overpowering and only compromises the flavor.

Why are there such passionate opinions about what you put on a hot dog its just a hot dog
I'm going to punch you in the stomach. PM me your address.
for the true connoisseur (we had a thread on this a little bit ago)
Man, hot dogs are an ugly ass food.
You're one with weak tastebuds, if some thing as basic as ketchup is considered sweet. Not my fault your receptors are disfunctional.
I'm fine with ketchup on burgers or hot dogs but if you want it on a steak then you need to get a better steak.
a good steak needs nothing put on top of it, just the seasonings it was cooked in (and even that really doesn't need to be more than a little salt and pepper).
yes even steak sauce is just as much of a sin as ketchup.
On the contrary a good mustard can amplify the meat and spices in a good sausage and further mustard emulsified fats in the hot dog and contributes to texture and mouthfeel.
GLORK!!
Part of me understands how the first chow Mein sandwich came into being. Just don't understand why it got to the second...
I don't eat them because they're pretty
All that needs to be said.

If by Chicagoans you mean all civilised peoples then we can talk
It was a staple of my community. They served it once a week at all the public schools.
If this is actually true it's downright pathetic as well as disturbing.
Even you have to admit it ain't pretty.
Agree 100%, I love a little ketchup and some mustard on my dogs.

Aye lad. Next you're gonna try to say that waffles covered with maple syrup aint sweet either, yes?
I think it's pretty in person. It's like cereal. You want that balance of crunchy and soft noodles. It's great! You can technically just eat the dry fried noodles too.
Also, if you actually PM me your address I'll send you some.
Scrambled eggs
Agreed there but if those arn't available, then ketchup works for me.
Ketchup English muffins and cheese. Delicious pizza.
Just as long as my Maxwell Street polish is left alone.
I wouldn't put ketchup on a dog myself, but some places here in Chicago are real stupid about it. Like there's a place called Gene and Judes that won't even give you ketchup for fries because of this shit. The McD across the street started charging people for it.
Also while we're at it, this city has way too many "cash only" places, including many hole in the wall hot dog places. Get out of the past fellas!

Real maple syrup has different flavor profile than maple flavored syrup. You can make them as sweet as you want. Sweetness of maple syrup can also depend on its grade of purity.
I don't recommend drinking it straight.

I never got how people could be highfalutin about what condiment you put on your cheap, processed meat. And I'm from Chicago

It might be cheap or processed but even a cheap dog is still delicious, boiled or grilled. Hot-dogs are a classic meal. I can understand the Chicago way of "No ketchup or we fuck you up", but at the same time it should available everywhere. Not just for fries.
Move immediately.
