Today the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council launched a bracket to determine the Official Hot Dog Condiment Champion. Their bracket separates wet and dry condiments, but in the end there will only be one winner of these 16 competitors: sauerkraut, ketchup, mustard, cole slaw, chili, BBQ sauce, mayonnaise, onions, cheese, tomatoes, sweet peppers, hot peppers, bacon, pickles and pulled pork.
John Del Signore refuses to even dignify this "competition" with a comment, but has firmly declared his anti-ketchup stance during some casual office talk. Yakas took his silence as an opportunity to take one last swing for ketchup, however: "It's just like mustard defenders to disappear conveniently right when the harsh light of injustice is shined upon their faces."
Update: Del Signore has issued this statement: "At a very young age my younger brother fell prey to the sick and twisted subculture of ketchup-on-hot dogs. My family tried everything to help him pull his life together, but nothing worked, and in the end our only resort was tough love. He now lives in isolation deep in south Brooklyn, and we barely speak. Soiling hot dogs with ketchup is a perverse abomination, and one that I find difficult to discuss, for obvious personal reasons. I will have no further comment on this matter—enough lives have been destroyed."

Dirty Harry said this years ago and I agree
I am going to toss wieners in the oven
Raised in Chicago I took “everything but ketchup” to heart, I never use the stuff on anything. Just don’t like it, too sweet.
Ketchup, mustard, relish, and saurkrauten.
or chili, either is good.
Every American knows that only Mustard,Onions, and Relish are allowed on hot dogs. Duh.
Usually I choose Carolina style; chili, mustard, onions, and slaw.
Dark, spicy mustard and chopped onions.
ketchup here
Mmmmmmmmmmmm, adding that to my “try it list”, also. Thanks!
I don’t know what I was thinking, but one day I put peanut butter on a boiled hot dog and it was dee-lish!
Apparently he has his fingers in everything.
Potato salad, mustard, and extra onion. :-)
Wait I forgot sauerkraut and horseradish mustard, but usually go to Andouille or polish sausage for that.
That said, sweet relish has it's place. A good chili dog is nice. You can melt American Cheese on it.
Any this is America, so if you want to put “Red” ketchup, and give money to the Heinz family,this is the 21st Century. America's got room for communists. It's OK.
All kidding aside, I'm set to got to NYC in a few weeks for a day (personal). I worked in NYC for six months straight. Left. Was back after 9/11, a day or two a week, for 6 months or so. Haven't been to Manhattan in 10 years. When I was there, kebab stands were starting out. Random pizza slices were the best pizza in the country. Hot dogs were everywhere. Coffee stands. roasted nuts. The hands down best street food was Knish.
Knish. I was there with a woman (long story...actually a friend of my wife) from California, and I was sort of obsessing over Kinish. She got annoyed, as the people I hang out with are wont to do. Finally, a block from Battery Park, I find a guy selling Knish. “Two with MUSTARD”. I give her one. I got email, part of every phone call, for months, asked about Knish.
Knish, with mustard...best NYC street food. No doubt.
they’ll nevr ban the word “bitchy”. it’s far too accurate when used correctly.
Mustard, onions and coney sauce (not chili) on a grilled dog in a steamed bun.
seriously you just need digestive enzymes and probiotics and it should get better.
often in Chi-beria I got indoctrinated into “sport” peppers on dogs.
