And I love Chicago-style dogs, they might be my favorite hot dog style, though I'm just curious if people really believe they can't be duplicated outside Chicago.
Sure they can be duplicated. All other hot dog variations can probably be duplicated also. In NY shake shack makes a decent one and nationally sonic is also alright.

New York style is the best. It sounds sacrilegious since I'm from the Chicago area. Chicago dogs have too much stuff on them and I hate pickles.

Is ketchup allowed on an NYC hot dog?

Nope, it's very harmonious!

Agreed. It doesn't overpower the taste at all.

The Chicago Dog has been around longer and has much more national popularity, but stop pretending like it's something magical. It's a good hot dog with a good selection of toppings.

Beer cheese soup is just German/Central European food basically, I've seen on menus all over the US and Canada that don't reference Wisconsin.
Um....what? I'm not pretending it's something "magical." I don't even prefer it, necessarily, to a regular hot dog with mustard. But it is definitely a recognized regional brand.

Maybe if the "Seattle hot dog" lasts ninety years and gains name-recognition outside of a very small, niche market, then I will recognize it as an actual regional variety of hot dog. Right now, though, it's just a cutesy gimmick. Sorry for the honesty...

to people saying there are to many toppings on the Chicago dog, those toppings are fresh tasting and light, not really dense like cream cheese or sriracha. so they dont overpower the hotdog
