CHICAGO DOG

Some traditions you just don't mess with, and a Chicago dog is one of them. All-beef frankfurters are "dragged through the garden," meaning they're piled with a bunch of veggie condiments. Try rocking these dogs at home for your next casual buffet.

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.

CHICAGO-STYLE BURGER DOGS.



Chicago-Style Burger Dogs. image

We were at the lake for the weekend and I had planned to grill hot dogs for some Chicago-style Saturday afternoon lunch. I had all the ingredients out and prepared to go. I fired the grill up and went to get the dogs. No dogs. After getting a good-natured spousal breakdown of the attributes of a good grocery shopper, I started searching for an alternative ingredient. I was being assisted in my search by my grandson...a 7 year old who was professing his starvation symptoms and major disappointment in dog availability. We stumbled on some ground beef. Here is the result. It is now requested by my grandson any time we bring up hot dogs for lunch.

  • Don't skimp on the celery salt: Celery salt is a key ingredient in Chicago dog salad. It adds a unique flavor that can't be replicated with other ingredients.
  • Use a good quality hot dog: The hot dog is the centerpiece of your Chicago dog salad. Choose a hot dog that is made with high-quality meat and has a good snap to it.
  • Toast the bun: Toasting the bun will give it a nice, crispy texture that will hold up well to the salad.
  • Assemble the salad just before serving: Chicago dog salad is best when it is served immediately after it is assembled. This will prevent the bread from getting soggy and the salad from wilting.
