I've sat in restaurants and seen people order filet mignons well done and seen them eat them with ketchup. I don't care, because I didn't order that meal.

I work in a hotdog stand in chicago and no one gives a fuck if you get ketchup. You can even get mayo on it, mexicans love that shit. You probably just wen't to some shit tourist trap. Gene and Jude's is like this, it's gets all this praise from people outside the city, but truth is it's not a traditionally topped chicago style hotdog and they go ape shit about ketchup.

I lived in Chicago for a year, I got this one guys.

Chicago's "food culture" is based on junk food. Since they have a chip on their shoulder about the importance of their city, and since their self image is based on being "kind of like New York (sic) but in the midwest", they read reviews of new restaurants in the New York Times, look around desperately to find something to "keep up" with, and since they already blew their load yapping about Alinea and they know they're starting to sound repetitive, they attempt to extend their affectations to hot dogs and greasy mystery meat slapped on a hot dog bun with pickled jalapeños.

So you end up with the absurdity of people saying "oh you came here and didn't like the food? well you went to the wrong portillos, you need to go to the one on clark and randolph not the one on lake and belmont, you IDIOT of course you wouldn't like the italian beef, dumb tourist". Seriously, they actually get THIS snobby about their local junk food.

Ketchup generally is a shit condiment, it's basically disgustingly sweet sugar paste, at least the common Murican style of ketchup.
Best ketchup I've ever had was at a hole in the wall burger place, they had generic "fancy" ketchup packets which were extremely watery favoring the flavor of vinegar rather than sugar, that type of ketchup is god tier delicious.

The reason ketchup is a no-no is because on a traditional Chicago dog, there are fresh tomatoes on it. Ketchup is just a slap in the face to the dog. Would you put ketchup on a pizza OP?

>tomatoes on a hotdog

Looking at that picture, I've developed a theory.

It's said that hotdogs got their start back near 1870, either in St. Louis, New York, or Chicago. A Bavarian immigrant named Anton Ludwig Feuchtwanger is credited with first selling sausages in rolls. The idea to sell them in rolls actually came from his wife. Feuchtwanger originally sold sausages sans bun, and would provide customers with a pair of white gloves so they wouldn't burn their fingers. After repeatedly having his gloves stolen,his wife suggested the idea of using a bun.

1871 was the year of the Great Chicago Fire which destroyed a 4x1 mile strip of the city. This led to an industrial revolution in the city, with 77% of the population in 1900 being foreign born. Most of these people were employed in construction and thus, had low paying jobs.

Most people attribute the first hotdog to the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Chicago at this time was full of construction workers and their families, they were looking for a cheap way to eat. Sausage stays fresh longer than fresh meat and is generally cheaper. Adding peppers, pickles, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and a bun made the dish a full meal.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, American ideologies were at a culmination. The Great Depression, the Gilded Age and the Progressive Era, all of these led to a mistrust of the American public towards large corporations and monopolies. There was a resurgence of traditionalist ideals and methods of living, specifically, nearing the 1920's. Not only was Chicago pivotal in the role of industrial America, but of American culture. During these times in Chicago, a majority of the populace was poor and in need of food, some of the most iconic photos of bread lines during the Great Depression come from Chicago.

A tomato based Ketchup first appeared in 1801, published in The Sugarhouse Book. Heinz first sold ketchup in 1876.

Condiments at that time were considered a luxury, you only bought what you could afford in those days.

I hypothesize that ketchup on hotdogs developed out of a new middle-class America, born out of the industrial boom of the the early 20th century. Hotdogs never had "fancy" condiments on them back when they were exclusively eaten by poor, working class construction workers. This disposition to condiments has leaked into the 21st century and has taken root in the foundations of Chicago/Hotdog culture.

Only disgruntled, disillusioned, poor people from large cities complain about ketchup on Hotdogs.

Anywhere you got a hot dog that didn't have ketchup was a touristy place that refuses to serve ketchup SPECIFICALLY so that people can go back home and have a fun story about how they didn't even HAVE ketchup at the hot dog stands in Chicago, can you believe it?! What a place, that Chicago!
Because if you went there and wanted ketchup and were allowed ketchup, you'd go home thinking that Chicago was just like any other place, and where you could have all the ketchup you wanted, and you would correct people who mistakenly thought Chicago was any different from any other city in that respect.

There's such a vast gulf between perceptions of Chicago by outsiders and the way people here actually are, especially the things people actually eat. Maybe we eat more Italian beef, maybe we eat more deep-dish. But it's such a misunderstood city.
People think it's cold here all the time, too. "Chicago's winters are long and harsh, and the summers are so short that residents have to take advantage of them with every chance they get!"
Fucking, COULD NOT BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. The winters are long and bitterly cold and harsh, true. I love that. But the summers are long, and EVIL, incredibly humid. I hate them. Chicago's weather, to the world, is bitter and cold. But Chicago's weather, to Chicago, is notoriously unpredictable, totally erratic, and extreme on both ends of the scale. Two totally different stereotypes based on who you're talking to. It's a midwestern city.

as a rule of thumb seasoning enhances flavor, not overrides it. (seasoning is the application of putting salt in something). if by condiments and flavoring in general, usually its acceptable if the food serves more as a canvas than a paint. for example, talapia is mild and flavorless, perfect for marinading and changing its flavor. if you are working with something quality, you can season and spice, but be careful not to apply things that will overtake instead of enhance its base flavor. for example. putting pepper or fennel in a nice sausage doesn't obscure its flavor.

That's it. I'm sick of all this "fedoras are bad" bullshit that's going on in the 4chan-reddit feedback loop right now. Fedoras deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.

I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine fedora in 1950s New York for $92 US Dollars (that's about $740 in today's money) and have been wearing it for almost 2 seasons now. I can even cut through a microburst with my fedora.

Borsalino hatters spend years working on a single fedora and fold it up to four times to produce the finest hats known to mankind.

Fedoras are thrice as sharp as baseball caps and thrice as warm for that matter too. Any meteorological condition a baseball cap can be worn through, a fedora wears better. I'm pretty sure a fedora could easily bisect Niagara Falls in the rainy season with a simple diagonal tip.

Ever wonder why today's youth never bothered with elegant menswear from more a more civilized age? That's right, they were too intellectually intimidated to debate matters of science and reason with the classy gentlemen and their fedoras of distinction. Even in the Trad Revival, American simpletons scorned the gentlemen with the fedoras first because their class and freethinking ways were feared and respected.

So what am I saying? Fedoras are simply the best mens hat that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the 4chan-reddit feedback loop.

There's a place like that in San Diego. It's literally called "Dicks". They throw your napkins, menus, and utensils at you rather than placing them on the table.

Went there one time and asked for a soda refill midway through my meal. The lady took my cup, went to refill it, and then slammed it on the table spilling like two thirds of it. It was an unusual experience.

I wouldn't be this much of a dick about it, but the way I see it there's no reason why a hot dog vendor would need to provide ketchup. it's like an ice cream parlor needing to provide honey: I mean sure, SOMEONE probably likes honey on their ice cream, but it's not a standard ingredient.

Butterscotch, fudge, mallow, fruits, nuts, sprinkles, whipped cream, etc. Principles, principles, principles.

Yes, ketchup and mustard and the like is pretty standard. It'd be like going to a Chinese Restaurant, and begin refused soy sauce.

Also, the vendor's point is that putting ketchup on a hotdog is sinful. It's not a matter of refusing him the ketchup because he doesn't just carry it. The vendor refused the OP ketchup because it was blasphemy to put on a hotdog. He berates and lectures a foreigner with vituperative language as he hocks a tube of smashed pigs assholes.

>It'd be like going to a Chinese Restaurant, and begin refused soy sauce.
In the principle of Chinese cooking, soy sauce is a cooking ingredient and not a condiment. If you asked a waitress for some soy, she'd look at you funny and take it to mean you think the food is underseasoned garbage.

Ketchup is a condiment for hotdogs.

In American Chinese cuisine, soy sauce also goes on after the food is done.

Regardless, you somehow set up some wacky strawman (lol there's that word again) in which roasted pepper and garlic aioli on a sandwich is somehow tantamount to ketchup on a hotdog. It's not.

Also, you seem to be ignoring the main point, OP gets abused for asking for ketchup. Not politely refused. Not given an alternative. Not 'gee mister, sorry bout that'.
