A steamed or boiled, kosher-style beef wiener, the Chicago hot dog comes served on a poppyseed-studded bun and piled with a unique set of toppings, typically yellow mustard, neon-green sweet-pickle relish or “piccalilli,” chopped onions, fresh tomatoes, dill-pickle spears, pickled sport peppers and a dash of celery salt. The complete assembly is sometimes called “dragging it through the garden,” but more usually, “the works.”

- Remove the hot wiener from the cooker, shaking off the water and place into the bun.
- Don’t leave the hot dog in the water too long — it will lose flavor and snap.
- Add the condiments in the order listed.
- Always dress the hot dog, not the bun.
And NEVER add ketchup!!!
