About Chicago hotdog

The Chicago-style hot dog is a beloved staple of American cuisine, originating from the city of Chicago in the early 20th century. Known for its distinct combination of toppings, this hot dog features an all-beef frankfurter nestled inside a steamed poppy seed bun. It is traditionally "dragged through the garden," meaning it’s topped with yellow mustard, bright green relish, fresh chopped onions, juicy tomato wedges, a dill pickle spear, sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt. While the vegetables provide a dose of vitamins and fiber, the processed nature of the beef frankfurter contributes saturated fat and sodium. The bun adds refined carbohydrates, and the condiments, like relish and mustard, may contain added sugars or preservatives. Enjoying a Chicago hot dog in moderation can be part of a balanced diet, offering a unique blend of flavors and textures that celebrate Chicago’s culinary heritage.
