If a veggie burger is not your style and the grill is still hot, try this Midwest classic. A Chicago Style hot dog has to include all of the ingredients below and only those ingredients listed here....so no ketchup!! The bun should be steamed however, I toasted this one and it tasted pretty close to what you'd find at any hot dog stand in the Windy City. By the way, my favorite is the Wiener Circle at 2622 North Clark, Chicago, Illinois for the food and dining experience.
Ingredients:
- all-beef hot dog, preferably Vienna Beef brand
- poppy seed hot dog bun, steamed or toasted
- mustard, yellow
- onion, diced
- sweet pickle relish (dyed green) - this is called nuclear relish
- dill pickle spear
- tomato slices
- pickled sport peppers
- celery salt
Preparation:
- Allow coals of the grill to get really hot.
- Toast hot dog buns on grill for about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Arrange hot dogs on grill around the hottest spot.
- After about 5 minutes, turn the dogs.
- Remove from grill and garnish the dogs like the one in the photo.
- Serve hot.
