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.
