Does ketchup go on hotdogs

Was in NY and decided I'd eat a hotdog stand hotdog. Guy asks what I wanted on it. Told him whatever was supposed to be on it. He asked if I wanted ketchup. Said whatever you think.

I hate ketchup.

Dude thought I'd want that shit cause I obviously didn't belong there.

Think we both squinted eyes like we were going to throwdown.

I ate most of the shitty hotdog.
 
Yss. I mostly only eat regular hot dogs as chilli cheese dogs and the ketchup goes well. I also eat johnsville better cheddar dogs(?) with cheddar, honey mustard, and ketchup. The only time I eat plain hot dogs is when they're cooked over a fire and I put just ketchup on them.
 
Personally, I can take it or leave it. After a lifetime of working construction with guy's living on the road, from all over America. I have seen those little, tear open packages of ketchup, mayo, Taco sauce, mustard come out of a lunch bucket and put on every food imaginable. Condiments know no boundaries and there are no food police in the construction world.
But, that is a great question.

Anyone that would put mayo on a hotdog, burger or sandwich should be hanged. But I'll dip artichoke and other veggies in it.
I will eat it on a sandwich but nothing at all meant to be eaten warm.

A turkey sandwich made the day after Thanksgiving with some left over deep fried turkey... oh yeah. But never on a hot dog or a hamburger.

What do you put on a burger then? I put extra mayo on sandwiches and burgers. Both pieces of bread and thick. Dukes mayo is the best.
 
Hot dogs get ; chili , cheese , relish ,mustard and French's French Fries Onions .
Burgers get either mayo and ketchup or BBQ sauce .
I love food threads . People come together , some dog in their heels , one of the last vestiges of agree to disagree . Very American .
 
Hell, gents, you paid for it. As long as you don't eat it disgustingly--like a nine-month-old in a highchair--put whatever you want on it. Or when in Rome.... Chicago dogs are unique. New York dogs the same. As the Aussies are wont to say...at least the few I've met...each cat to his own rat.
 
I think it was about a year ago I tossed an unopened bottle of ketchup that was over 2 years beyond its sell-by date.

Last time I probably ate a hot-dog was when I heated some for my daughter's birthday party probably around 20 years ago. I do like brats, however.
 
A true "Loaded" hot dog can have a tiny amount of ketchup on it. A tiny amount. But must be vastly over powered by onions, relish, cheap yellow mustard, kraut, chili, etc. Ketchup must NEVER be the primary hot-dog garnish. It's sort of ghey.

And when I say yellow mustard... a hot dog must be swimming in mustard! It's a religion.

Ketchup and mustard with onions.
One of the most disgusting things on this planet is pickle relish.
I automatically think less of folks that put ketchup on steak. Those that use "steak sauce" are only slightly less revolting.

Hell Yes! +sweet relish and a little mustard. Sometimes, a little chili & cheese. One reason i love fries is they're a perfect ketchup delivery vehicle.
 
if your 12 and no one ever showed you any difference yes taste wise it's the difference between Sauteing onions and dumping salt on . Grilling a hot dog vrs boiling one you can change the taste of your food to your liking using anything you want to if tomato ketchup is your thing then enjoy it .. .

A real hot dog gets mustard, grilled onions, Carolina style hot dog chili, and maybe some slaw. The only real hot dog is made by Carolina Packers under Bright Leaf label, in Smithfield NC.
All them other pale ass weiners are just "franks" or weiners. Thats a good name for them too.
You need some ketchup on those shitty things. The more shit you can pile around them the better. One step above a damn Vienna sausage.
 
As a hot dog aficionado and lover of the classic Chicago Dog, ketchup on a hot dog is disgusting. The places I have purchased Chicago Dogs (some of them) do not have ketchup available and if you ask for it they will refuse to serve you and send you down the street to grab a ketchup packet at a local fast food place.

IMO, no ketchup on 'Dogs. Not ever. Never.

VooDoo
