Let me start by apologizing for the lack of posting the past few days. Midterm crunch is keeping me busy. It's times like this (when I'm stressed, and it is freezing cold) that I start missing home a bit. So, this recipe is to bring a little bit of home to all of those who live in Chi-town. (Plus, who doesn't like hot dogs?) A little bit of a warning: the Chicago style hot dog is not the kind of dog you would regularly get (unless, of course, you're from Chicago), so you need to be open-minded and prepare yourself for a new kind of hot dog. Here we go:
You will need:
A hot dog
A bun
Onions
Sauerkraut
Relish
Mustard
A Pickle
Tomatoes
For the sake of full disclosure, an actual Chicago dog would also have sport peppers on it, but we don't have any of those, and neither jalapenos nor banana peppers are comparable in flavor. A true Chicago dog would also have celery salt and a poppy seed bun, but this is DDS so we can only expect so much, and make due with what we've got. At any rate, this dish is to be made at FoClosed. You want to go to the grill line and get a hot dog with sauerkraut and onions. Then, go to the deli line and get two slices of tomato and a pickle. Make sure that you get a pickle spear not slice, you need the crunch. Before you pay, go to where the salad dressings are kept and take two packets of relish. Then, layer your dog like this from bottom to top: bun, onions and sauerkraut, tomato slices, yellow mustard and relish, then finally, the hot dog and pickle. It's an absolutely great way to enjoy an american favorite. I hope you enjoy...
