When I was a kid in the late 70s and even the early 80s, I don't recall any issue with putting ketchup on a hot dog. Most of the hotdog stands and burger joints I frequented could care less what you put on it once you paid for the item.
I suspect the Chicago Style Hot Dog was a marketing ploy and it got a little out of hand. Sure, you don't need ketchup because you have the tomato already. Just like if you are making Fettuccine alfredo, you don't use marinara sauce because that would be something else. [You are allowed to use a different pasta than Fettichine because Grandma Mary is too tired to go back to the store and hasn't made homemade pasta since child #4.]

Comments Encouraged! And the nice thing about this blog is that I rarely get spam so don't need to moderate the comments.
I've set the comments up to allow anonymous users -- but I'd love it if you "signed" your comments (as some of my readers have done) just so you have an identity of sorts.
