Chicago dog
Midwestern poppy frank
A Chicago dog is a hot dog prepared in a specific style originating from Chicago, characterized by an all-beef frankfurter in a poppy seed bun topped with yellow mustard, chopped white onions, bright green sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices, pickled sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt.
Notably, ketchup is considered a violation of Chicago hot dog tradition.
I ordered a Chicago dog with extra sport peppers.
