Here in the windy city we do take our dogs seriously. A standard Chicago dog has mustard, onion, relish(which I do not like), tomato and sport peppers (if you desire). More than that, and you are not eating at a real Chicago hot dog joint. Ketchup is not allowed, unless you are some schlub from the suburbs then it is understandable. The bun has to be steamed and is usually an S. Rosen's. I have been to many different stands and have never heard of the 'shake shack'. The best places are probably, Hot Doug's, Gene and Jude's on the outskirts of the city, Clark Street Dog (although very trendy) and the late Demon Dogs (RIP). There are many others, but these are some I could think of now.
The buns are (poppy) seeded, yes? Shake Shack is the only place in NYC to get a Chicago-style dog....
