Is putting ketchup on a hot dog un-American? (suspect, cost, great)

Mayo is better. Just don't put it on an Italian hoagie.

It looks like the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council agrees with me, encouraging toppings like mustard, relish, and onions but discouraging ketchup.

I could say the same for people who put fruit in beer or any ingredient that violates the German purity laws

Yes fruit in beer is a mortal sin.

I really don't understand the big deal. If it's not inappropriate to put ketchup on a hamburger, then why would it be wrong to do so with a hot dog?

Come on, man. Tongue, cheek, light-hearted.

I suspect this thread was started as a spoof on some other recent ones, and was meant to be fun.

I do not expect shots to be fired. In fact, I have probably seen lefties and righties be nicer to each other on this thread than on any other in recent memory. Perhaps that was the point...

What style? If it's Memphis, I want the recipe.

I'd rather cover a good steak with caramelized onions and crumbled Roquefort.

Even worse, I ordered a corned beef on Rye in a Lake Tahoe casino once and it arrived with lettuce, tomato, and mayo.

Check this place out. The cheese I got was not Roquefort, but it was the best blue cheese I ever put in my mouth. Caveman Blue. It is insanely good. Even my housemate, who dislikes blue cheese, thought it was wonderful. Can't wait to try some on a good burger or steak.
