Chicago-Style Hot Dog

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A Chicago-style hot dog, known locally as a Chicago Dog, is a steamed or water-simmered all-beef frankfurter on a poppy seed bun, originating from the city of Chicago, Illinois. The hot dog is topped with yellow mustard, chopped white onions, sweet pickle relish (often a dyed neon-green variety, sometimes called piccalilli), a dill pickle spear, tomato slices or wedges, pickled sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt. The complete assembly of a Chicago hot dog is said to be "dragged through the garden", a piece of restaurant jargon which signifies a hamburger or hotdog with many accompaniments.
