From the Giarratano’s aka The Flub Family thank you for your kind words! And great history on the Chicago dog! We love all our customers like they are family! Hope to see you soon!
Thank you! You all are so wonderful and by far one of my favorite spots in the whole city! Highly recommend to everyone! Thank you for being so supportive! That means a lot!
It really makes no sense from a taste standpoint. Hot dogs are savory and spicy cylinders of ground meat. Ketchup is an umami bomb with sweet and tangy flavors. We all know those go together, hence sweet relish and tangy mustard. Sure ketchup on a hot dog with everything might not add much, but its not hurting it. You can hold the sweet relish, add spicy mustard and ketchup, onions, etc.
Some flavors don't work though, like pineapple on pizza because the acidic pineapple clashes with the acidic tomato sauce. Ketchup doesn't clash with a hot dog though.
I paid for the hot dog. I’ll put a ketchup slushy on it if I want to. And a classic Chicago hot dog is a hot mess of too many ingredients, so it’s completely irrational to say ketchup on a hot dog is some kind of food crime.
I was born and raised in Chicago. I've yet to see anyone tell me to not put ketchup on my hotdogs. Well, let me rephrase.. You can tell me whatever you want. I'm a grown man. I'll do as I damn well please with my food.
Once I pay for it, I do dam well whatever I please with it. They Wana go to jail or the hospital by tryin to tell me what to do with my food, then that's on them.
I fully support everyone enjoying their dogs as they please!!! It’s a weird tradition so I was curious why it started! But I agree! Eat your dogs however the ~bleep~ you wanna! 😁 thanks for the view!
Funny thing .... Currywurst is very popular in Berlin and Germany and is basically a pork hot dog kind of sausage doused with tomato-ketchup mixed with Worcestershire sauce and a good dusting of a curry powder.
In germany they always had and frequently used curry ketchup. Chicago can screw off telling anyone how to eat their dogs, when the Germans know what’s good 😂
@@lesstastedBTW, I prefer sticking to tradition for certain dishes so I’d skip ketchup in this case. But again, some people may like it with non-traditional extras and I don’t mind since it’s theirs.
@@anonymous3738 The best thing about eating is we get to decide how we enjoy our food! I think it’s best enjoyed with others who have different tastes!
I agree, ketchup doesn’t work on a Chicago dog. I don’t like Chicago dogs, so if I went to Chicago, I’d get a mustard/ketchup dog, so I’m ok coz it’s not a Chicago dog, just a dog in Chicago
The Chicago dog is too much. Hotdogs are a heartburn factory as is. Then they top it with an extra 5lbs of acidic salad turning it into an acid reflux nuke. The one ingredient the chicago dog turned me onto is the celery salt. Ketchup, mustard, onion and celery salt. Delicious.
I’m always in the mood for a great dog! My home town has a local spot that does chili, mustard, and onion! Those dogs will always have a special place in my heart.
I don’t put Ketchup on anything , Let alone a hot dog. However I do mix Ketchup with Horseradish for my shrimp cocktail sauce . There are many many places in NYC , that if someone puts Ketchup on a hot dog , They’ll be asked to leave . It’s an insult to put Ketchup on a hot dog , More than that , It’s disgusting 🤢
@@DanielJohnson-ec8rk You are probably the same kind of person who also thinks teens and young adults still jumping inside a bounce house sometimes is okay too
If Ketchup actually played off the sweetness of real tomatoes then it would be fine but no it's just mushy filler crap with a bunch of sugar. Any interesting flavor palette gets completely destroyed by ketchup and that cannot be forgiven.
If you are eating a hotdog, that is good quality then you will not need to add ketchup. When I did some research on why people don’t like ketchup in their hotdog in Chicago and it’s a sin they say it’s because it’s an insult to the people in Chicago as you’re pretty much telling them their beef is not that good so they gotta sweeten it with ketchup.
Then why does a Chicago dog have everything short of a kitchen sink on it. By this logic the only proper way to eat a hot dog is plain, no condiments, no bun
Let people eat their own hotdog however they want. We truly live in distopia when people are dictating what condiments other people are allowed to use on their food.
That’s exactly why I made this video! I was curious why Chicago was so strict with their “No ketchup” policy. I’ll never discourage any hotdog toppings!

I tried eating hot dogs without ketchup and it tastes great. I even used tomatoes, mayonnaise, lettuce, cucumbers and onions.
I put ketchup if I want it. Try to stop me.
I’d never dream of stopping anyone from enjoying their food
Clint Eastwood in Sudden Impact once said no one puts ketchup on a hotdog.
Oh trust me, I’m very familiar with famous wiener scenes hahahaha
Lol, he said a little bit more than that. Harry knows. Only mustard on hotdogs.
Who tf like mustard on a hot dog its just salty on salty it should have something sweet like ketchup or relish on it
There's no wrong way to eat any food. Get over yourself!
You need to get the food your mouth. If you don't you're doing it wrong.
Then eat peanut butter and salsa sandwiches with chips and jelly
Some flavors don't work though, like pineapple on pizza because the acidic pineapple clashes with the acidic tomato sauce. Ketchup doesn't clash with a hot dog though.
EXACTLY!!
Chili and mustard my top two.
LOVE chili and mustard on a hotdog! Mayhaps I’ll share my chili recipe soon!

Yup. Sweet relish, tangy mustard and tomatoes is essentially ketchup.
I strongly feel the same.
I was born and raised in Chicago. I've yet to see anyone tell me to not put ketchup on my hotdogs. Well, let me rephrase.. You can tell me whatever you want. I'm a grown man. I'll do as I damn well please with my food.
This whole no ketchup thing still blows my mind
So many culinary traditions baffle me!
It dont belong . Nothing baffling. It kills the flavor
@@mikechason466 dude then explain corn dogs
@@doncarlo4576 mustard is the only acceptable condiment for a corndog…
@@doncarlo4576 mustard only. Unless you are under 8 years old then grab the ketchup
You don’t even get rewarded for not putting ketchup on a hot dog in Chicago.

Oh relax !
And stop putting Ketchup on a hot dog !
I will continue to put a smidgen of ketchup on my dog when I feel. That is not often, but sometimes the craving is there.
I am from Wisconsin. I love Chicago stile beef hot dogs with all those topping but without tomatoes, mustard but add ketchup and mayo.
Growing up I used to put Mayo on hot dogs all the time! Most people think it’s gross so THANK YOU for sharing in this culinary delight!
I have put a curse upon you.
I like mustard for my hot dog, mayo for my burger and ketchup for my fries.
Funny thing .... Currywurst is very popular in Berlin and Germany and is basically a pork hot dog kind of sausage doused with tomato-ketchup mixed with Worcestershire sauce and a good dusting of a curry powder.
Well that just jumped to the top of the list of things to try!
berlin and Germany?
I dont eat hotdogs with anything on it. I like my hotdogs plain
You can’t have a hot dog without ketchup. If I get a chance to try a Chicago dog I’m putting ketchup on it
me too, and I’ll look at the person who sold it to me dead in the eye as I do it
I's say you would get shot for it, but honestly just being in Chicago alone would probably get you shot anyways.
Feel free! I’m from Chicago and we use ketchup on hotdogs
If you do, the world will blow up
Clint Eastwood said so
The solution to this is I don't eat Chicago style hot dogs.
Yeah they don't even look good too much bullshit
@@furrycircuitry2378 I just want a hot dog also, all of that pickle relish, onions, tomatoes, sauerkraut or whatever they can keep.
If I want to put ketchup on my chicago-style dog I will do so in Chicago
No Beans in Texas Chili Too.
I will even more so if i was told not to I love Ketchup on my hotdog
nice
Thank you!!!!

It's widely known that Chicagoans don't like ketchup that much.

@@youngboy2pacdrake My guide book, written by a woman who lives in Chicago, says Chicagoans do like it, whereas they don't appreciate ketchup.

Because it's our food, we paid for it, so we can put on it whatever we please
Mustard accentuates the flavor of good hot dogs -
Ketchup detracts !
Not true at all. mustard does compliment a hot dog, but so does ketchup. Sweet and tangy go with savory and spicy ground meat.
Chicago fogs taste like sh1t! Spicy mustard, ketchup and onions for real men
Hot dog Joel Rosario mix shop
One of the best dogs are ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, chopped onion, and chopped tomatoes. 😋
