Quoted from Phat_Jay:Nothing beats superdawg in chicago.
Superdawg is good, but I prefer Portillo's (now one is very close with new one opening in Springfield, IL)
port (resized).jpgport2 (resized).jpgFirst off let me state as others have that BBQ is not a verb
There was this hot dog joint in Norfolk that used to serve hotdogs with mustard onions and chili. If you didn't like them that way or asked for them any other way the guy would tell you to just leave
Quoted from Jamesays:this is new to me I will try it,might have to make some bloody marys with the celery salt out
It’s delicious, sodium on top of sodium 
Quoted from latenite04:Mustard, Meat Sauce (Chili), Onions... All over mac salad and home fries. Preferably a white hot but this might just be an odd western ny thing.

mmmmm garbage plate
Quoted from Jamesays:chili no beans is best if you want chili and i do but not everytime,The Bagel dogs around here are awesome.Why limit yourself your worth it try everything atleast once.
I tried to smoke some crawdads but they kept clogging up my bong
I will eat a hotdog with anything but ketchup however a proper coney will always be closest to my heart.
All food in my house consumed after lunch is paired with bong rips so pretty much anything goes.

I’m in Dearborn quite a bit, and Coney’s are tasty!
Quoted from Jamesays:I eat a bunch of different peppers but have never heard of sport peppers.I have never tried a pepper and not liked it.
It’s like a mini jalapeño but less heat and sweeter. I can eat them straight up. Yummy
Quoted from Yelobird:Wheres the option for celery salt? Has no one ever been to Chicago?
I guess that falls in the other category

You can get them through Amazon pretty cheap

BBQ is slow cooked meat, preferably pork
Now a damn good BBQ sandwich is a hamburger bun with some pulled pork, some BBQ sauce, and a layer of coleslaw. That's good eating
Sometimes I'll grill brauts and I like a good mustard like this
81g3+wplzbL._SL1500_ (resized).jpg
Or I'll get a New York dog with brown mustard, onion, and kraut.
I don't like ketchup in general. I'm fine if it's on my burger or whatever, but I don't add it on purpose. It's mostly just sugar.
Quoted from JayDee:I guess that falls in the other category
Ok, just added pickles, celery salt, and tomatoes. I had no idea that those were options, lol
Quoted from djreddog:3rd generation family member who still puts peanut butter on my hot dog. Try it.
That's the first time I've ever heard that.
I'll have peanut butter on crackers, sandwiches, or as a veggie dip, but I can't imagine a pairing like hot dogs and peanut butter 
Quoted from NashtyFunk:That's grilling, not BBQing.
Quoted from DanQverymuch:Oh, please. It's a variation of barbequing. Look it up.
The whole gathering is called a barbeque! No one says come over for a grilling!
Ok, I admit that I am an uncultured heathen from the North. Up here, having a BBQ is really just opening a up grill (we usually call it a barbecue) and throwing on some hot dogs, burgers, kielbasi, wurst, chicken, steak, or whatever else. I know in the south it is very different and most folks down there take their BBQing and/or grilling very seriously. I didn't mean to cause any upset 
Quoted from TreyBo69:Hot dogs are not BBQ, it's grilling
A lot of people call grills "BBQs" 
Quoted from DanQverymuch:Oh, please. It's a variation of barbequing. Look it up.

If you want real controversy, try telling me I can't put noodles in my chili!
It's probably a regional thing. Around here a BBQ and a cookout are two different things and types of party. A BBQ is an all day affair of slow cooking food and drinking which may or may not include grilling. A cookout is just grilling (and drinking). Or someone will invite you over and specify grilling
The words are not interchangeable here. But we take BBQ really serious around Memphis. It wasn't till my mid twenties that I realize drive-through BBQ joints weren't a thing everywhere. How do yall live not being able to get a slab of ribs to go? (Probably a lot longer...)

No harm done. Is southerners know that up north there’s a lack of understanding of what is grillin’ and what’s ‘Que.
Thankfully, you can now help your friends and family embrace the glory of BBQ and spread the good word all around.
BBQ comes right after church here in a lot of TX. Just cause it’s sacrilege to call hot dogs bbq doesn’t mean we don’t still like y’all yankees.
Quoted from TreyBo69:How do yall live not being able to get a slab of ribs to go? (Probably a lot longer...)
We can, it's just not the same thing up here. I can easily note the differences, but suffice it to say that I enjoy both types, it's just certainly *not* the same.
Quoted from NashtyFunk:Just cause it’s sacrilege to call hot dogs bbq
I don't think anyone calls Hot dogs themselves BBQ...but you make them ON a BBQ.
Quoted from Rarehero:I don't think anyone calls Hot dogs themselves BBQ...but you make them ON a BBQ.
It's a regional thing...I don't know anyone who calls a grill a BBQ
Course around here, there's still plenty of people who call any sort of soft-drink a coke.
Quoted from nicoy3k:Chilean style...
Avocado, Tomato, Mayo
Yep, this is what I am talking about. That tomato and mayo combo is insane on a dog.

at the risk of agreeing with you too much I knew exactly what you were talking about.I grill,BBQ and. smoke a variety of meats on a variety grills and smokers.When you said Bbq there is no confusion here we are talking hotdogs.I bet quite a few people were inspired to make DAWGS or something on their grills today.thanks
Quoted from TreyBo69:It's a regional thing...I don't know anyone who calls a grill a BBQ

That was very confusing the first time I experienced that. A friend asked for a Coke...got a Coke...and was pissed because he wanted a Sprite. 
Im from Nashville now in california for years.I really liked when I went to Dallas and Houston for work How available good bbq was and I dont mean no ribs at a pizza joint.Legite chicken ribs pork and briskett .Amazing Loved the availability of Cajun food too
Quoted from Jamesays:I bet quite a few people were inspired to make DAWGS or something on their grills today.
Yep--I just picked up a fresh onion and plan to use my little foreman grill to cook up some hot dogs. Not quite the same as a real outdoor grill, but it will hit the spot for now.
Quoted from ForceFlow:I'll have peanut butter on crackers, sandwiches, or as a veggie dip, but I can't imagine a pairing like hot dogs and peanut butter
Maybe if you add Bacon. Bacon goes with everything.

Is that a Twinkie for the bun?

That one is on him.

Oh yeah good cajun food. A crawfish boil is another wonderful all day event of eating and drinking too much.
Quoted from ForceFlow:[quoted image]

I've done it. It's actually pretty good. I've put peanut butter on potato chips, pizza and hamburgers.
Quoted from JayDee:Is that a Twinkie for the bun?
Yes I think you are right - I did not notice that - even better
Quoted from Jaybird815:I’m a Claussen guy for name brand, but I’ve been munching on these lately, pretty sure they’re National now. In the deli section and half the price of Claussen’s.
[quoted image]
Yep, good stuff. Great on burgers, too. Cheddar, grilled onions, pickle chips.
Quoted from ReadyPO:Yes I think you are right - I did not notice that - even better
And here is where that came from. It’s called a twilly
https://www.eonline.com/news/442459/would-you-eat-the-twilly-aka-a-hot-dog-with-a-twinkie-bun
Quoted from Jaybird815:Your one sick bastard, your back must be hurting from all that digging you would of had to do.
My one sick bastard? Don't know why my back "must be hurting" if I "would of" had to dig, since "would've" means I didn't. Why would I? She told me in a dream that she liked the way I smother my dogs in ketchup, I don't know what twisted thing you envisioned.
Hot dogs and peanut butter:

Now go try it ONCE and enjoy it.
Don’t really eat too many hot dogs but when I do, it’s 100% beef and soft buns. Nathan’s bun length dogs is a no brainer. Top them with hienz ketchup, mustard, chopped onions and relish.
My folks recently turned me on to Ted Leightner dogs. It a dog with mayo,pickles,tomato and something else I don't remember. Until then I would have said he'll no to mayo on a dog. I like just mustard and lots of diced onion. Also like a chili cheese dog, ( no beans), and lot of diced onion.
Earlier in the Covid hassle my local pallet store was blowing out 5 pound frozen bags of Nathan's all beef jumbo dogs for $2.89 a package. He scored them from the theaters that had to close. I still have about 25 pounds of those.
Spiral slice an all beef dog and grill it...... You're welcome
Quoted from Electrocute:Don’t really eat too many hot dogs but when I do, it’s 100% beef and soft buns. Nathan’s bun length dogs is a no brainer. Top them with hienz ketchup, mustard, chopped onions and relish.
Nathans all beef all good
Quoted from Jaybird815:I’m in Dearborn quite a bit, and Coney’s are tasty!
To me, American Coney Island in Detroit is the best!
Quoted from dos_reboot:All I eat are onions...[quoted image]
