What are your favorite hot dog toppings? My tastes are simple, I usually eat my hot dogs with a line of ketchup, a line of mustard, and a scoop of sweet relish. If there is some chili around, I will add some of that along with some shredded cheese.

When you serve hot dogs, what sort of toppings to you offer your guests? Next time you have a barbecue, why not surprise and delight your guests by thinking outside the box when it comes to toppings. These toppings would also go well on hamburgers.
