I'm not sure I want to grant this to a hot dog... but I think I know where people are coming from...
The same reason I don't put any sauce or seasonings on a good steak.
I can certainly eat some good garlic and beer bratwurst straight up as well and is great with no bun, much less no toppings.
I happen to like the spicy peppers and pickle spear though so, its cool.
Just some good deli brown mustard is really enough. I find the only time I layer on a lot of seasonings on something is when I don't like the taste of the plain meat.

I guess its personal preference. I'm just all about making the food not only taste good but it's gotta look good and all the toppings must compliment the main meal(the hotdog). This pretty much goes for most foods that i make really. Thats why IMO the chicago dog is better.
But i know i can eat an italian sausage with n o bun and nothing on it, mmmmmmm...

I'm really simple and don't like a lot of things on any of my food. I really only put relish or ketchup on my hot dogs, that's why I probably wouldn't like the Chicago style. Most people put sauerkraut on their NY hot dogs. I know, I know, I could take a lot of toppings off, but isn't that what the style is for Chicago hot dogs? That kind of defeats the purpose. The thing about NY hot dogs is that they're mostly kosher, which are a lot better than non-kosher. I had this vendor a few blocks from me that had AMAZING hot dogs. They would just melt in your mouth, they're amazing.
Also, nothing beats eating a Nathans hot dog in Coney island.

By the way, I think Maine red hot dogs are just as good as the hot dogs here. They're a totally different type. You can't get them anywhere else in the country it seems. I went to school upstate after I went to Maine, couldn't find them there. Now I can't find them on the island. Also never saw them in Florida. Whenever I go to Maine, I'm always sure to bring a whole package of them back with me.
Mmmm, they even look really appetizing just from this picture. This link also describes what makes them special:

I've seen these, only at gourmet shops though... Think fox and obel type, not whole foods. You can probably find them in ny at a specialty meat shop, I would think at least.

Nope, we go to meat stores a lot and I've never seen them...If you can't find them here, I doubt they're readily available anywhere outside of northern New England.

I wasn't meaning specifically from maine, just that red neon style. I think they were making it themselves. But not *from* maine.

I feel the same way about pizza and don't like a lot of toppings on them... mozarella/basil/tomato is enough with a dough and crust that is perfection. Trust me there is a huge range for what is good mozarella and what is bad, the same with a good sauce and what tastes like they put ragu sauce on it. Stuff like pizza hut meat lovers or something is a crime!
Weirdo.
If you people don't like ingridients on things then you might as well only eat the dough from a pizza, or maybe just the cheese, just the tomatoe sauce?
