Chicago Style Hot Dogs

Grill or steam the dogs. If steaming , p lace a pot with a couple inches of water in the bottom and a steamer insert over high heat and bring the water to a boil. Steam the dogs for 5-6 minutes, then add the buns and continue cooking for an additional minute. Since the sausages are already cooked, the idea is to warm them gently rather than cooking again.

In the meantime, prepare the condiments and toppings.

Prepare to dress the dog by placing the sausage inside the bun. Throughout, add condiments and ingredients directly onto the dog rather than the bun; it's steamed and soft and shouldn't be smothered any further. Pickle goes on one side, tomato wedges on the other side of the sausage. Put mustard directly on the dog and the relish all over.Sprinkle with the celery salt. Place two sport peppers on top of each hot dog to crown the dish.
