The hotdog is quite possibly the best food in the entire world. I personally hold it up there with lobster and spaghetti.

This next bit is going to be a twist on another kind of dog. THE CHICAGO STYLE BRAT. If this doesn’t fit in the family barbeque of a Sunday afternoon nothing does. It is important to follow the steps in order.

Boil in beer or grill on the barbeque the brat. Don’t need to toast the bun but, can if you want to. Put your brat in the hot dog bun put on your mustard. I use two lines of mustard one up and one back.

Next is onions chopped. Put on as many as you like. The mustard will help keep them on the dog. Slice your tomatoes. Cut them in a wedge so you can put two wedges of tomato on the brat. Break out the pickle spears. One or two pickles spears is what you want. Put them on the dog long ways.

Finally here comes the secret. Celery salt, three shakes of it or more to your liking. But you are going to notice the celery salt is the secret. Throw on a couple of yellow hots and you got a real genuine Chicago style brat. It isn't done right if the stuff isn't falling off while you take your bites. Enjoy.
