A great Chicago dog is usually steamed but some do grill the wieners. We prefer them steamed and it’s easy using a Hot Dog Steamer. But the hardest part building it is to find poppyseed buns but thank goodness they can be ordered via our Amazon Link Poppy Seed Buns. In fact, Amazon sells an entire Chicago Hot Dog kit that includes the poppy seed buns and the natural casings beef wieners. And you need to have an all-beef wiener that produces the snap sound as one bite into them.
What’s in a Chicago Hot Dog:
Ingredients:
- All Beef Frankfurters with natural casings
- Poppy seed hot dog buns

How to Make a Chicago Hot Dog:
After your beef wieners are steamed:

Steam or heat up the beef wieners. Then place them on the poppyseed bun, add the mustard in a zigzag pattern (no reason, I just like the way it looks).
-
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of relish along one side of the frankfurter.

Place the tomato wedges on the opposite side of the frankfurter from the relish.
