What makes a Chicago-Style hot dog?

A true Chicago-style hot dog is an all-beef frankfurter nestled in a steamed poppy seed bun. It's then "dragged through the garden" with the following essential toppings:

• Yellow mustard

• Bright green relish

• Chopped onions

• Tomato wedges

• A kosher dill pickle spear

• Sport peppers

• A dash of celery salt

Notice what's missing? That's right—ketchup is a big no-no for purists.
