CHICAGO-STYLE HOT DOGS
A long-time family favorite. The authentic stands use Vienna Beef franks and buns with poppy seeds and that trademark green relish and yellow mustard. If you're not fortunate enough to live near a stand (like us), this home version does nicely (with my own preferred changes of course)! The natural casing frankfurters have a pleasant "pop" when you bite them and are far superior to normal hot dogs. I don't advise using serranos in place of sport peppers as they are not the same type of chile and the serranos are MUCH hotter (as well as not usually being found pickled).

Steps:
- Simmer frankfurters in beer or water for approximately 10 minutes.
- Warm buns in microwave, until slightly warm and soft.
- To assemble hot dogs, place frank in each bun.
- Add mustard to taste; top with dill spear, relish, onion, tomato, and 1-2 sport peppers (Jalapenos"might" be a reasonable substitute if you are desperate to find the sport peppers, but the taste won't be quite the same).
- Sprinkle with celery and poppy seeds.
- Serve.

Steps:
- In deep skillet over medium-high heat, combine beer and hot dogs; cover.
- Bring to simmer; reduce heat to medium.
- Cook until hot dogs are cooked through, 8-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix next 3 ingredients.
- Fill each bun with tomato slices, hot dog, mustard sauce, pickle, onion and peppers.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your hot dog will taste. This means using fresh, never-frozen beef, a good quality poppy seed bun, and fresh toppings.
- Cook your hot dogs properly. Hot dogs can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most popular methods are grilling, boiling, and frying. No matter which method you choose, make sure to cook the hot dogs until they are heated through.
- Don't overload your hot dog. A Chicago-style hot dog is all about balance. Don't pile on so many toppings that you can't taste the hot dog itself.
- Serve your hot dog immediately. Chicago-style hot dogs are best served hot off the grill or out of the pot. If you have to wait to serve them, keep them warm in a bun warmer or on a low setting in the oven.
Conclusion:
The Chicago-style hot dog is a unique and delicious sandwich that is enjoyed by people all over the world. If you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy your next hot dog, give the Chicago-style a try. You won't be disappointed!
