Ingredients

  • 4 Vienna Beef frankfurters (natural casing preferred)

  • 4 poppy seed hot dog buns

  • Yellow mustard

  • 1/4 cup neon green sweet hot dog relish

  • 1/2 cup white onion, finely chopped

  • 1 medium tomato, cut into thin wedges or slices

  • 4 dill pickle spears

  • 8-12 sport peppers

  • Celery salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Simmer the franks: Bring a pot of water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the beef franks and heat for 5-7 minutes until plump.

  2. Steam the buns: Place the poppy seed buns in a steamer basket over simmering water for 1 minute until warm and soft.

  3. Assemble: Place a hot dog in each steamed bun.

  4. Add condiments: Squeeze yellow mustard in a zigzag pattern. Spoon neon green relish alongside the mustard.

  5. Add veggies: Top with chopped white onions. Tuck tomato slices between the bun and the hot dog on one side.

  6. Add crunch: Place a dill pickle spear on the opposite side of the tomatoes. Top with 2-3 sport peppers.

  7. Finish: Sprinkle generously with celery salt. Serve immediately! (No ketchup allowed!).
