Another big question to divide Americans.

[LowDownHawkeye]

On a brat? You need kraut and onions...and they MUST be part boiled in beer before grilling... With the onions and peppers in the beer... Yum

Agree on the boil in beer thing. The boil in onions (and maybe peppers) was called Sheboygan style by the people in west central WI when I was living there, and didn’t seem to be common around those parts. It’s good, though.

Edit: for me, the beer has to be Leinies...

For me on the other side of the border I prefer a smothering of ketchup,mustard and onions on my hot dog. Mustard on a burger seems like a concept out of a 70's low budget futuristic sci-fi B rated film.

The great horror is the vote is even close. NO ketchup!

I do not equate hot dogs with sausage. I prefer ketchup on a hot dog to that hideous yellow concoction that is passed off as mustard. If *real* mustard is available (which it only is in my refrigerator), then I’ll take that. Also good mustard for genuine sausages only.

With both mustard and horseradish, there's the pretender and the real thing.

When I was a young man I spent several months hiking around Europe. A few weeks in, I connected with a woman from Australia and we spent a couple of days together. We talked a lot about the differences between Aussies and Yanks and at one point she noted with complete disgust how Americans smother their pancakes with syrup.

"Well, what do you put on your pancakes?" I asked.

Her reply (stated as if it were the most obvious answer ever): "Ketchup!"

Casper's Hot Dogs, C St. Hayward, CA are my gold standard. (That's where I grew up). Mustard, onions and fresh tomatoes.

Leines is for drinking....

Boiling = Pabst or other "less expensive" beers....

I grew up in Milwaukee and always remembered what you called "Sheboygan style".... And I'm talking back into the 70s

Here’s a place that’s likely to be Ground Zero for this debate and ensuing blood bath. Where hot dog connoisseurs and gluttonous barbarians alike, gather to freely choose which of, if not all (yes, they will do that) of the 50+ toppings pair fondly with the American Hot Dog.

I voted NO ketchup. I also don't eat hot dogs. I'm a beer brat and/or spicy sausage kinda guy. Hot dogs and ketchup just seem like children's food to me.

I'm from southwestern VA. Never heard of a dog without ketchup until joined the military and met some folks from up north who preferred mustard only or mustard and onions.

Ketchup, mustard, onions, relish, and a little bit of diced jalapeños (correctly pronounced as Gel-lap-pen-nose) is how I roll.

some animals eat hotdog sometimes

But then there's . . . . .

OH GOD YES!!! Right after Baltimore...

 

[Sixgunn]

As long as my country is deeply divided among political, economic, racial and sexual orientation, I thought I would further help to divide us by asking the all important question.......

Do you put ketchup on your hot dog?

Kimchi hotdogs for the win!!!

 

[ariwax]

There’s nothing wrong with ketchup on your hot dog, if you’re six.

Cleveland is now on the list, after Baltimore and New Jersey...

locally a good commercial burger is a lota burger, green Chile, cheese, tomatoes, iceberg, onion, and mustard.
You can also get dogs your way.
Also locally is the "dog house,", background on a couple of breaking bad scenes.
Again, locally, is a twisters which transformed in a "dos hermanos," not sure if you can get dogs but, you can get burgers.
