Here's a genuine Chicago hotdog. It's a Vienna Beef "all beef" hot dog, with a dill pickle spear, chopped onions, tomato slices or wedges, yellow mustard, sweet relish, sport peppers, and celery salt, all on a poppy seed bun.
There are two things to notice about that list. Firstable, there's no ketchup. Supposedly, it's taboo to put ketchup on a Chicago dog, so don't do it unless you want to be scrutinized as an outsider. Secondly, I put "all-beef" in quotes because my friend told me that Vienna Beef was recently sued for not being all-beef. Instead, they use sheep casings on their dogs. That's close enough for me, but some people out there are kosher fanatics.
The important thing is, it's a damn good hot dog. It's probably my favorite style hot dog and I've tried to be unbiased about it too.

It doesn't look that good to me but looks can be deceiving. Maybe it's just the tomato slice and pickles throwing it off for me.
