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.

Best way to eat a dog. Celery salt, fresh tomatos and a poppy seed bun are the key,,,, and never ever use ketchup never : )

Just like you get at Vienna Beef! For the record you can get an authentic Chicago-Style in Milwaukee @ Sammy's. But making them at home is great, too.

I left out the celery salt because Hebrew National franks are salty enough and I only had hamburger buns, but this was still delicious! Great flavors all together adding more veggies to a hot dog! Definately no ketchup needed!

These were great, much better than a ketchup covered hotdog. I'm not familiar with sport peppers, but I used hot peppers and it was delicious. Celery salt is strong so go easy on it. I will definatly make these again!

The first time I got one of these wonderful Dogs was on Washington Island in Wisconsin at a little food stand and I ate 3 of them! Everytime we go there I HAVE to stop and eat 3 of them! We now make them at home after searching hard for some of the Ingredients! I would not eat a Dog any other way!!! We dont make them that often because I eat so many of them! They are SOOOOOOOO GOOOOODDD! Dont feel bad if you eat a few like I do. Just run an extra Mile tomorrow :)

I was born and raised in Illinois and remember Super Dogs as delicious. Made these for a 4th of July picnic. I couldn't find all the ingredients called for in Arkansas. I had to substitute Hebrew National ¼ pound beef franks and hogie rolls. The rolls were too stiff, but I can't hold the recipe at fault there. All and all they were very good and got great reviews. I did add sour kraut which I personally think make the dish. I'll make these again soon!

Not being a pickle or pepper fanatic, I like mine with cucumber wedges instead of the pickles and peppers. For the record, I got a dog this way from a pushcart in Chicago.

This is the only way to eat a hot-dog! Only you must use vienna beef, and I prefer to use a dill spear with a dash of celery salt... the best hot-dog stand I have ever eaten from sits right outside the Shed Aqurium in Chicago and this is how they do it! I live near Wrigly and they do it more like this recipe, so I think either way is correct... it's just a personal preference. ENJOY!!!

Good dogs! Can't find poppy seed buns here in Central CA. Use French bagget type breads cut to size. They're better suited to standing up to all the "stuff". Not much on sweet relish. Peppers in question... I dunno. We use pepperonccini peppers. Also some kind of good cheese and maybe... chili!!!

I live in Chicago & eat Chicago dogs all the time. Don't worry about not finding the sport peppers if you are in a different area, I think most people pick them off anyways cause they are spicy. Also, most hot dog stands here use Vienna hot dogs that should be in stores. They have a nice skin with a snap. They make for the best hot dogs.

This is by far the best hot dog I have ever had. I love how the flavors taste all mixed together even though I really did not think I would like it. My husband who doesn't like relish loved it and my daughter who doesn't like any kind of peppers loved it as well. This is a KEEPER. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

Excellent! Sounds weird, but they are really good. We add sliced cucumbers with everything else ~ I like mine with banana peppers and my husband likes his with jalapenos. Sometimes we make on wheat buns or hoagie rolls. Very filling!

Thumbs up all around on this one. Everyone loved these (even with the substitutions we had to make) I will be trying to track down the "correct" ingredients. Some recipes I found (other sites) called for cukes instead of pickles. I won't knock it till I've tried it that way too.
