Meanwhile, SeriousEats.com teamed up with Rachel Ray to come up with the best hot dog in America, and the winner was the Depression Dog from Gene & Jude's. Here's how SeriousEats.com describes the tasty meal:
"A Depression Dog features a regular-sized (eight per pound) natural casing all-beef frank instead of the jumbo (six per pound) dogs that often come on a standard Chicago dog. Steamed and served on a plain hot dog bun--no poppy seeds here--garnished with yellow mustard, onions, hot sport peppers, maybe some relish and always served with a giant mound of fresh cut, skin-on fries, either wrapped up with the hot dog or simply piled on top. Absolutely no pickles, giant slices of tomato, cucumber, lettuce, celery seed or ketchup.
In fact, Gene's & Jude's, probably the most well-known purveyor of the Depression Dog, doesn't even allow ketchup for the french fries. This might well be the birthplace of the anti-ketchup sentiment, along with Clint Eastwood's line in Dirty Harry about how ketchup on hot dogs is worse than crime and murder."
