I have always put ketchup on my hotdogs even though I know it’s wrong.

Acknowledging your sins and failings is the first step toward recovery.

As an aside, Mrs. George, who, as you know, has no taste (she married me, after all) puts ketchup on her hot dogs as well.

Last week, she actually put it on a brat. I was that close to asking her to leave the house.

I usually agree with Mrs. G's excellent taste, but this is a mistake. I won't consume ketchup, never, ever.

Shuddering.

To my wife, it's an interesting American condiment. She likes it.

I took offense with their refusal to acknowledge the majesty of a chili cheese dog or sauerkraut on a dog. Yes, a Chicago Dog has become my preferred hot dog, but there are times when nothing will beat a chili cheese dog with mustard and onions…

Indeed. I had one last week, and it was a delight.

Er, a Brat with dijon mustard, grilled onion and blue cheese crumbles comes close, I'll bet. I had that at Dat Dog in NOLA.

One thing we can agree on, ketchup has no place on any of them…

This might be a guy/gal thing. Pretty sure my wife puts ketchup on hot dogs.

You know, in Vienna there are these street sausage stands where they dig a hole through the center of a bun, pour mustard and “ketchup” into the hole, then shove a sausage into it. It’s delicious, but I don’t count it as this “ketchup” is nothing like we have in the US…

@jon-nyc Me, too. Three cheers to Jon, Mrs G and Me, the Unregenerates Three.
