So. Here's my perfect hotdog:

1. The wienie MUST be the same length as the bun. It's just heinous if it's not.

2. First, I put a fine line of Gulden's Spice Mustard in the MIDDLE of each side of the bun. (Why yes, it IS a science, thank You very much.)

3. Second, and along the mustard line, polka dots of ketchup. About the size of a pencil eraser. It cannot argue with the mustard, just enhance it.

4. Third, (is it bothering You yet that I'm on number 4 and just said "third"?) tiny dollops of SWEET pickle relish on ONE side only, the bottom side. Cuz that's just how I roll.

5. Fourth, the perfectly grilled dog, with just enough burnt to give it some texture.

6. Fifth, a heaping spoonful of a lovely chili, drizzled down the dog and pressed into the crevace between wienie and bun on the TOP side.

7. Sixth, sprinkle LIBERALLY (It must be a democrat hot dog!) with finely grated sharp cheddar.

SPECIAL NOTE: IF the others are having onions on THEIR dawgs, then I shall, too, 1 tablespoon of finely chopped red onion which should go between the chili and the cheese.


And THAT, my friends, is MY perfect dawg.

Is this something to eat or something to admire much like a work of art?
