Steps:
- Combine cornichons and liquid, onion, and peppers. Let relish sit 30 minutes, or refrigerate up to 2 hours.
- Stir together mayonnaise and mustard, and refrigerate if not using immediately.
- Slice baguettes horizontally but not all the way through so they open like a book (or a hot dog bun). Cut each baguette into pieces the same length as hot dogs.
- Heat grill to medium-high, and brush grates with oil. Grill bread, cut side down, until just lightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes, then wrap in foil to keep warm. Grill hot dogs until lightly charred on all sides and warmed through, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Spread inside of bread with mayonnaise mixture, and place a hot dog in each. Spoon relish over top.
CHICAGO-STYLE HOT DOGS
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.

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:
- Choose the right hot dogs: Look for all-beef hot dogs with a good snap. Avoid hot dogs that are too fatty or gristly.
- Grill the hot dogs over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning or drying out.
- Flip the hot dogs frequently: This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the hot dogs: Overcooked hot dogs are tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are heated through.
- Top the hot dogs with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include ketchup, mustard, relish, onions, and sauerkraut.
- Make your own pickle relish: Homemade pickle relish is easy to make and adds a delicious flavor to hot dogs.
