    If I were a member of the family I’d vote for mustard too.

    Hot dog purists, especially in Chicago, say that only mustard shold go on a hot dog. They will become quite angry if you suggest ketchup. Hot dog vendors don’t even have ketchup on display, although some keep a bottle under the counter.Personally, I eat mine wrapped in two cheese slices, without a bun.

    I can’t think of a single thing that I’d put ketchup on. On the other hand, I’ve put mustard on baked beans.

    I like my hot-dog split in half and then I put a bunch of Amish zucchini relish on it and add mustard & ketchup… It makes thevery best hot-dog you’ll ever want to eat. Serve it with potato chips for a great lunch.

    A real Chicago dog does not have ketchup on it. However, I’m not all that ate up about that.

    On the other hand, I’m more amazed that people put mayo on a burger. That just doesn’t seem right on so many levels.

    According to the National Hot Dog & Sauage Council:

    Don’t…

    Use ketchup on your hot dog after the age of 18.Mustard, relish, onions, cheese, and chili are acceptable.

    I remember an article in the Detroit News where a person working a Comerica Park (Detroit Tigers) wouldn’t put ketchup on a hotdog, but only mustard. He said only mustard goes on a hot dog.

    Chili – mustard – onions. ketchup for fries and little kids. Course most people act like little entitled kids today and getting more like babies each day. World of immature teens to middle agers. Whiners. Now Wilberforce is playing mediator today between two kids. Well done young lad. Well done.

    In Chicago it is illegal to put ketchup (or catsup) on a hot dog after the age of ascension (12 years).

    The next level is the ‘Francheezie’. A jumbo hot dog or Polish Sausage’ stuffed with American Cheese and wrapped in bacon, then deep fried. You’ll die with a smile on your face.

    There are two ways to have a hotdog, 1. plain on a bun, and 2. with everything-making it a gastric disaster. There is no middle ground.

    I started with Catsup as a child, but in high school changed to mustard. Sometime after that, I went to both, then back to Ketchup. Now, it’s BBQ sauce. My wife was strictly mustard.

    Okay, I have tabulated the surprising results of my unofficial poll (including those from The Born Loser Facebook page), as of 6:30 EST. By the way, I did not intend to do this when I created this strip, but so many of you automatically weighed in with your preferences that I had to post the results. To keep it simple, I only counted toppings that had more than five votes. The results are: 1. Mustard (the overwhelming winner) 2. Both 3. Chili 4. Ketchup 5. Relish 6. Mayo 7. Cheese. Thanks to everyone for joining in the fun!

    While some people can’t stand to see me eat a filet done extra rare, I get totally grossed out by ketchup on eggs. It might be the colors. I don’t know. Personally, I feel people put ketchup on foods to drown out the original taste.
