Even at 8am they were impossible to resist! So hot dogs and cinnamon rolls for breakfast it was!
HERE IS the recipe for a Chicago Hot Dog.
To build it correctly, the ingredients must be layered in a specific order, traditionally starting with the meat and nesting the toppings around it:
The Bun: A high-quality poppy seed bun. It must be steamed, never toasted.
The Sausage: An all-beef frankfurter (traditionally Vienna Beef) with a natural casing so it has that signature "snap" when you bite into it. It is usually simmered, never grilled.
The Mustard: Yellow mustard, squiggled directly onto the sausage.
The Relish: A very specific, neon-bright sweet green relish.
The Onions: Freshly chopped white onions.
The Tomatoes: Two thin wedges (or half-slices) tucked between the sausage and the bun.
The Pickle: A crisp, kosher dill pickle spear nestled right alongside the frank.
The Peppers: Two or three whole sport peppers (small, pickled, and packing a sharp, vinegary heat) placed on top.
The Finishing Touch: A generous shake of celery salt over the entire masterpiece.
In Chicago, putting ketchup on a hot dog is considered a minor felony. The city's hot dog stands are legendary for refusing to even keep it on the counter.

The line for cinnamon rolls grows quite long as the market gets busier! They are a popular market item. It was the first time I had them and they were delicious.
Rubarb and radishes were some of the only produce available for sale this early in the season.
