My wife and I are having an argument. When she makes me a hamburger she insists on putting mayo on it. So we got into an argument over the proper condiments for hamburgers and hotdogs.
She insists on ketchup on her hotdogs. Mayo on her burgers. Mayo on hotdogs.
I believe ketchup has no business being on a dog (should be only some form of mustard) and hamburgers can get ketchup+mustard, but not mayo. Mayo is only for deli type sandwiches.
Opinions please.
“OK, ok, I’ll get rid of the red onion...”
Oh, just make sure it’s a whole wheat bun. That’ll cancel out the pound of bacon.
Knock knock
Who’s there?

Ok when I say control freak you say control freak who....
Hot dog toppings:
First choice: Chili sauce.
Second choice: A mix of catsup and French’s mustard.
I’ve never heard of that one. I’ll look for it the next time I’m buying groceries.
I even put Dijonaise on burritos and tacos.
I love pumpernickel. I’m on the Jenny Craig diet right now so I don’t get much bread. It’s one of my favorite things tho and I can’t wait ‘til I can go to Panera’s and buy one of each loaf. :)
Whatever floats your boat.
Burgers & Dogs = Chili, Mustard, Slaw, & Onions
Texas Pete on both and on the fries.
Ketchup, mustard, relish, salt & pepper is how I had ‘em from the Chefito cart in Venezuela. Of course, I’m probably lucky to be alive after having eaten 5 at a time for a couple of years...ah, the good old days...

Yes we are just disagreeing. Arguing makes a funnier post though.
Variety is the spice of life.
Anyone who eats what someone else says he is supposed to eat is a culinary fool. You eat what you like and hope that there are people out there experimenting with new combinations of ingredients that will become new things you enjoy even more.

Oh good tip! That always bugs me about the bottom bun on a burger
Defeats the purpose. The trimmings, to a certain extent, should compliment the condiments. For example, ketchup and tomatoes should never go together. Overkill. One or the other. If one fancies the taste of tomatoes (and who doesn't, besides commie pinko bastards?) then one must decide what form of tomato is appropriate for the meat selection. In light of this, ketchup on a dog is far more appropriate that tomatoes. That is not to say that ketchup is appropriate for all, nor should it indicate that mustard on a dog is somehow inferior to ketchup. Certainly not! I adore mustard. Only the aforementioned commie pinko bastards would have a problem with mustard. Of course they would. They would call it "bourgoisie" or some other frog insult and assert that mustard is some sort of threat to the proletariat. That's commies for you. I can't even imagine how anyone could turn their nose up at a dog laden with saurkraut and slathered in mustard, but I don't expect the lefties to share my good taste.
Having now given you my personal preference in dog trimmings (kraut and mustard) I must now confess that I do not always have kraut handy. When the household supply of this tasty trim has been spent, I will often find myself allowing ketchup to lay down along the mustard on my dog. The condiments compliment each other quite nicely, I find...the subtle sweetness of tomatoes with the tangy tartness of mustard...divine! Only a commie pinko bastard could find fault with that.
In the end, my friend, it's not your stomach. They are not your tastebuds. Let your loving mate choose to dress her meat selections in the manner she so desires.
Hamburgers: All is fair. Cook the meat in Dale's Sauce. Mayo, Ketchup, mustard, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, jalapenos, swiss cheese, mushrooms, bacon, and heinz 57.
I love Duke’s Mayo. I am just finishing up my first bottle. I am so glad I discovered it as my Mom used to spend so much shipping Cains to me.
I like ketchup on a burger but only if there are sauteed onions. Dogs get diced onion, any kind of mustard I have and sweet relish.
For French Fries, ketchup or Ranch dressing and lots of pepper.
Kechup picles and relish equals “special sauce” or thousand island dressing.
That’s what my first wife said. I just didn’t know that she was talking about men.
**Freeper Kitchen Ping**
I also recommend Country Bob’s sauce as a ketchup substitute.
There is only One True Condiment, suitable for both hamburgers and hotdogs and that is Mustard.
Mustard now, Mustard Only, Mustard forever.
On my burgers, I'll eat 'em with blue cheese, cheddar cheese, swiss cheese, or no cheese...and with bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, ketchup, mustard and pickles. The more crap on 'em, the better they taste!
WTH are “sport peppers”? Peppers with a stiffer suspension for tighter turns?
Peppers with athletes foot?
