It depends on the dog. But I would tend to agree to a point. Like with mustard there's a universal tendency to put too much on. A little bit can be nice.
Ketchup on hot dogs.

I would probably have gone with the sausages. Kielbasa tastes more like hot dogs, but won't fit in a hot dog bun.I have to admit that with all this talk of hot dogs I did go to the freezer to see if we have any for an afternoon snack. Alas, hot Italian sausage and kielbasa was the closest I could come up with so I settled for some pringles and cold coffee.
Use a crusty sub roll. That's the perfect bed for a kielbasa.
Our local hot dog stand gets rather arch if a customer asks for ketchup. They have it, but they'll shame you for asking for it. In the Northeast it just isn't done. The real accompaniment for a weenie is Gulden's mustard like God and Harry M. Stevens intended.
Maybe not on a Hot Dog, but on a Bockwurst sandwich!!
There's a burger chain here called The Habit Burger Grill that has the ketchup they use specially made for them...allegedly. I don't know if that's true, but their ketchup on their fries is the only time I use ketchup; otherwise, I can't stand the stuff....Our local hot dog stand gets rather arch if a customer asks for ketchup.

Not a mustard fan. As for my dogs, whatever I use must have some good heat to it when applied. Lately, have been using ketchup, but first I lay down a bead of horseradish sauce and then a bead of ketchup. Ketchup alone definitely wouldn't cut it.There's a burger chain here called The Habit Burger Grill that has the ketchup they use specially made for them...allegedly.

Gulden's Mustard isn't bad, but there are other "hot" mustard's I prefer if I'm in the mood. Mostly though, good old French's Yellow Mustard tops my list every time.
