CHICAGO-STYLE HOT DOGS



Chicago-Style Hot Dogs image

Often described as "dragged through the garden" - referring to all of the vegetable toppings - this hot dog is a joy to eat in honor of the Windy City. A proper Chicago dog is an all-beef frankfurter (such as Vienna Beef) in a poppy seed bun, topped with yellow mustard, neon-green sweet pickle relish, chopped white onion, tomato slices, a dill pickle spear, pickled sport peppers and celery salt. This stovetop recipe is very forgiving, and there are ways to adapt: No poppy seed buns? Just sprinkle a pinch of loose poppy seeds over regular hot dog buns slathered in melted butter. No neon-green sweet relish? Stir a drop or two of green food coloring into regular sweet relish. If you can't find Chicago-style sport peppers, then sliced pepperoncini works in a pinch. Don't skip the celery salt; its herbal lightness makes these dogs shine.

Categories     sausages, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 split poppy seed hot dog buns
4 all-beef hot dogs, preferably bun-length
Yellow mustard
1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
1 small white onion, small-diced
1 small tomato, halved and thickly sliced lengthwise
4 dill pickle spears
4 to 8 sport peppers
Celery salt

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Without splitting them in half completely, gently flatten the hot dog buns and place them seam-side up in the pan. Move them around to catch all the melted butter and cook until very lightly toasted at the edges, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove the buns and set aside.
  • Raise the heat to medium-high and add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the pan. When the butter is melted, add the hot dogs and cook, rolling occasionally until all sides are browned and looking crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. (See Tip if grilling.)
  • Place the cooked dogs in the buns and top each with as much yellow mustard, relish and onion as you like. On one side of each dog, place a couple of tomato slices; on the other side, place a single pickle spear. Top with as many sport peppers as you can handle. Generously season with the celery salt and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the hot dog will be. Look for fresh, flavorful tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions for the relish, and use a good-quality hot dog bun.
  • Make the relish ahead of time: The relish can be made up to a week in advance, so you can have it on hand whenever you want a Chicago-style hot dog. Just store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Toast the bun: Toasting the bun gives it a nice, crispy texture that complements the hot dog perfectly.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make a Chicago-style hot dog. Feel free to add or omit toppings to suit your own taste.

Conclusion:

The Chicago-style hot dog is a delicious and iconic sandwich that is enjoyed by people all over the world. With its unique combination of flavors and textures, it's no wonder that this hot dog has become so popular. If you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy hot dogs, be sure to give the Chicago-style hot dog a try.
