Chicago Dog Award
In this world there are 2 types of Chicago dogs.
There’s our Chicago dog….a furry, cuddly, lick-your-face-off Cocker Spaniel.
And then there’s the other type of Chicago Dog. The mouth-watering, lip-smacking, culinary delight. A hot dog with the perfect mix of ingredients: onions, tomatoes, relish, hot peppers, yellow mustard and a pickle, finished off with celery salt.
It’s a taste you just can’t find anywhere else.
There is, however, one topping that can never, ever be included on a true Chicago dog. No matter what, you can never top your Chicago dog with ketchup.
The “Chicago Dog: Everything But Ketchup” award salutes bloggers who have what I find to be just the right mix of ingredients…without any ketchup. Witty, smart, sassy & true-to-life! Sprinkle on a little sarcasm, and you’ve got yourself a true Chicago Dog award winner.
Post that hot dog on your sidebar with pride!
Brag to your friends!
And keep making this Chicago Girl proud!

In browsing your blog, I found this award & it made my mouth water. Any description of a Chicago dog instantly takes me back to my childhood.
It should be sacrireligious to even consider putting ketchup near a hot dog.
I am with Natalie on this one. Reading this made me hungry! Cool award! You definitely are an original, just like this hot dog
There is way too much thinking involved in blogging apparently. I need someone to do my thinking for me…are u available?
The best Chicago Dog I have had is from Portillos…Yum!
Grew up in Chicago and visit there often! Love, love, love teh Chicago Dog! Love Superdawg!!! I have found one Chicago Dog restaurant up here in MN…they have 3 places….tastes just like home!!! Love your blog!
Hi – I’m new here. Found you through my friend MamaMash! Looking forward to reading more. Love the name and idea of the Chicago Dog Award being “the right mix of ingredients”…very cool concept, and congrats to you for winning it!
I’m from Pittsburgh though…the birthplace of Heinz ketchup. It drives my husband KUH-RAY-ZY when I put ketchup on my hotdogs. But gimme a hotdog with ketchup and onions over a messy Chicago dog any day! Those roast beef dips at Portillos are pretty good, but yinz can keep your jacked up hotdogs.
