Chicago hot dog
Neon-green relish dog
A Chicago hot dog is a specific style of hot dog originating in Chicago, served on a poppy seed bun with yellow mustard, chopped white onions, bright green sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices, sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt.
The defining rule: no ketchup.
You want ketchup on that? This is Chicago—we don't do that here.
