Nuthin' compares to a true Chicago Dog with dayglo-green relish

Having lived in Chicago, and still being within the Chicago Hot Dog zone (Rockford, IL), I must strenuously disagree.

1. Vienna Beef Hot Dogs (preferred brand) are marginal.
2. The hot dogs are typically steamed, which does not bring out the flavor as well as grilling.
3. As your picture shows, the most popular Chicago style hot dog does everything you can to make you forget that there is any meat in the darn thing.
In your sample, there are diced onions, relish, jalapeno peppers, sliced tomatoes, vertically sliced pickles, mustard, and I am sure celery salt all on top of a pathetic little 2 1/2 oz frank. I like the meat. The salad I can have on the side. Hot dogs (unless they be topped with bacon or are on an extra-toasty bun) shouldn't crunch.
4. The poppy seed buns are actually pretty good. But again, those buns (S. Rosen a favorite brand) are thicker and denser, and tend to hide the poor pathetic frank.
