You can get away with putting bbq sauce on it. I know its a sneaky way of putting catsup, but you can pull it off

Or chili and mustard...mmmmm

My theory is that you can put anything you want on a hot dog as long as its accompaining mustard, AND if you could have it with only
one topping it would be mustard..... I have strong beliefs on mustard and hotdogs.

I do agree that if I had to choose just one topping, it would be mustard. But what kind of cheap hot dog vendor limits you to only one topping?!

I have been to a burger place that does not allow any toppings

Louis Lunch Clicky

The tiny eatery that made such a big impact on the eating habits of an entire nation was, of course, Louis' Lunch. Today, Louis' grandson, Ken, carries on the family tradition: hamburgers that have changed little from their historic prototype are still the specialty of the house. Each one is made from beef ground fresh each day, broiled vertically in the original cast iron grill and served between two slices of toast. Cheese, tomato and onion are the only acceptable garnish -- no true connoisseur would consider corrupting the classic taste with mustard or ketchup.

You will not find any mustard or catsup at this place. You maybe killed if you even ask

Want ketchup or mustard? Forget it. You will be told "no" in no uncertain terms. This is the home of the greatest hamburger in the world, claim the owners, who are perhaps best known for allowing their customers to have a burger the Lassen way or not at all.

I think they claim the first true hamburger sandwich. thousand island dressing on a burger or A-1 and mayo.

Hotdogs are acceptable with mustard unless you substitute nacho cheese. yellow mustard with soft pretzels

I saw some thing on the food network about this place, they claim to be the first hamburger (as BigJ noted)- it's true though, if the beef is good enough, you almost don't need anything on it besides the bun.

one part mustard, one part mayo to two parts ketchup is my perfect blend for a burger....1/4 inch slab of onion, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato and pickle.

But if they are good you can go with just cheese

Three parts catsup and one part A-1 Thick and Zesty (can substitute regular A1 or Worcestershire sauce) thoroughly mixed is what I like on burgers and for dipping fries.
Lettuce, tomato, bacon and cheese are good, but I agree a good burger plain is great and I often eat them that way.
Same with hotdogs and sausage. If they are good they don't require or deserve toppings

And really good bread can be eaten plain also.... I often skip the butter/margarine if the bread is exceptional.

Good point Grimp

Mmmmm...bread...
I tried this recently and have done it several times since, makes an amazing, bakery
quality round of crusty bread at home with minimal work, all you need is a heavy
pot or dutch oven...
