I think legendary columnist Mike Royko said it best, if anyone wanted to put ketchup on their hot dog, they would have the right to do so, but "It is also their right to put mayo or chocolate syrup or toenail clippings or cat hair on a hot dog. Sure, it would be disgusting and perverted, and they would be shaming themselves and their loved ones. But under our system of government, it is their right to be barbarians" (via Chicago PBS affiliate WTTW via mashed.com)
I mean, hot dogs are kinda gross with any condiments. Why would anyone voluntarily eat a Frankfurter when Bratwurst exists? :p

Both at the same time is the normal way to eat a hot dog. It's hardly a one or the other situation.


But seriously, how do people not know the official rules of hot dog ettiquette:

Ketchup is probably the most overused and overrated condiment in America. It immediately transforms any food--any at all--to its least-impressive, most basic form.

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

Now ketchup on Mac and cheese is an atrocity.

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

Ketchup, and its alias catsup, is the condiment of sadness knowing that you could truly have had a better hot dog by putting mustard on it instead.
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.
