To My Chi-Town Peeps (and/or anyone else with Chi-Town knowledge)

Jan 20, 2009 17:19

Can someone explain to me why I can down a full order of nachos smothered in jalapenos with no issues, but one friggin' Chicago Dog and my stomach feels like the fucking Alien is trying to escape? WTF kind of pepper is that? I'm freaking dying over here! I've taken 3 packs of Alka-Seltzer and still feel like Tyson gut-punched me ( Read more... )

Vienna beef hotdog, neon relish, poppy seed bun, mustard, celery salt, diced onions, 1 tomato wedge. . .

Shouldn't be any pepper in there, unless they threw on some giardiniare (sp. most likely).

Some places add peppers on. . .I know some of the chains that offer a Chicago style hot dog always add on peppers.

Any real Chicago hot dog joint doesn't add peppers, last time I checked.

It's not giardiniare, I don't believe. Two whole small green peppers. They don't go on a real Chicago Dog?

Those are sport peppers. An official option but not mandatory, my wife tells me.

She's been here much longer than me.

You probably had someone who didn't use a Vienna Beef . . ..either that or you're a pussy :-p

buddhamike January 21 2009, 01:47:02 UTC

Nope, they advertise as using Vienna Beef. It's these two small whole green peppers they put on the dog.

A couple sport peppers have you down? Damn, man. . . .tho the Chicago hot dog does funny things to the body.

After about five, two slices of pizza and a couple polish at a Sox game two years ago, I spent the 3rd, 4th and 5th innings of the double header in the toilet.

I know! I don't get it. I can eat whole fresh jalapenos without flinching. I've even bit into a habanero once on a bet. I'm a heat junkie. But these sport peppers? They must come from the garden of Satan himself. 18 hours later and my stomach still feels unsettled.

Man...you are well on your way to the Flaming Hoop, if you're not there all ready.

buddhamike January 21 2009, 12:43:14 UTC

No, it was more like needing to belch but being unable to.

Those are pickled jalapeno peppers without the seeds removed. Without the seed, you can eat all you want.

Pretty dog, though.

buddhamike January 21 2009, 04:27:02 UTC

I'm from Texas. Trust me, those are not jalapenos. I can eat a whole jar of jalapenos solo with no issues. Those two little bastards, however, have me laid up like a dysentery patient.

vickyunleashed January 22 2009, 02:54:33 UTC

Hmmm. I dunno. Every time I've bought pickled jalapenos, that's what they looked like. But labels are not reliable, so who knows WHAT I've been eating?!?!

In any case, they're afterburners.

Sport peppers, yep. Filled with pickled pepper juice, concentrated evil. Full of awesome. Serve on a Vienna Firedog for extra scorch.

buddhamike January 21 2009, 04:28:43 UTC

Sport peppers. I now have the name of my nemesis.
