Lucky enough, I am in Chicago!
Here are the rules for topping a hot dog:
A Chicago Style Hot Dog is more than just a Hot Dog; it's a taste sensation with the perfect blend of toppings. So, what exactly is a Chicago Dog? A Chicago Style Hot Dog is a steamed all beef Hot Dog topped with yellow mustard, bright green relish, onions, tomato wedges, pickle spear or slice, sport peppers and a dash of celery salt served in the all-important steamed poppy seed bun.
The toppings are just as important as the order they are applied to the Hot Dog. Add toppings in the following order:
1. Yellow Mustard
2. Bright "Neon" Green Relish
3. Fresh Chopped Onions
4. Two Tomato Wedges
5. A Pickle Spear or Slice
6. Two Sport Peppers
7. A Dash of Celery Salt
Remember: When adding toppings, dress the dog and not the bun!
