Is This A Regional Thing?

All my life it's been the norm to order a hot dog "All The Way", which means it comes with mustard, slaw, chili, and onions. The question is whether it's just a regional term or pretty much nation wide. What say you?

Nation Wide.

Slaw + Chili on a hot dog?

 

[douggie]

I didn't say I liked a hot dog all the way. I usually don't get chili or onions. But I do like slaw. Cole slaw or BBQ slaw. Doesn't matter. But yellow mustard always. And some hot sauce like Texas Pete or Frank's Red Hot.

So just mustard and slaw? Or just the dog with slaw?

Yep, a hot dog with mustard and slaw, ohh, and hot sauce.

The phrase "all the way" is national, but what it means is regional. I can tell by your post that you live in NC or right across the border in a neighboring state. Completely different if you lived in Chicago.

Much like saying that you're eating BBQ. You'd likely be talking about pulled pork and depending upon which part of the state of NC you live, it'll be vinegar, mustard, or ketchup based. Memphis, Texas, Kansas City, etc would all have different meat/sauce.

Then there are the psychopaths that think that BBQ is grilling hotdogs or burgers. Those people just need to jump off a cliff.

My personal favorite hotdog is Jesse James with mustard, chilli, and onions. However, I'll eat most any style instead of Chicago, because that's a salad, not a hotdog.

Most of these posters haven't lived across the country. I'm a man of facts.

MD and NJ don't even touch.

I've never heard of such an abomination.

There are three permissible condiments to put on a brat or hotdog:

1 - Mustard
2 - Sauerkraut
3 - Onions

If you put ketchup on a brat or hotdog, and are older than 10, kill yourself.

also, I didn't make the claim that it is a "nation wide" thing.
