Chicago doesn’t have an insignificant Colombian population, so I can’t understand the rarity of the perro caliente, unless the prohibition on ketchup is so entrenched among the majority of hot dog eaters that those with more equatorial tastes in tube steak fear to leave the closet. If the Colombian hot dog makes Chicago’s garden on a bun look conservative in comparison, our minimalist Depression dog looks downright puritan. Here’s how they do it in the (way) south: a bun, a regular skinless wiener, and, layered on top, some combination of crushed potato chips, shredded chicken, honey, pineapple sauce, hard-boiled eggs, mustard, ketchup, and “pink sauce,” which is just ketchup mixed with mayo.
