Have a taste for a Chicago style hot dog and if you’re not in Chicago, no sweat!
To make your own Chicago style dog is fun and quick. Cousin Vinnie will tell you everything you need to know to make an original Chicago Dog at home. You will be shown how to properly make your Dog in true Chicago style.
Grabin’ the right ingredients makes all da difference.
To make your dog truly “Chicago style”, it is important to start with the right ingredients.
The dog itself.
A Chicago Style Hot Dog is all beef and contains no fillers. I enjoy Vienna!
When you picture the perfect Chicago dog it should have a nice slathering of mustard, just like at Grandma’s house. Good news there’s only a trace of fat in a teaspoon of yellow mustard.
A classic Chicago Dog will have a pickle spear. The pickle you choose should compliment, but not run the friggen show! A lot of people put spicy pickle on their Hot Dog, but that is not Chicago! The pickle should have a nice crunch and the seasoning should be mild.
A nice white onion with a nice clean chop about 1/2″ each chop.
If you chop your tomatoes, cousin Vinnie will come by and give ya a talkin to. Wedges baby, that is how it’s done in Chicago, period! The sport peppers should be about an inch long and have enough heat to kick ya in da rear end. There’s usually two peppers on each dog.
You have to use da celery salt , it is a key and an important ingredient.
Genuine Chicago Style Hot Dogs are traditionally served on a steamed poppy seed bun. If you can not find a packaged poppy seed bun you can usually special order poppy seed Hot Dog buns at grocery stores that have their own bakery. In the Chicago area, poppy seed buns are available at most grocery stores including Jewel or Dominick’s. So far I like Turano Bakery brand, some of the best buns I had.
