Iconic Foods From Cities - Chicago Dog

First up, begin with the basics:
All-beef hot dog
Poppy seed bun
Next up, we load up on the toppings. Chicago style hot dogs are often referred to as being “dragged through the garden” because the toppings on these dogs are ridiculous. Honestly, with 4 veggies, relish, mustard, and celery salt, they’re not missing too much. I’m also a big fan of using fresh vegetables on my Chicago hot dogs, so you can believe my Chicago dogs come with vine ripe tomatoes right from my garden.
Minced white onion
Tomato slices or wedges
Dill pickle spear
Pickled sport peppers
Neon green sweet pickle relish
Yellow mustard – NO KETCHUP!
Celery salt
If you’re a Chicago dog purist, you might need to special order some poppy seed buns and pickled sport peppers, as they are not always in good supply at your local grocer. When I don’t have either of these on hand, I say fake it till you make it, baby. In a pinch, go ahead and use some pepperoncinis or pickled jalapeno on your Chicago dogs (I won’t judge).
