Chicago Dog Sauce

[wiffleball 4,637]

Just in time for summer, Heinz is introducing Chicago dog sauce - and it's quite popular in its namesake city.

 

It's a special blend of tomatoes and seasonings that complements the flavor of the dog.

 

Chicagoans - as we all know - are purists about not allowing - gasp - ketchup - to ruin the culinary integrity of meat of indeterminate provenance shoved into tube form.

 

These are the same people who have no problem - in fact celebrate - the idea of preternaturally neon green ''relish" on their meat tubes, but ketchup? Oh hell no.

 

Enter - Chicago Dog Sauce - and it's a hit in Chicago!

 

 

 

And, it is also - ketchup.

any kind of ketchup on dogs. You allow crank in your face multiple times a day if you use it on dogs. And relish kicks ass

[Cruzer 1,992]

Ketchup on a hot dog is just focked up. Those people are missing a chromosome or something.

[TimmySmith 2,782]

Put ketchup and mustard on dogs and burgers. Combined they are a different condiment.

[Djgb13 2,338]

Throw some coleslaw on that dog

[Bert 1,089]

Ketchup on a hotdog is crazy. That said those Chicago hot dogs with all that crap on them are waaaaaaaaaaaaay over rated.

[Thornton Melon 544]

Ketchup on a cold, leftover hotdog from the fridge.....Delicious.

I don't understand the dislike of ketchup on a hot dog... What is so bad about it?

It's perfectly fine but it's become an internet meme and common practice to condemn it.

Yeah I don't get the hate either. I'd rather have mustard or chili sauce but ketchup is fine too

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

My personal gripe is that I do not like ketchup on anything. It masks the flavor of whatever it's on more than compliments it.

Hamburger BBQ on a dog is damn good.

[tanatastic 2,061]

Sometime over the last 10 years or so it became common practice to denounce ketchup on hot dogs. This is interesting for a few reasons, lets dig deeper...Growing up, it was just normal to put ketchup and/or mustard on dogs. Furthermore, google pictures of hot dogs or think of hot dog imagery. You will see Ketchup is extremely common. I could even argue it's strange to NOT put ketchup on a dog based on its common depiction if I were seeing them for the first time and doing research.

 

But here we are, mention ketchup on a dog on the internet and you will get burned at the stake like it's some uncommon and unholy practice. This is placebo from the negative attention it's gained online. I even fall victim to it, as I enjoy ketchup but tell my wife all the time "only mustard" is acceptable on hot dogs. This is my deep seeded desire to conform and do as I feel has been deemed "right".

Yep. Just like Nickelback.

[tanatastic 2,061]

Ha, I had an entire Nickelback tangent typed out but deleted it. It's exactly like that.

I put this up there with Philadelphians getting all pissy when you put mayo on a steak and cheese...

[wiffleball 4,637]

It's not just a chicago thing either. New Yorkers have historically been uber uppity about only mustard (onions or sauerkraut okay too) on dogs.

 

Basically, it's deemed that Ketchup is great - if you're a child.

 

I'm not a fan. If I'm going sweet-ish, I'd rather go with a sweet/spicy bbq sauce and hot pickles.

TP crumplers put ketchup on their hotdogs.

KETCHUP IS BAD

[ROCKFORD 134]

a study on ketchup

[wiffleball 4,637]

Best use of Ketchup is on top of a meatloaf, let it carmelize and form a crust.

 

Still, I'd rather go BBQ on that as well.

 

Just not that gross flavorless tomato sauce.

[BunnysBastatrds 1,913]

I love hot dogs but can't stand Chicago style. Chili onion and cheese.

It's only for real men and women

[wiffleball 4,637]

I've had a few chicago dogs that literally had a full quarter of a (flavorless hydopod) tomato.

I mean, how the fock do I eat that? Hell, you get smaller chunks in a salad.

I was not aware of the ketchup condemnation, but it sounds pretty silly. Also, I don't think you know what a placebo is.

I know very well what a placebo is regardless of how I used it in that post. I meant influence.

Silly to have a stupid condiment on a hot dog? I don't see the silliness

[listen2me 23 1,541]

I eat ketchup on nothing besides French Fries and maybe onion rings.

 

I like a couple different spicy mustard on hot dogs once in a while. Others things may include, but not all at once....texas hot sauce, diced onions, diced jalapenos, kraut relish, cooked peppers and onions. Actual "chili"? I'm not opposed, but maybe I never had the chili that in parts is meant for a hot dog, so I don't know.

 

Hamburger it is mustard among other items. Or a blue cheese bacon burger sort of a deal.

I always put ketchup on my hot dogs. Mustard sucks ass.

ketchup is the devil

I like melted cheese on a hot dog.

whats long and hard and full of seamen?

[KSB2424 3,082]

I like my hotdog with yellow mustard, chopped onion, chili and slaw.

 

With that said I don't get the dislike of ketchup on a hotdog either.

 

A hotdog is more like a bun with yummy condiments. The dog is just a filler.

 

A brat is a different story.

Mustard and relish... Only dogs I buy are Hebrew National.

The bolded is true.

 

But slaw and chili sounds like an express ticket to bowl-town.

Your face?

[5-Points 2,726]

Hot dogs are a type of sausage. Mustard goes better with sausage.

 

Ketchup is for burgers and/or fries.

[KSB2424 3,082]

Hotdogs taste nothing like sausage.
