In my opinion the best Chicago style hot dogs come from Gene and Jude's. They consist of:
1 thin natural casing Vienna all Beef hot dog
1 Simple bun, no seeds
Yellow mustard
Diced Onions
Relish
Sport peppers on request
Fresh cut fries piled on top.
Very simple, nothing else needed, and defiantly not Ketchup.

I like mine with lettuce and tomato, heinz 57 and french fried potatos.....oh wait....that's what I like on my cheesburger.
I like my Hot Dogs truly Chicago Style:
(1) I'm talking about an All-Beef Vienna Hot Dog. http://www.viennabeef.com/
(2) A fresh steamed S.Rosen poppyseed bun. http://www.thebestofchicago.com/productc...
(3) Gotta have mustard. Absolutley no ketchup. Some places in Chi-Town won't serve you if you ask for ketchup
(4) Raw diced onions
(5) neon green relish
(6) Sport Peppers
(7) Celery Salt
(8) Tomato
(9) A Pickle Wedge
For the absolute best hot-dog in the world go to Ira's in Northbrook, IL http://isfullofcrap.com/oldcrap/2005/09/...

A true Chicago style dog contains distinct ingredients and is dressed in a very specific order. Depending on who you ask, the hot dog wieners can be boiled, steamed, or grilled, but one thing seems to be agreed upon almost universally - do not put ketchup on it. Ever.
Ingredients:
100% beef hot dogs
Poppy seed bun
Yellow mustard
Sweet relish (of the neon green variety)
Freshly chopped onions
Dill pickle slice / spear
Tomato slices
Sport peppers
Dash of celery salt

Sigh. There is no such animal.
The story seems to be that a long time ago, a columnist by the name of Mike Royko did a piece in which he described how he liked his hot dogs done, and with his usual lack of understatement and humility described it as being THE way a Chicago hot dog should be done. Mike Royko being a very popular author, even if he was a well known pain in the backside, what he wrote got bounced around and quoted a lot. A small piece of fakelore was born.
Some while later, the Vienna Beef Company created an advertisement telling the story of the "garbage dog", traditionally made with a Vienna Beef (tm) wiener, using Royko's recipe, this ad being blown up into huge posters appearing in a number of fast food establishments in the tourist areas. This left almost everybody native to the region doubled over in laughter, at the very suggestion that we'd base a local cooking tradition on a specific brand. The ad copywriters were laying this one on thick. Surely nobody could be stupid enough to believe this, we thought?
Shame on us.
Those who live in a tourist zone should never doubt the power of stupidity, especially when it is combined with misplaced self-righteousness. A number of our tourists took the ad copy at face value, as if an ad poster were a historical document, and brought word of this culinary phenomenon back with them, where it became part of common knowledge, to be spread far and wide throughout cyberspace by indignant 18 year old "persons" who, knowing all, reacted with something bordering on rage to the very suggestion that the piece of common knowledge they picked up could be wrong, and this one is a whopper.
My family had lived in Chicago proper for some generations (well back into the 19th century) until *ahem* health concerns persuaded us to cut out for part of a generation, and until a certain site that anybody can edit started turning common misconceptions into dogma, none of us had heard of any traditional recipe for a Chicago hot dog that went beyond "steam it, have the guy top it with whatever you want, and pay the man, Joe".
Boring but true.

is a steamed or boiled all-beef, natural-casing hot dog on a poppy seed bun. It is topped with mustard, onion, sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices or wedges, sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt[1]; but not ketchup.
