When I was a kid (in the 19th century) my friends and I used to go to Comiskey Park to see the White Sox. We'd stop at Carl's Red Hots on Stony Island Avenue ( I think they're still there) on the way there to pick up a bag of Vienna jumbo kosher dogs. They were boiled, then put on a steamed poppy seed roll. You could "drag it through the garden" which meant putting on virtually any kind of veggie you wanted plus you could choose from about five kinds of brown mustard. They'd put it on a piece of white butcher paper and pour a huge amount of hand cut fries right out of the hopper all over the dog then wrap it up. Here's the best part - 25 cents! The weird part was that they carried only Nedlog (golden spelled backwards was their slogan) non-carbonated pop. We wouldn't buy any but wait until we got to the ballpark to get a Coke.
Man - I miss those days.
BTW - anyone who put ketchup on a hot dog was drawn and quartered.
