THE CHICAGO DOG / CHICAGO-STYLE HOT DOG...IS IT WORTH THE HYPE? | SAM THE COOKING GUY

[@grahamrotelli1567]

Celery Salt!!!! It’s on every Chicago Dog. Makes a huge difference.

[@MashKnight]

Was going to say doesn't look like it.

[@Climberman2379]

all in all he did ok, but celery salt and bashing MUCH harder on ketsup were definitely absent.

[@jokermebad31]

Here here. Was going to say too. You can only find neon green relish in Chicago, IL only.

[@Laniel1341]

Also a Maxwell polish with some grilled onions and hot gard is a damn powerhouse that doesn’t get talked about enough haha

You can’t have a Chicago dog without celery salt. It’s one of the most important toppings

I split a bun length piece of celery down the middle, myself...much better

[@judas4958]

Amazing looking dogs! Love the homemade buns. Will definitely give this a try, with the celery salt of course.

[@priscillablagaich7704]

Sam your homemade bun looks amazing! I’m born and raised in Chicago and the only thing missing is the “Celery Salt” The actual hot dog looks perfect and I love the fact you took the time to make the poppyseed buns by scratch… shows how awesome you are and a truly talented chef!

[@HPN620]

I’m not hating but it would change the dog.

[@charlesbeckwell3868]

Sam: Chicago-style relish is a type of sweet pickle relish typically used on Chicago-style hot dogs. The unique color of the relish, often referred to as "neon green", is created by adding blue dye to regular pickle relish.

[@jimneary2802]

And it's SUPER gross

[@phonzy]

Hahahah the Chi is so weird

[@therealderjett]

My wife makes the relish for me every 2 years. It's grown in her garden and canned. I love it. Had some friends from Chicago try it and they say it's perfect.

[@blacksitemadhatter6721]

gross

[@jonathantyler7635]

Um Chicago dogs do not come with relish, the hell are you talking about??? Not one Chicago dog that I have eaten has ever came with relish. Every Chicago dog I have had has: celery salt, peppers, tomatoes and a pickle. I've never been offered relish and it's most likely because relish is fuckin gross

[@alecariail6359]

Y’all make my days better with every episode. Every recipe I make from these videos have been nothing short of perfection. Love you guys, Keep up the good work

[@TheFrancoSHO]

The proper way to make a Chicago dog: - steamed Vienna Beef hot dog w/ celery salt! - Steamed S Rosen poppy seed hotdog bun - Topped with mustard, diced white onion, sliced tomato, sport peppers, kosher dill pickle and Vienna nuclear green Chicago style relish! Go White Sox!!!

[@igna83]

YAASSSSS! @TheFishingForum is right -- cook the hotdog in water, steam or on the grill - nestle it in a S Rosen poppy seed bun, "drag it though the garden" a/k/a yellow mustard, Vienna relish, onion, 2 tomato wedges, 1 kosher dill spear, 2 sport peppers and then, top with celery salt. I don't even live in Chicago--we're a couple hours South--but what's in my pantry at all times: sport peppers and Vienna relish!

[@markwernette1230]

@@igna83 Deli style refrigerated dill pickles or no sale. Normal dill pickle spears are something I never have had on a chicago dog. Grillo's makes a great pickle, though pricey.

[@KindaNewHere]

Good to see someone like a team that wins. :)

[@scottheim2633]

Sam- as a “Chicago guy,” I can endorse your Chicago dog…but, just 1 critical ingredient missing, the Celery salt. The salt has to be applied on the boiled dog, just as it’s placed in the bun. Overall, great effort and we all love your attention to the little details!

[@olaff4223]

Also cucumber slices.

[@HalpernFamilyFL]

It has been forever since I've been back home in Chicago, but I knew something was missing. Thanks for setting him and me straight

[@priscillablagaich7704]

@@olaff4223 never had a cucumber slice on my “Chicago hot dog “ not that I wouldn’t like it but not a traditional ingredient. Celery salt is definitely the only thing missing from Sam’s version and with that homemade poppy seeds bun I’m sure it was amazing!!!!

[@beckipietranek2847]

Sam. Follow up with fresh cut French Fries. Worked for several restaurants most were even national chains. French fries are by far the ultimate craftsmanship over any hot dog That you can put any topping on. Would love to hear your thoughts.. My son and I are a palled but it’s national advertising push for crinkle cut fries. They are freezer fries that require very little talent of any culinary ability to make.
