Chicago-Style Hot Dog
A Chicago-style hot dog is a unique type of hot dog that originates from Chicago, Illinois. It features an all-beef frankfurter served in a poppy seed bun. This hot dog is known for its distinctive toppings, which include yellow mustard, chopped onions, sweet pickle relish, a slice of tomato, a dill pickle spear, and sport peppers.
One key aspect of the Chicago-style hot dog is that it is never topped with ketchup, as this is considered a culinary faux pas among locals. The combination of flavors and textures makes it a beloved street food in the city and beyond.
