Recreating the Chicago Style Hot Dog of My Youth

I admit that there are hundreds of recipes for Chicago style hot dogs.  Having grown up in Chi-Town, it was not uncommon for me to buy Chicago style hot dogs in local restaurants and from any number of street vendors. The Chicago Style Hot Dog was and still is a daily part of native Chicagoans life. 

 

Now that I have been away from my hometown for decades, I have found it hard to capture the exact taste of a true Chicago style hot dog. However, I could be just more than a little bias on the subject. 

Therefore, searching my memory for what I have been missing, I have pulled together these ingredients to recreate what I believe is the closest I will come to a true Chicago Style Hot Dog.

Chicago Style Hot Dog 

Ingredients:

Large Vienna Beef Hot Dogs in their natural skins

Steamed Poppy Seed Bun/ Wheat Buns

Mustard

Diced Spanish Sweet Onions

Sweet Pickle Relish

Tomato wedges

Celery Salt or Gumbo File

Kosher Dill Pickle

Serrano Sport Peppers

Cucumber, sliced

Ketchup, If Desired

Directions:

There are four methods for cooking a Chicago Style Hot Dog.

1. Use an Old Fashioned Hot Dog Roller 
2. Deep fried hot at 375 degrees for 2 to 3 minutes, no more than that amount of time,
3. Steam it, or 
4. Grill it.

The way in which you cook it is up to you. However, a Chicago Style Hot Dog is not perfect without the above ingredients.
