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."

With most of packaged dogs either lacking any flavor or tasting like ground cardboard, anything, even John Kerry’s spouse’s gin soaked catsup, is vast improvement.
That combo never occurred to me.
However, I have been on a quest for my own iteration of a Coney Sauce. I have 2 recipes: One uses blended cheap hot dogs, the other uses Beef Heart (I think one was based on a forum discussion on Detroit’s Coneys and the other on New York; can’t recall w/o looking up my notes).
Still not sure which is best; time to make a batch of each since ya’ll got my mouth watering!
A Costco Polish dog with a line of ketchup on one side, mustard on the other, onions on top, and some Thai chilies on the side. Oh baby! We have been through this before; it is no big deal, ketchup or no, just enjoy it any way you want.
No, what I need to do is magically(?) become 20 or 30 years younger. LOL!
I don’t recall the last hot dog I had maybe decades ago. I liked them with ketchup and pickle relish and just a dab of mustard.
