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.
Do you put mayo on your cheessteak?
There is no finer mayo than Duke’s Mayo, but not on hot dogs, french fries, or a burger. Put it on potato salads, etc. and you have a winner, but on my burger or hot dog, we be gonna’ tangle and the words will fly. Wonder how long this guy is gonna be married if he thinks his old lady should be fixin’ his food all the time? He’s in for a rude awakening, isn’t he?
For my hamburger is must have mushrooms and swiss cheese. (Hold the Mayo)
(And you're RIGHT on the condiments)
You beat me to it. Sriracha is the best condiment available to man. I’m completely addicted to it. I eat it on everything ranging from eggs to burgers to pizza.
Pick up the bottle with the rooster on it. Of course, you’ll be sweating by the time you’re done eating. Which, of course, is how you know it is good stuff!
The fat in the mayo protects the bun from the water based juices in the meat.

Burgers—Mustard
Dogs—Mustard or Pace Picante Sauce
Liberal shakes of Tabasco Chipotle Sauce on all of the above.
Really GREAT hotdogs (Max’s, Windmill) and hamburgers (Nebraska Steakhouse) need NOTHING! If you have to slather a ‘dog or burger with “stuff” to make it taste good, something’s wrong...so maybe your wife’s next birthday present should be some cooking lessons (just make sure you talk to all the divorce lawyers in town beforehand, so she can’t hire any of them)!
But IF you must slather - it’s mustard for ‘dogs, and for burgers it’s ketchup ONLY! Mixing in mustard is midwestern loopiness - like thinking that “deep dish pizza” has any resemblance to REAL pizza.
Holy hell 86 posts already?!
Oh, you are my type of person.....Chicago style all the way. Would never haven’t eaten this way until I moved to Chicago and now it is my favorite way to eat them. Chili Dog comes in second...and there is no third.
Hamburgers....MAYO, lettuce, tomato and thick raw onion slices..just like Pa taught us. ;)
Wow, I think we’ve just stumbled on dinner tonight.
“My hamburger consists of...”
Man, I hope you’ve picked a good heart surgeon. 8^)
But Toby’s dogs come with Mustard, onion and a dill pickle???
Ohh I gotta try that. I've taken to putting salsa on my hamburgers lately because had no tomatoes and figured it was a good substitute.
Hamburger: MAYO, sweet relish, onion, jalapeno.
Hot Dog: Mustard, Onion, sweet relish. OR
Hotdog relish only.
YES!!!
Duke's is the ONLY mayo for this North Carolina boy.
Similar to my favorite.
Durkees 'Famous Sauce', perfect on pumpernickel
Depends on where it's from and if it's a cheese steak hoagie or not.
I'd only use it on a cheese steak from a below average place if it was a cheese steak hoagie.
Ideally, the cheese steak should be devoured extra-wiz with and a smattering of extremely hot sauce or fried hot peppers.
... mmmmm cheese steak...

There are people who are surrounded by bigots
and know it is wrong, but are afraid to be vocal against it.
These people are going to pull the lever for Obama
and they are not being polled.

Each of you should ‘accessorize’ your own burgers and hot dogs, respecting each other’s opinions. That’s what this boils down to: allowing a difference of opinion without making a value judgment of the other person based on his or her condiment choices.
Any kind of mayonnaise on hambugers, preferably mixed with ketchup — that’s how they do it at Burger King. I prefer Hellmann’s.
Hotdogs — mustard, relish for me, but have been known to do ketchup.
I like ketchup and bologne sandwiches on white bread. MMM.
But I never insist that my husband eat anything he doesn’t want. That’s just weird. We put all the condiments on the table and pick what we like.
Trying to forget the bailouts will cost each of us $8600.00.
