Don't put ketchup on hot dogs!

[GagHalfrunt]

and those people are wrong too

You keep telling yourself that.

Yeah, we'll, that's the left coast. He was probably more upset they weren't certified organic, cruelty free fries. ^_^

Oh, you like Guantanamo Fries!

Two totally different things. A well cooled steak shouldn't need anything else to make it taste better. A hot dog is made for toppings. You can easily pay $50 for a decent steak, I'm sure no one is paying that for a hot dog.

Somewhere there's a restaurant that is making a dog out of dry aged Waygu or some other pretentious meat like that, tropping it with truffles and selling it for $100. And probably there's an idiot ordering it and putting ketchup on it. Of course, anyone ordering it is an idiot to begin with, so adding ketchup is to be expected.

I agree with your premise though, hot dogs are a delivery mechanism for the toppings. It's not about the dog itself, although I like a nice 'bite' on the skin. It's all about what goes on the dog. And if you're topping a dog with ketchup, why even eat the dog at all? It's just a wasted opportunity to turn something otherwise bland into something that could be made tasty.

Shit. 7 pages about what you can and can't put on a hot dog, yet I'd bet 99% of you are eating them on an incorrectly cut, side-split hot dog bun. Fuckin' people don't understand top split.

There wasn't any of that, but she definitely castigated us on how awesome canuckistan was and how overrated the US was, which was met with a hefty dose of cliched socal apathy

Did ya call him a Moran, or did he just RUNNOFT?

I eat for me, not for anyone else. Go take a hike.

I think what we've all learned is that hipsters hate Heinz.

If I can't have a chili&chese dog, it's ketchup and relish. All the haters can suck it and that bright yellow american mustard crap is disgusting.

The "National Hot Dog & Sausage Council" can go suck a dog, I'll put ketchup on whatever I damn well want to.

Just heard on the radio this morning, the topic of discussion was hot dogs. The host said she loves hotdogs with mayo. <vomit>

 

[nakedfrog]

Ketchup is the work of food Satan. If you put ketchup on something, remember, you're basically putting on Satans ejaculate onto your food.

I love Satan. Why, I'd take it straight from the tap if I could! :awe:

Mayo and Ketchup go together pretty well, though admittedly I've never actually had it with a hotdog, only burgers.

 

[smackababy]

Mayo isn't generally recommended for hot sandwiches I thought. Eh, I dip my fries in, but other than that I very much dislike it.

Ketchup is still awful. It is sugary tomato paste made for bad parents who can't get their kids to each shit. If you are still eating it past age 6, you are a moron.

 

[MrSquished]

i tried the applegate farms hot dogs the other week. they have some seriously good flavor. and all natural. if you can find 'em they are worth a shot if you like dogs.

 

[OutHouse]

Ketchup and mayo and a slice of cheese is my dog toppings.

Dunking a grilled cheese sammichin ketchup is very tasty.

If you're 5. There is no reason to have a sugary condiment on anything. But, I suppose this is America; land of the hooked on sugar, who gives a shit about diabetes, freedom place!

 

[Adul]

Sonoran Dogs have no ketchup either. But damn are they ever freaking good.

 

[KeithTalent]

^^ What the heck is jalapeno sauce?

I like wasabi mayo on a dog.

How about barbecue sauce, o' glorious lord of gustatory guidance?

Screw sweet BBQ sauce. Savory sauce all the way.

And even then, bbq sauce in smaller amounts and in limited places. I don't like BBQ sauce on my pulled pork, it detracts from the flavor.

Pretty much this. BBQ sauce is okay using ketchup, as the other flavors mild out the sweetness, unless you're adding in a ton of brown sugar to make it disgusting. Vinegar is something not used nearly as often as it should be in the kitchen IMO. Acidity is lacking in pretty much every dish. =(

 

[Superself]

Is it faux pas to put two hot dogs side by side in the same bun?

Not in New Jersey.....Italian Hot Dog

I doubt ketchup is the problem. Your high horse would probably enjoy a sugar cube though.
