I made this recipe over the weekend to take to our neighborhood pub that serves free hotdogs to their patrons. I thought maybe some folks would enjoy something other than catsup, mustard, relish and raw chopped onion to top their dogs. It was liked by some and disliked by others. I'm somewhat in the middle. The onions were okay, but I don't know if I will order a hotdog from a vendor, if I ever make it to NYC again. Thank you for posting an alternative to the norm. (Made for PAC 2014)
