NOMINATED AS ONE OF CHICAGO’S WONDERS: Chicago Hot Dogs :

Not much in this world is perfect.

The Chicago Hot Dog is perfect.

Boiled or steamed, not grilled, it lies regally in a lightly steamed poppy-seed bun and is anointed with:

  • Diced onion
  • Tomato wedges
  • Pickle relish the color of Kryptonite
  • Yellow mustard
  • A few sport peppers
  • A dill pickle spear
  • A shake of celery salt

There’s your classic Chicago-style dog, a perfect teaming of tastes and colors and textures.

Boiled or steamed, not grilled, it lies regally in a lightly steamed poppy-seed bun and is anointed with:

We don’t have to mention, no ketchup! None! Ever! Do we?

Pretty good, but remove the radioactive relish and substitute a good brown mustard for the yellow, and it would be a bit closer to perfection for me (yes, I know I might get flack from Chicagoans for messing with “perfection”).
