The National Hot Dog Council Says Never Use Ketchup On Hot Dogs
Gothamist ^ | 03-14-2014 | Jen Carlson

Posted on 03/14/2014 6:52:54 PM PDT by PaulCruz2016

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."

Raised in Chicago I took “everything but ketchup” to heart, I never use the stuff on anything. Just don’t like it, too sweet.

Usually I choose Carolina style; chili, mustard, onions, and slaw.

It’s bad enough that my wife puts ketchup on her hotdogs she also puts it on her steak! It’s an addiction.

Personally I have fallen in "like" with ketchup in my later years. I love ketchup on scrambled eggs/omlettes. I can't imagine a hotdog without ketchup (although mustard and relish are key too).

Ketchup is like a good scotch though...you have to adapt to your brand. For me it's Heinz (yes I know...horrors), but they make a good ketchup. I relax my political views when it comes to condiments.

I don’t know what I was thinking, but one day I put peanut butter on a boiled hot dog and it was dee-lish!

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

Wait I forgot sauerkraut and horseradish mustard, but usually go to Andouille or polish sausage for that.

I am assuming the publication is from NYC. An NYC hot dog, which I consider the be the best hot dog (just sitting in water all day at petri dish temperature) is a dog with mustard and maybe sourkraut. I love sour kraut, so that goes on hot dogs, and kielbasa (or kiebasi/kievasa). A nice Spicy brown mustard is good. Kosciusko (sp?) is best.

That said, sweet relish has it's place. A good chili dog is nice. You can melt American Cheese on it.

Any this is America, so if you want to put “Red” ketchup, and give money to the Heinz family,this is the 21st Century. America's got room for communists. It's OK.

All kidding aside, I'm set to got to NYC in a few weeks for a day (personal). I worked in NYC for six months straight. Left. Was back after 9/11, a day or two a week, for 6 months or so. Haven't been to Manhattan in 10 years. When I was there, kebab stands were starting out. Random pizza slices were the best pizza in the country. Hot dogs were everywhere. Coffee stands. roasted nuts. The hands down best street food was Knish.

Knish. I was there with a woman (long story...actually a friend of my wife) from California, and I was sort of obsessing over Kinish. She got annoyed, as the people I hang out with are wont to do. Finally, a block from Battery Park, I find a guy selling Knish. “Two with MUSTARD”. I give her one. I got email, part of every phone call, for months, asked about Knish.

Knish, with mustard...best NYC street food. No doubt.

Mustard, onions and coney sauce (not chili) on a grilled dog in a steamed bun.
