The National Hot Dog Council Says Never Use Ketchup On Hot Dogs

Today the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council launched a bracket to determine the Official Hot Dog Condiment Champion. Their bracket separates wet and dry condiments, but in the end there will only be one winner of these 16 competitors: sauerkraut, ketchup, mustard, cole slaw, chili, BBQ sauce, mayonnaise, onions, cheese, tomatoes, sweet peppers, hot peppers, bacon, pickles and pulled pork.
John Del Signore refuses to even dignify this "competition" with a comment, but has firmly declared his anti-ketchup stance during some casual office talk. Yakas took his silence as an opportunity to take one last swing for ketchup, however: "It's just like mustard defenders to disappear conveniently right when the harsh light of injustice is shined upon their faces."
Update: Del Signore has issued this statement: "At a very young age my younger brother fell prey to the sick and twisted subculture of ketchup-on-hot dogs. My family tried everything to help him pull his life together, but nothing worked, and in the end our only resort was tough love. He now lives in isolation deep in south Brooklyn, and we barely speak. Soiling hot dogs with ketchup is a perverse abomination, and one that I find difficult to discuss, for obvious personal reasons. I will have no further comment on this matterenough lives have been destroyed."

Its bad enough that my wife puts ketchup on her hotdogs she also puts it on her steak! Its an addiction.This answers my first question, as why your signature is "Crazy"horse691.. Tolerating such a culinary desecration could/would/should, cause depression/repression/recrimination.. Other than that, all I can say, as a Master Chef, from Chicago, the world capital of the Hot Dog is;.. words escape me.. :)

Burly Detective: What do ya think, a gang hit, screwed-up drug score, unlucky John, or an unhappy love affair? Huh? Don't tell me this sh!t's gettin' to ya. Not Harry Callahan. Say it ain't so.
Harry Callahan: No, this stuff isn't gettin' to me. The shootings, the knifings, the beatings, old ladies being bashed in the head for their Social Security checks, teachers being thrown out of a fourth-floor window because they don't give As, that doesn't bother me a bit.
Burly Detective: Come on, Harry. Take it easy.
Harry Callahan: Or this job, either. Having to wade through the scum of this city, being swept away by bigger and bigger waves of corruption, apathy and red tape. Nah, that doesn't bother me. But you know what does bother me?
Burly Detective: What?
Harry Callahan: You know what makes me really sick to my stomach?
Burly Detective: What?
Harry Callahan: Is watching you stuff your face with those hot dogs. Nobody, I mean NOBODY puts ketchup on a hot dog.

I don’t mind ketchup on my hot dogs. Sometimes I put it on and sometimes I don’t. Mostly use it when I’m not having it on a bun. I always put on mustard. Sometimes relish, onions, and/or cheese. BBQ sauce if cooked down some so it is thicker. I hate mayo or anything spicy so that is never on my menu.
Thousand Island salad dressing wasn’t too bad on a hot dog when I ran out of mustard.
My rules for hot dogs.
NO BOILING!! — smells nasty and stinks up the house for hours. Right up there with bananas, canned spinach, and most melons that make me sick to even smell them.
100% beef or beef/pork- no damn chicken or turkey.

When I was a kid, some of the other kids would make peanut butter and bologna sandwiches. At the time I thought 'Yuk', but I guess it might have stuck.
Skippy or Jif used to make peanut butter with real bacon bits in it. And my mom used to make us toasted peanut butter and bacon sandwiches, which isn't that far off from peanut butter and hot dogs.

Even on burgers, ketchup seems a waste. It's like putting steak sauce on a good steak in my mind.
We have a burger place out here called The Counter that grinds the burgers to order from beef that would normally be served as steak.
To cook the burger any more than medium rare or to cover it with ketchup would be a culinary sin.

DAMN FOODIES! The Hot Dog Council has much bigger things to worry about than mere ketchup.

I sometimes put coleslaw on my pulled pork sandwich. It’s common in the south.
As for a hot dog, mustard, dill relish and onions.
