35. And don't forget: ingredients must be applied in a particular order

Jul 2017

or it ain't a Chicago dog. (We sometimes go to the source for a quick lunch: the Vienna Beef Company cafeteria itself, where the dogs are two for $5, with fries and a drink, and the workers wear hairnets.) Anyway, the prescribed (and inviolable) order is:

1. bun, poppy seed required
2. dog, all beef Vienna only
3. yellow mustard
4. neon green relish
5. chopped raw onion
6. tomato wedges
7. dill pickle spear
8. celery salt
