No Ketchup!!

We had a Chicago Dog night with the Doziers. For those who haven't studied up on hot dog history, the chicago dog is very specific and those from the Windy City are very proud of it. Not only are the ingredients strangely precise, but there are also rules about how to cut the vegetables and there is even an ORDER you have to put them all on the bun....the poppyseed bun. But no ketchup! It's "taboo" to put ketchup on a chicago dog. Here's a picture of one:

I don't think I can remember all the ingredients, but they all went together very well and you sprinkle celery salt on the top......a stroke of genius, I say. We fudged on the peppers, those are not "sport peppers" like you're supposed to have, but it was delicious anyway.....I just hope no chicago dog police see this blog.

I think Nate was the only one who could fit the thing in his mouth. They were huge, but SO SO good!
