This classic Chicago Dog is easy to make at home. If you can, use hot dogs with natural casings — they'll snap when you bite into them.
Instructions
Preheat grill to medium-high.
Prepare buns, if desired (see first step photo).
Grill hot dogs until well marked and heated through, ⏰ 4–5minutes.
Assemble dogs by placing them in buns, then drizzle with mustard and top with relish, onion, and 2 peppers. Tuck 2 tomato halves on one side of each dog, along with a pickle spear; sprinkle with celery salt before serving.
To make poppy seed buns, brush them with egg white, sprinkle with seeds, and bake at 400° for 5 minutes.
Load the grilled dogs with toppings. To make traditional bright green relish, tint it with food color.
