Which pwns the other?

[Gamecube64]

Hot Dogs are the products of the parts of cows, pigs, and chickens that people don't want to eat, along with whatever else falls into the grinder for good measure.

Clearly the hamburger wins. A REAL sausage, like bratwurst, would give it some stiff competition though.

Not to my taste, but a "Chicago-style hot dog – as served in the U.S. city of Chicago, Illinois and its surrounding suburbs – is a steamed or boiled all-beef, natural-casing hot dog on a poppy seed bun. It is topped with mustard, onion, sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices or wedges, sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt; but not ketchup."

Coney dog (chili, onions & mustard onna hot dog)

chicago style is the best.

Burgers and it's not even close. I'd take a BLT over a hot dog.

Chicago hot dogs > hamburgers > hot dogs

Tough decision, but hamburgers pwn the hot dogs.

what is a chicago hot dog?

[Rufus T. Firefly]

A Chicago-style hot dog– as served in the U.S. city of Chicago, Illinois and its surrounding suburbs– is a steamed or boiled all-beef, natural-casing hot dog on a poppy seed bun. It is topped with mustard, onion, sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices or wedges, sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt; but not ketchup.

History and more detailed information

The style, once known as a "Depression sandwich," is generally acknowledged as having originated at Fluky's, a well-known Maxwell Street stand, in 1929.

Chicago-style hot dogs are boiled or steamed to a temperature above 170 degrees Fahrenheit (~77 degrees Celsius) before adding the toppings. They can also be grilled, though these are referred to as "chardogs" in Chicagoland. The natural casing of the hot dogs give them their distinctive "snap." The most common dog weighs 1/8 lb. and is made with Vienna Beef.

Chicago-style hot dogs with all the toppings are sometimes called "dragged through the garden" because of the unique combination of condiments. Chicagoans traditionally shun ketchup because of the belief that ketchup, unlike other condiments, overwhelms the flavor of the dog itself.

Some Chicago restaurants choose to associate their publicity solely with the hot dog, even though they serve many other items, including the Maxwell Street Polish, gyros, Italian beef, pork chop sandwiches. The Chicago-style hot dog is ubiquitous so publicity gimmicks are often needed to attract customers to a restaurant. One of these gimmicks is Superdawg's two giant hot dogs (Maurie and Flaurie) on the roof of their building.

There's your technical answer, but it doesn't begin to describe the uniquely insane goodness of the dogs. Superdawg's is great, and close to where I grew up, but every true Chicagoan has his own favorite dog stand. Mine is the truly awesome Poochie's in Skokie, IL.

sounds good. I'd like to try one. I like ketchup, but it sounds good without it.

Ketchup on a hot dog?

I like my hotdogs with mustard and onions. I also like chili cheese dogs or coney dogs. I'm not fond of the "everything in it" Chicago dogs (no need for sweet relish on a dog)
