Chicago style

November 26, 2007
(shh CAW go sty el) / adj. / The proper way to eat a hot dog. According to Vienna Beef president Howard Eirinberg, Chicago style is: a water-cooked dog topped with mustard, onions, tomato wedges, "nuclear green" relish, kosher pickle spear, sport peppers and a dash of celery salt -- served on a steamed, poppyseed bun. Unless you are a child or prepared to take a lot of abuse: no ketchup allowed. Chicago style is sometimes referred to as "dragging it through the garden."
