You can certainly try. I'll need you to make a Wisdom check, with disadvantage.

You know I can’t make that check.

Chili dogs! I can't believe I forgot chili dogs. Those are amazing too, though I question why you'd put any condiments on one. Hot sauce, I guess?

Now here's the thing. A sad little grocery store hot dog, that you've tossed in the microwave? Sure, throw some ketchup on that (especially when combined with boxed Mac n' cheese). A real, serious sausage though? Mustard and onions are it. Maybe some pickle relish, if you're feeling frisky.

I mean even for a McDonald's "hamburger" doesn't call for chocolate sauce, and a Taco Bell "taco" doesn't call for mustard and pickle relish.

And microwaved hot dog!?!? Who does that to even a store brand? Don't you have a gas burner and a fork? Or even a pot of boiling water?

Mustard and onions seem traditional with the chili. Although a lot of places seem like they can't tell the difference between overly ground sloppy joe and chili.

Honest to God not kidding around, never seen anyone object to ketchup on a hot dog.

Oh, you poor summer child. I remember winter offensive of aught-two. We had to burn our underwear to keep warm, it was so cold. The defenders of mustard honor, bolstered by the ROTC program at Poupon University, fought off the hordes of Heinz at the Battle of Mount Horeb. I can still remember the fight song of the brave souls from Poupon U:

On our hot dogs, on our bratwurst,
Mustard is so cool.
Never mayo, never ketchup
They’re against the rules.
Gleaming gold and mellow yellow,
Smooth, rough, sweet and hot,
Fight, POUPON U, we’ll fight
and eat some lunch.

In the end, we held the line. Heinz couldn't cut the mustard.

Onions sure, but that's a topping, not a condiment. I enjoy a wide range of mustards, and none I can think of would go well with chili. One of the local restaurants defaults to mayo and ketchup, which is sacrilege

Microwave hot Dogs are a lifeline when you've got kids

Arguing over the best toppings for a hot dog is akin to a heated debate about the proper deployment of Cheez Whiz.

....I can understand that there might be a dispute, but I fail to understand what depths of the human condition occurred that made the dispute necessary.

I had baked beans and coleslaw on a hot dog once. I hate to admit that I liked it.

President Obama vetoes ketchup on hot dogs

President Obama appeared Sunday night on CNN, and chef and author Anthony Bourdain asked him a question that he described as fraught with peril: Is ketchup acceptable on a hot dog? “It’s not acceptable past the age of 8,” answered the president, re-igniting one of the hottest debates at the...

I mean seriously, this is not a secret!


I wouldn't do it, because Ketchup only goes on burgers (and only if you don't have any pimento cheese), but

I mean, if one is terrible at making Mac and cheese, like sub-Kraft levels?

Possibly even worse than ketchup is the word "moistness".
