I'm really surprised how close minded some folks are about food from different areas. And by "really surprised", I mean "not surprised at all" because I have a pretty jaded view of things.
Having eaten hot dogs in many many places (despite having had food poisoning more times than I can count, I still insist on eating street food just about everywhere I visit), I have to say Chicago dogs are pretty damn good. The actual sausage is very good, with actual natural casing. Not quite as good as some of the hot dogs I had in Germany (currywurst is really good there), but still, not at all bad.
Now, that said, I have tried, on a few occasions, to eat the hot dogs in Cincinnati. They are pretty plain, as far as sausage goes, and I can tolerate them with the shredded cheese and chopped onion, but I really dislike the chili that you can get on them.

then why drown it in ****? The finest cuts of steak aren't drowning in A1, onions, peppers, blue cheese, mayo, dijon, bbq rub, cajun seasoning, then smothered in gravy...Originally Posted by gomestar
Actually, when I eat a steak sandwich, I like lots of things on it, like cheese, onions, peppers, mushrooms, etc.
I guess it depends on how you like sandwiches. . . meat on bread or a full meal on bread.

veggies, fine (basic veggies don't pack flavor punches like ketchup, spicy mustard, relish, etc.) ... but cheese? I'm talking about really fine cuts of meat, the Peter Luger style. Cheese would ruin it! On the flip side, I can see cheese improving a less than desirable cut of meat, which was my point all along...

Are you really trying to compare sandwiches to sandwiches? It doesn't look that way. . .

Zoidberg: "I'd like a jumbo squidlog please."
Man: "We don't sell those."
Zoidberg: "All right, all right, let me have one of your young on a roll."
Man: "We're out of rolls."
Zoidberg: "Fine! Just give me something crawling with parasites." (gets handed a hotdog, then eating/growling sounds)
Fry: "Mmm! At least hot dogs haven't changed."

This is another thing that I think Chicago does right. Vienna beef on a steamed poppy seed bun, dragged through the garden with tomato, chopped onion, Mustard, lime green relish, sport peppers, kosher dill, and celery salt. Yum!Originally Posted by Hellbound
I tried a Chicago dog last year and liked it a lot -- the celery salt was a killer touch.

What the hell.
I was just reading about Chicago dogs yesterday and decided 2 hours ago to buy all the ingredients to make them tonight for me and my friends. I found all the ingredients in the supermarket except sport peppers (found some whole green chiles) and poppy seed bun (found potato buns). We shall see how this goes.
So funny you guys bring it up though...weird.
