- then you put the grilled hot dog, blackened, in the middle, tucking it in on both side with 3 heaping teaspoonfuls of sweet relish on either side (6 tsp. total)
-followed by a squiggle of ketchup from one end of the hotdog to the other in the s squiggle
- sweet onions coarsely chopped and sprinkled over the ketchup squiggle

That's a Texas FIRST Tailgate recipe right there!

I prefer Dijon, Honey, and Yellow Mustards plus relish and a sprinkle of onion. If the dog is split open, then I'll fill the slit with Ketchup, but only if it's split.

Sounds like some strict religious ceremony

If we ever have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich thread, I'll walk you through those steps, too.

NOOOOOO.... Don't get me started, haha!

For me, all any hot dog needs is mustard, yellow, one squiggle. But I'm open minded about ketchup--that's a great choice for other people, and there should be no rules against it.

Story-- One year at the Championship, a lady was handing out strings of beads for her team, and managed to drag them through my mustard. So, an additional requirement--must have napkins with hot dogs. Even more important than having beverages.
