More Chicago Condiment Action


It wouldn't be a condiment road trip to Chicago without a Chicago dog, which is all about the toppings.  According to my brain (and backed up by Wikipedia), Chicago dogs include:

  • chopped onions
  • sweet green relish
  • yellow mustard
  • dill pickle spear
  • tomato wedges
  • sport peppers
  • celery salt
The pic above was taken at America's Dogs, which featured different style dogs from cities around the U.S.  They didn't have any Jersey dogs (both Italian hot dogs and Rippers were invented in NJ)...clearly a bullshit establishment...but their Chicago dogs were excellent, so I guess it's a wash.

They also espoused some contemplative condiment wisdom on their placemats:
