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 matter—enough lives have been destroyed."

Try horseradish.
I hear that. The older I get the fewer condiments my stomach can tolerate. ;-)
Even better is Mango Salsa.

Ketchup = Navy Gravy. Heh.

No everybody likes mustard.
In my later years, I’ve grown very fond of the mustard seed and all varieties. Peppers, too.
However, every once in a while I crave a boiled hot dog on a steamed white bun with ketchup, mustard, onions & DILL relish...just like our coach bought the whole team after our Little League games when we won.
Takes me back...
But never ketchup on a sausage. NEVER!!!
I agree, never put ketchup on any thing! Put Catchup on everything.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm, adding that to my “try it list”, too. Thanks.
And fries!
That’s crazy talk!
Onions, relish, chili, cheese, mustard or sometimes just fried with barbeque sauce. Outside over an open fire mustard is all I need. But I always keep plenty on Ketchup for the grandkids.
Do your body a favor. Throw away the hot dog and eat the ketchup.
HTB says : mind your own beeswax.
I only eat 3 or 4 hot dogs a year and I will eat them any way I choose.
I wasn’t hungry until I started reading this thread.
