To legally call your hot dog a CHICAGO HOT DOG or a CHICAGO STYLE HOT DOG, a poppy seed bun must cradle an all-beef hot dog, topped with chopped white onions, sweet green pickle relish, yellow mustard, a Claussen dill pickle spear or two, tomato slices, sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt. The condiments are presented in the build order to minimize the dribbles while eating.
