    I worked at Gina's when i was a freshman in high school, 1978. Frank the owner was the greatest....Looks like his son Ralph is running the show now. All the best........

    I used to walk home from school. Didn't spend my money at the school lunches, just went straight to Gina's, cheap enough to get a dog for myself and my friend. This commercial takes me back. I'll get one right now actually. Also their italian ice is the best, lemon. They make the lemon flavor in house, not sure about the other flavors because I've never tried them. I've never had a better hot dog in my life. The owner is such a sweetheart as well.

      That is usually the case but if you use the simply Heinz ketchup that doesn’t have high fructose corn syrup and sweetened with can sugar instead is a lot more tame. Compliments the all beef dog well because HFCS is a lot more sweet than sugar and it makes sense cause even the sweet relish that contains it is overly sweet.

    • @jordanarseneau5752
      @jordanarseneau5752 3 роки тому

      @@tfries72 that’s a great point. So maybe the argument against ketchup isn’t that it overpowers but that it’s redundant. The pickle and sport peppers have the vinegary taste, the tomatoes provide the acidic tang, and the relish gives you the sweetness; no ketchup necessary?

    • @tfries72
      @tfries72 3 роки тому +1

      @@jordanarseneau5752 I would agree I do not ever put ketchup on a chicago dog either traditional or depression style because it gives you everything you need already. For my own dogs at home though I usually use the simply kethup, mustard, hot giardiniera relish and onion which gives me everything I need and the kethup is not overpowering in that instance i can still taste everything.

I mean does it remind people of having blood on a Hot Dog, sorry if I am grossing people out. I mean it is okay that they are eating all this other stuff, but no to ketchup. If you are having all the other stuff, why not have ketchup on it as well, I mean can you even taste the ketchup when you have all the other stuff on it? Can somebody please finally end the whole freaking mystery. I just feel like a kid in a grownup's body.
