hey it's their restaurant. They serve only Chicago Dogs and top only with some, none, or all Chicago toppings. The McDonald's used to get people from Gene and Jude's asking for Ketchup. Now they charge $.25 per packet.
The whole NEVER PUT KETCHUP ON A HOT DOG thing will never cease to baffle me.
It is a condiment people put on hot dogs.
Why does it matter to anyone in Chicago or anywhere else if people put ketchup on their hot dog?
And this isn't a playful hehehe "I'm just kidding around" thing.... people get militant about ketchup on hot dogs.
Honestly there are people in Chicago who get as militant about ketchup on hot dogs as if it were abortion or *** marriage or some other social wedge issue.
IT IS A CONDIMENT ON A HOT DOG
