One of the reasons why I regret moving to Texas...NOBODY down here sells vienna dogs...let alone poppyseed buns. :(

Being born and raised in Chi-Town I can say that finally someone has gotten the chicago style dog recipe correct. I suggest having an ice cold old style and watching the cubs or bears to round out and make it a complete chicago meal.

Chicago Dogs are a childhood favorite of mine since my family owned a restaurant that specialized in Vienna Beef Hot Dogs. They aren't a Chicago Dog without the celery salt and pepperocini peppers have the perfect flavor to top the dogs. Of course, they really aren't a hot dog, but a GOURMET hot dog...Enjoy!

Excellent! I've used this recipe with all-beef hot dogs, bratwurst and mexican chorizo. They all taste great in this style.

My husband said these were better than any other hot dog he ever had. I made them pre Father's Day. He actually ate 3 of them. I had 2 and I'm supposed to be on a diet. We had the Chicago Sport's Peppers already so that was great. Thanks for an awesome recipe.

Truly delicious! I couldn't find poppy-seed buns or "sport" peppers so had to use regular buns and pepperoncini, but the dogs were still awesome! All of the toppings and the celery salt just make it great!

First Recipe I tried from this website and I absolutley loved it! I did grill my bun and dog, and didnt have sports peppers, but never the less, was still an excellent tasting dog. Nice crisp cool taste to it. The wife took her first bite and goes "yeah its alright, tastes like a hot dog" When she was done she said she wanted another one. I go "thought it just tasted like a regular hot dog?" Her reply " Each bite after the first one got better and better" Good recipe

Yum! Being from Ohio and having never traveled to Chicago, this was my first time having a Chicago-style dog. Absolutely fantastic. My daughter loves these and asks for them often.

My fave way to eat a hot dog...before it was just Ketchup/Mustard Onions...or maybe Onions and Sauerkraut. Sheesh, what was I thinking?! The Chicago dog is SO flavorful...and putting them together is really an Art more than a Science. In my area, I've had problems locating Sport Peppers and Poppy Seed Buns...so to substitute, I use Sliced Pepperoncini's and Potato Bread Buns. Don't know where to get Vienna Beef Dogs, but Boar's Head pinch hits just fine.

A definate classic. You NEED the sport peppers, and the buns haee to be steamed. I tend to overdo it with the celery salt.

There is NO other way to eat a hot dog. We always use Vienna beef dogs. And no ketchup, never ever never! In my opinion, if you visit Chicago you must eat an Italian beef from Taylor Street, deep dish pizza from Giordanos, Garrett popcorn and a Chicago Style Hot Dog. With this recipe, you can bring a bit of Chicago to you if visiting is not possible. Do be sure to use the poppy seed bun, it won't be the same without it.

The only bad thing about this recipe is that the dog needs to be Vienna Beef. True Chicago has a topping style but a Chicago dog is the brand Vienna Beef- not just any beef dog. Also, never grill a Chicago dog save that for the east coast. :)

I love hot dogs like this. I first had them on the Navy Pier while visiting Chicago. I can't get some of the ingrediants near me. Like sport peppers and poppy seed hot dog buns. I've tried other things, but they never quite match the great flavor of this recipe.
