The National Hot Dog Council Says Never Use Ketchup On Hot Dogs (restaurant, sausage)

[ackmondual]

I'd go so far as to say never eat hot dogs, rendering the ketchup issue moot, but still, to contribute to this debate...


The only time I've heard of not putting ketchup on something is for them fancy hamburgers like those made with kobe beef. They'll put some onion on it, but otherwise, it's "wrong" to treat it like a fast casual burger and put the full fixings on there.

If those bozos were worth a bucket of warm spit, they'd know that the proper term for "hot dogs" is frankfurters.

Thus, everyone can safely disregard their faulty guidelines.

The only things I put on a hot dog are mustard, onions and relish. But never any ketchup.

That's an American thing. Like, here we don't play soccer,

I love hot dogs! Grilled with spicy horse radish mustard, or with Coney Island onions, or with fresh chopped onion,tomatoes, dill pickles and celery salt, or chili, or sauerkraut and mustard. And many other toppings.

You like ketchup? Don't let the "Hot Dog Council" stop you. But do know what goes into your average hot dog.

I worked 19 years in a beef packing plant.


USDA inspectors all over.


If ....ever....meat from the floor got used that worker would get wrote up and the entire rack/tray would get a condemned tag on it.

Snobbishness about what you can put on hot dogs! Give us all a break, foodies. The simple answer is that yes it is okay to put a junk condiment on junk food.

My favorites on a "good" hot dog....Gulden's mustard and Claussen's sauerkraut.

Ketchup is for hamburgers....

When I was young and foolish I must admit that I sometimes used ketchup on my hot dogs. But once I became a grown man I realized the folly of my ways. Now it's mustard, dill relish and chopped sweet white onions only.

This is an article from 2014, but it brings up a classic argument...should ketchup be on a hot dog?

Not for me. My preferred condiment on hot dogs is yellow mustard. Add some pickle relish or onions or chili, or all of that, and yummy!

Personally I don't believe any group called the "National Hot Dog Council" would want to interfere with anyone's enjoyment of the very product that they exist to promote!
