Ingredients
- 4 natural casing all-beef franks
- 4 fresh hot dog buns
- 1 small white onion, finely chopped
- 8 jarred sport pickled peppers (or sub pickled hot peppers)
- Homemade Bread and Butter Relish, for serving, recipe follows
- Yellow mustard, for slathering
- Hand Cut Fries with Celery Salt, for serving, recipe follows
Directions
Set up a large pot with a steamer insert and steam the franks until warm, about 5 minutes. When the franks are almost done, place the buns on top of the franks to steam, 1 to 2 minutes. Place the franks in the buns and top each with some of the onions, 2 peppers, some Homemade Bread and Butter Relish and slather with mustard. To serve, top the franks with a handful of Hand Cut Fries with Celery Salt, wrap each frank in foil and let steam, 2 to 3 minutes, before eating. Eat on the towel-lined trunk of a car.
Homemade Bread and Butter Relish:
- 1 cup bread and butter pickles, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon pickled cherry peppers, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Combine the pickles, peppers and sugar in a bowl and mix well. Serve. Yield: 1 cup.
Hand Cut Fries with Celery Salt:
- Vegetable oil
- 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed
- Celery salt, for sprinkling
Fill a 6-quart heavy pot or Dutch oven two-thirds of the way full with oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
Cut the potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick sticks. Fry the potatoes in batches, until golden brown, 8 minutes per batch. Transfer the potatoes with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with celery salt and serve immediately.

I'm usually not a big fan of hotdogs. However watching your show today while you made those Chicago Style Hot Dogs with Homemade relish certainly inspired me to try your version of them. Picked up some great recipes today and love the great sense of humor with every recipe you make. Thanks a whole bunch.

As usual Jeff's meals are awesome! This Chicago style hot dog meal is great. The only thing I don't understand is the "pile on the french fries" and then roll them up... which kinda defeats the purpose of frying them crispy - but then it's part of the deal. Wrapping the dog in the paper is important. It kinda gets all the steam and moisture and flavors mingling even more. Very Good!
