Honestly, I can't turn my nose up at doggie offerings that seem ridiculous anymore. I used to be a hot dog snob; Chicago-style or nothing.
Today I had a 'beer hot' spicy hot dog on a bun resembling Naan bread with the following toppings: peanut butter, Crackerjacks, smoked Gouda, bacon, and BBQ sauce.
After you're done pulling your head out of the trashcan from reading this, please note... it was fabulous. No lie.
...actually, all of this is a lie...

A hotdog is a hotdog. A gourmet burger on the other hand, that's another story. Not a huge hotdog fan in general...much prefer knackwurst and bratwurst.
Last weekend I was fortunate enough to end up in Chicago at my brother in law's house. I was able to get a couple of Chicago Style Hot Dogs, my favorite--onions, neon green relish, dill pickle, tomato, sport peppers, mustard.

Certainly it would be easy for a home cook to duplicate these pairings at home and some of them, honestly, sound like an interesting and fun way to host friends for a unique cocktail party.

Here in St. Louis they have a hotdog stand at one the entrance/exit. While I would not ever dare to ask whats inside their hotdogs, they sure do taste mighty fine!

Its funny- just yesterday I was grabbing the hot dog buns and thought, "I wonder how peanut butter would be on a hot dog with a toasted bun". I use peanut butter to richen soups or stews, and even to pull some of the acidic bite out of a pot of chili. In those cases only a small amount is needed- you dont want to taste it per say, rather feel it.
