Another big question to divide Americans.

Sure, why not? It's just a hot dog, not prime rib. I'll do ketchup, brown mustard, raw onions or sauerkraut. There's no room to get snobby about a cheap salty meat tube.
ketchup and mustard please...
baked beans wouldn't hurt, chili dog fine as well.
oh...and the best dogs are Hebrew National...by far.

This thread reminds me that the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest was on TV yesterday. A thoroughly disgusting spectacle, that for some strange reason, I couldn't turn off. 
No ketchup was involved.

Yup! Ketchup all the way. Maybe some onions.
If it has chili or kraut and/or cheese then that's a different thing on account of being a chili dog or kraut dog.
I don't see why others have an issue with my personal choice of condiments.
No one complains about me putting Little Smokies in my tomato soup.
How is that different than catsoup catsup ketchup on a hot dog?
If you consider what goes into the makeup of the typical hotdog, it is gross enough all by itself. (I'm not talking premium dogs.)
So why should I care what anyone else thinks about what I add to that.
Take an all beef frank, in a bun, put some catsup on it.
Take an all beef patty, on a bun, put some ketchup on it.
What's the difference? The spelling.
Hawaiian Pizza - now that's just wrong.
Hawaii - one of the most wonderful places in the known universe.
Pizza - all the food groups in every bite.
But Hawaiian Pizza... eck!

First stop, Baltimore... Maybe with a side trip to Camden Yards for a Double Boog...
Failing the Baltimore trip... yellow mustard with mustard relish (preferably my grandmother's 100+ year old recipe). BBQ sauce is allowed if and only if applied on the grill. Ungrilled dogs may only have mustard and mustard relish, the only available option here would be sliced kosher dill pickles. Thinly sliced, that is.
Chili dogs are wonderful, but I respectfully submit that this is another whole food category and may need its own thread, wherein we can discuss the relative merits of home made vs. canned chili, types of cheese, beans, regional variations, inclusion of onions, spicing options, etc., etc., etc...

A little ketchup is ok. With a little mustard. Yesterday, my wife put WAY too much ketchup on mine, and I threw it the heck OUT!!!
Depends on the style of hot dog doesn't it? New York style? Just mustard. Chicago style? Alllll the proper fixins. Standard/Ballpark variety, sure, I'll throw some ketchup on there.
So I had a coupon for a free dog and toppings from the local service station. I loaded it up with chili, bacon, pulled pork, nacho cheese sauce and jalapeño peppers, all on a pretzel roll. That was a real treat!
Absolutely not. Can't stand the stuff on anything.
Give me a high-quality sausage (frankfurter, brat, kielbasa, what have you) and good sharp mustard, preferably coarse-ground.

Nothing like a hot dog that's been sitting on the roller-cooker thing all day at a gas station until it's staring to look like a Slim Jim.
I'm not a ketchup person, generally, but if a dog is offered up with ketchup/mustard/relish/onions all together, I'm fine with it - burger king recently had some like this and I thought they were good. If I'm just making myself a hotdog, though, it's generally just mustard and onions, unless of course there is chili afoot (goes with the mustard and onions, and shredded cheese, but it had better not have any [blasphemous] beans in it).
I may have mentioned in the sandwich thread, but a local place used to have a hotdog with coleslaw, swiss cheese and russian dressing; that was AMAZING.

Here in Panama, hotdogs are eaten for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, in a sweet pineapple, tomato sauce.
We are the true, albeit most southerly North Americans.
