The National Hot Dog Council Says Never Use Ketchup On Hot Dogs (burgers, pizza)

This is who they are.

They're the sausage lobby. Or "Big Sausage". Or maybe "Big Dog".

There are some foods you want to eat 100% BECAUSE of taste, not because they are less bad for you.

As for Ketchup, I can take it or leave it on a dog - but it mostly works with a combination of ketchup, mustard, relish, and chopped (not fried) onions.

"Crap meats"you say? you any idea of what goes into a hotdog? Basically, the stuff they scrape from the slaughterhouse floor.

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 dislike ketchup on anything.

For a hot dog I like relish, mustard and onions. But if sauerkraut is available I'll with that and onions. What do I like on my fries? Malt vinegar. Man, is that good!

I normally put nothing on a good hot dog or sandwich.. When the mood strikes though it's ketchup, mustard and sauerkraut..

I always put ketchup on my hot dogs but I never put in on my sausage.

I never knew there was a "Council" directive on this sort of thing. ..

I guess I'm a girl who knows what to do with a sausage.

No thanks, I rather siracha ketchup or red hot for heat...

My ex-boyfriend used to like everything on a hot dog; mustard, ketchup, relish, onion... That gets too muddied up for me.

I like them with just mustard. If you get a good one, at home or at a movie theater or ball park, they're totally tasty just plain.

Me, too. Don't tread on my Heinz!

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

I hope they didn't waste a lot of money on this study. A single phone call and I could have told them.

As a kid going to A & W, I always got the hot dog with catsup only. Now, as an adult, I rarely eat hotdogs because of all the "fillers" like corn syrup. Really, you have to put on there whatever takes the taste away from the hot dog. Yuck!
