Instructions

Step 1: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly brush 6 all-beef hot dogs with 1 tbsp vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Grill the hot dogs for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is slightly charred and hot throughout.
Step 3: While grilling, steam 6 poppy seed hot dog buns by wrapping them in foil and placing on the grill for the last 2 minutes.
Step 4: Assemble each dog by placing a grilled hot dog in a steamed bun, spreading 1 tbsp yellow mustard and 1 tbsp bright green sweet pickle relish evenly over each.
Step 5: Add 1 tbsp finely chopped white onions, 1 tomato wedge, 1 dill pickle spear, 1 sport pepper, and sprinkle 1/6 tsp celery salt on top. Serve immediately for an authentic Chicago taste.
