Top 10 Best Hot Dog Toppings
There are few things in this world as universally beloved as a good old-fashioned hot dog. Whether you're at a baseball game, a backyard BBQ, or just looking for a quick and easy snack, nothing hits the spot quite like a juicy, perfectly grilled hot dog.But let's be real, the hot dog itself is only half the battle. What really makes a hot dog truly great are the toppings. From classic standbys like ketchup and mustard to more adventurous options like chili and sauerkraut, the right toppings can take a hot dog from good to great in just a few bites.
Whether you prefer a classic dog with just a bit of ketchup and mustard or like to pile on the toppings until your hot dog is practically bursting at the seams, this list has got you covered. So go ahead, take a look, and get ready to spice up your next hot dog with the best toppings around.
Ketchup is the only thing I have on a hot dog. I'm a girl that likes plain food. Everything has to be plain.
You know, it's a topping lots of people like. It tastes really good too!
Definitely ketchup! Plain boring without it!
Mustard is the most common topping. Why is it number two?! Ketchup is basically artificial tomato paste, sugar, and corn syrup. Mustard is way better. Ketchup does not go well with it, and mustard does. It adds color to the hot dog, while ketchup takes away the flavor and makes it too sweet.
Mustard is my go-to for a great dog. Sauerkraut and relish must accompany it. The hot dog itself also must be a quality dog, not the typical supermarket brands. I prefer Don't Hot Dogs made by Bests Provisions.
I thought hardly anybody liked mustard, until I came here. I knew it would always be behind ketchup, though, unfortunately. I love my 'dog with just a little bit of this, not nasty sweet catsup!
They are so yummy, yummy in my tummy, tummy.
My husband loves them! I like grilled onions.
Yep. Onions are essential on hot dogs.
I love them hot off the grill with shredded cheddar and that red onion sauce. Best snack ever.
Cheese should be number 2 by a landslide.
A pickle on top? Especially a garlicky one? Simply awesome!
Take the time to make your own kraut. You won't be disappointed.
Always only sauerkraut and mustard. No other way for a dog to be eaten.
This is one of the four condiments when you buy hot dogs at Costco.

Unreplaceable! Countries without relish cannot understand the value of a hot dog if they've never tasted it with relish.
Ketchup and mustard suck! Relish is the only thing necessary.
People need to try this. I had an amazing dinner when I put Caesar salad dressing on my hot dog. The toppings mentioned are amazing alone or together.
Used to eat this as a kid, and it was so good.
If you do the coney, make sure it is Flint style.
Add onion-flavored cream cheese to your dog with coleslaw. Totally good and fresh!
Yes! Slaw, diced onions, and meat sauce... culinary perfection...
Not a great dog without slaw and onions.
Simply the best. Better than all the rest.
