2 medium ripe tomatoes
16 sport bell peppers or 16 pepperoncini peppers
yellow mustard
¹⁄₂ cup finely chopped yellow onion (I use my food processor to get the right chop)
¹⁄₂ cup sweet pickle relish
celery salt
8 beef hot dogs (Vienna beef are best)

directions

Prepare your grill for grilling.
Cut each tomato crosswise into 1/4-inch slices, then cut each slice in half to make half moons.
Grill the hot dogs until browned, 4-5 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time.
Just before serving, split the buns and grill them, cut side down until toasted, about 30 seconds.
Place a hotdog in each bun; tuck tomato slices between each hotdog and bun, add two peppers, one on each side of each hotdog.
Spread a generous amount of mustard on top of each dog and scatter about one T each of onion and pickle relish over each; finish with a generous dash of celery salt and serve!

I used to eat hotdogs like this years ago and loved them. Good news: they are still wonderful. This recipe is kind of a fun way to enliven a pretty standard food. Make srue the onions are really well chopped or the taste can be sort of over powering. Thanks!

OH YES!!! Right off the lunch cart on Michigan Avenue by the park!!. I had almost forgotten about the celery seeds, but I do remember that my vendor gave the dogs a shot of olive oil. Thank You, My Dear .. it has been a long time. Bill
