What does this Texas Gal know about a Chicago Dog? Plenty! I love the crazy combination of flavors on a Chicago Hot Dog. And it’s something about throwing everything but the kitchen sink on a bun just totally appeals to me. We first learned of a Chicago dog at our favorite hot dog stand and after we tried them, we had to have more. Sadly we have moved away but we really miss our Chicago Hot dog fix. And so began the search for the process of building our own.

And we are here to show you how to find and add the amazing ingredients that make this hot dog famous. You will not regret it, this Chicago style hot dog has to be tried to believe how good it is.
How to make a Chicago Hot Dog:

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 a Chicago dog 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.
After your beef wieners are steamed:
-
Place the frankfurters on the 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.
-
Sprinkle on the desired amount of chopped onion over the entire dog.
-
Place the tomato wedges on the opposite side of the frankfurter from the relish.
-
Add the peppers on the tomato wedges and the pickle spear on top of the relish.
-
Sprinkle with celery salt to taste.
So the next time you are craving a hot dog with different hot dog toppings, try making these Chicago Dogs. Also, Serve with plenty of napkins and prepare to be amazed.
