"Nobody, I mean NOBODY puts ketchup on a hot dog."
 

Why Does Ketchup on a Hot Dog **** People Off? - Food News -

Well, if I ever have the pleasure of meeting Clint Eastwood, I will not put ketchup on my hot dog while he is around or can see it.

This is one security blanket though that I have not grown out of especially as I do not care all that much for mustard, chili, pickles, sauerkraut, onions, etc.

That's one of the funniest scenes in the Dirty Harry movies. I think the scene leading up to it when the other detective ask him if he was ok.

All beef hot dog
Poppyseed hot dog bun
Yellow mustard
Sweet pickle relish
Chopped onion
Tomato wedges
Dill pickle spear
Sport peppers
Dash celery salt

NO ketchup!

That's a big NO, NO, for me. I remember being a little kid and some kids wanted ketchup on their dogs. Even then, I went, ewwww!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was used to kill the taste of everything, as some put in on, their steaks. Double eeeewwwwww!!!!!!

Some thing ketchup is good for, hamburgers, french fries and potato and eggs sandwich,(potatoes used are french fries).

As one gets older, their taste buds should reflect a better idea, of what goes on certain items.

I vote no ketchup on hotdogs, ever.

I saw the article in the Daily Sun the other day. No catsup after age 18 (or something like that).

I put mustard on the bun. Then the hot dog. I prefer the Ball Park beef dogs from the grill or boiled or fried in a pan.Then I put catsup, onions, relish, baked beans and cole slaw on the top.

Always have and always will.

As far as I am concerned, there is no wrong way to eat a hotdog.

No ketchup on hotdogs. OK if you agree to nothing on grits.

I agree that there is no wrong way to eat a hot dog but would not recommend anyone but a professional eater try to chomp down any more than 4 or so. These guys are pushing in 61 or more now!!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joey_Chestnut

I did see that Villages Daily Sun article on National Hot Dog day. http://nationaldaycalendar.com/2014/...ice-cream-day/

See, Bonnie? Relish on a hot dog by a mid-westerner!:22yikes::wave:

If you grew up where Heinz had their home offices and kitchens, you might put ketchup on a hot dog. I used to, along with mustard and onions. I used to put it on hamburgers too, along with mayo.

Now I don't eat hot dogs or hamburgers.

Hey, I'm a Midwesterner too and love my relish AND KETCHUP on my hotdogs :mmmm:

Yum!:BigApplause::BigApplause:

My wife is from the Philippines. What she puts on her hot dog is what they put on almost everything in the Philippines. Ketchup and Mayonaise! Yuk!

Of course!
 

Ketchup yes! I'm from CT, we put ketchup on everything including corn on the cob!

50/50 mustard and ketchup
 

I love a mixture of half mustard and half ketchup. That along with a little onion is a wonderful combination. Try it!

We'll I just love hot dogs! Mustard and onion are my usual, but I will try almost anything. Thanks for all the ideas for new combinations. I plan to try them all!

Let us know how the ketchup/mayo combination goes! I have put that on hamburgers but never tried it on hot dogs.

It has to be Heinz Ketchup, though, and not spelled Catsup.

I like my dogs loaded; mustard, onions, relish, sour kraut, and yes Ketchup. I'm trying to keep my Adonis like build, so I forego the mayo.

Heinz, a must!
 

As much as I despise what John Kerry stands for, it HAS to be Heinz with relish, onions and mustard. And I, too am from the Midwest!

Heinz makes a really good mustard-based relish, too. Kinda hard to find.

Walmart carries it.

Good to know. This was back in the '80s, in their home town of Pittsburgh, no less.

Of course, we spent a summer in Idaho once and couldn't find an Idaho potato.

I love ketchup, but to even see someone else place ketchup on a hotdog makes me nauseous! Wouldn't like it on a baloney sandwich either! Now, I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger w/ketchup, mustard and relish on it anytime! :D

Sorry, I couldn't resist! Hope it's Heinz.

Blasphemy!

Heh-heh... Coming from a Chicago hotdog fan, would be my guess.:throwtomatoes:

I lived in Florida most of my life and Heinz had the hotdog relish (mustard and relish) and the hamburger relish (ketchup and relish). I never understood why until I moved to New Jersey and they have the mustard on hotdogs and ketchup on hamburgers phobia.

I never let it bother me. Mustard and ketchup on both!!!

I managed to get my NJ wife to eat mustard and ketchup on hamburgers but she will not eat mustard and ketchup on the hotdogs. She does not know what she is missing.

Ball Park® - So American You Can Taste It

That hot dog picture you posted looks perfect. I prefer Ball Park Angus but usually get what ever is on sale.

Looks wonderful! I'd add relish & mustard as well.

Mustard, Ketchup, and onions on both, but absolutely no Ketchup on scrambled eggs!!! Must be a northern thing.

this, plus this, and then watch out for this!

Mustard makes me sick.
Ketchup or relish works fine'

Dirty Harry is right in saying that nobody puts ketchup/catsup on a hot dog.....except my father did and my wife does. When we go to Costco, we always get a dog for lunch and she can't finish hers. I have to suffer. Hot dogs are to be dressed with either mustard and/or relish or chili. Using ketchup/catsup is just...... un-American. So take it from Harry Callahan. he's right

can you even get grits in TV?

All you have to do is ask. I always get grits with my breakfast. But a warning - some places are better than others and they always give you a bowlful - way too much for me.

Terribly off topic, but where do you like the grits for breakfast, z?

OK I was born and raised in Chicago, lived there all my life till moving here and YES I put ketchup on my hotdogs, can't stand relish but everything else is fine....LOl I have eaten them this was since the days of hot dog cart venders that came around the neighborhoods selling the best Chicago dogs ever. I don't use a lot but that's my preference and it never bothered anyone I knew both on south side and north side :)

You can even get shrimp and grits in TV.

Ketchup and Mayo is for French fries.

TooJays in Spanish Springs, Plaza in Belleview, Billy's on rt 441.

Most of the others are soupy.

Thank you!
