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."

Mustard and sauerkraut...and only brown mustard,not that yellow crud.
Me,too. I also like to put cheese in them.
I love Tabasco Sauce. I’ve never put it on a hot dog though.
What? No Guacamole?!?!?!
I used to eat 'slaw dogs' from the Dairy Queen (or was it Tastee Freeze?) in Hinesville,Ga (outside of Ft. Stewart) back in the Ranger days. Never seen them anywhere else.
LOL. I love this movie.
gotta have kraut and pickle!
Mustard purist here. ONLY mustard. I don’t know what ever possessed humanity to put anything else on a frankfurter.
The best!
Nobody but a commanist udput that nasty red stuff on one of God’s Hot Dogs. Wat’s nex, mayo on french fries?
I can do without ketchup period but it’s especially nasty on a hot dog. Mixed in with onion, pickle and cheese on a burger I dont mind.
God I love me a good chili-cheese and onion dog. Its been a while. Must say Ive never heard of cole slaw on one though! Doesn’t sound bad...
I was about to list chili as my favorite hot-dog topping until I saw that pulled pork was on the list.
How could I have not thought of that before?!
I know what's for dinner tomorrow.
Haha that’s funny, what do they care how you eat your hotdog, you paid for it:)
My brother did that when he was young. The thought makes me nauseous. Then again, my stomach is already queasy, has been off and on for a couple days. I’m thinking the nicotine gum is getting to me after 7 years of use. Anyways, yeah. Egg salad sandwich is one of my favorite things to eat, hold the ketchup!
I miss them (I'm now living in Davao City, Philippines)! I have tried to duplicate it, but they have a balance (or some other ingredient) I haven't found yet!
I miss What-a-burger. So good... and this is weird but I like their salads.
I was very happy to find out that in Texas the standard hot hamburger sandwich comes with mustard on it. I don’t know why it is, but I don’t really like ketchup.
I tried mayo on fries, and it wasn’t bad at all.
“Ya,know,i can handle the rapes, the muggings and the murders. but ya know what really makes me sick???
watchin you stuff your face with those hot dogs..
nobody, and i mean nobody, puts ketchup on a hot dog..”
Inspector Harry Callahan... :)
mayo’s ok on a taco, but never a hot dog.
