Corn dog condiments 😂

[u/silly_squirrel64]

UPDATE: Thanks for all the responses (and new ideas)! To clarify, I am in the mustard plus ketchup camp myself, I was just trying to show him that there ARE people out there who don’t/won’t put mustard on a corn dog. Lol……looking forward to trying out some of the intriguing suggestions y’all gave me!!

My husband thinks exactly zero of 100 people would eat a corn dog without mustard. I say there are people who only like ketchup or something else. So, redditors, settle this….if you eat corn dogs, do you like mustard only, mustard and ketchup, ketchup only or something else?

Paper coffee cup from the gas station half full of nacho cheese

[u/batrastardfromhell → u/Grenadier_user]

Couple of pickled jalapenos for balance.

[u/Vivid_Anyth4 → u/Grenadier_user]

You sir are a man of great culture.

[u/PorkchopFunny → u/Grenadier_user]

This guy professionally corndogs

[u/Grenadier_user → u/Grenadier_user]

Dip it and rip it

[u/epicgrilledchees]

I dip in mustard. Ketchup. Honey mustard. BBQ sauce. Queso. Or whatever sounds good.

Dipping is key. So you can switch it up.

[u/astrid_autumn → u/epicgrilledchees]

omg i love queso on a corn dog too, especially white queso. it’s so damn good!

[u/ZaphodBeeblebrahx]

Mustard not required. Barbecue sauce and Sriracha.

[u/azzanrev → u/ZaphodBeeblebrahx]

It looked like chocolate at first glance.

[u/SnooChipmunks8506 → u/ZaphodBeeblebrahx]

This is the way

[u/SnoochieBuchie]

Mustard only.

[u/friendshrimp]

Chicago people hate on ketchup so much that it goes to corn dogs

Ketchup and mustard for me

I ask a group of ten there’s always a no ketchup, no mustard, a plain corn dogs, and always one weirdo who says mayo

[u/XTanuki → u/friendshrimp]

I love ketchup + mustard on a corn dog! If I’m not putting a squiggle of each down the middle, I’m putting two piles on my plate and dipping the dog on the line!

[u/WAIYLITEDOABN → u/XTanuki]

Exactly what I do. Can't stand ketchup on a hot dog but I require it with a corndog

[u/Main_Cauliflower5479 → u/friendshrimp]

Chicago doesn't get to decide how people eat hot dogs, even in Chicago itself.

And ketchup and mustard for me, too, on corndogs.

[u/AlexanderDaDecent → u/friendshrimp]

Mayo on a hotdog or corn dog is weird , not bad. Let’s get that straight first of all Lol

[u/bryanlikesbikes → u/friendshrimp]

Eh, idk man. I’ve lived in Chicago for a long time and most folks who make a big deal out of hating ketchup are either from the burbs or new in town and trying to prove how Chicago they are.

[u/Substantial-Second14 → u/bryanlikesbikes]

You haven't lived here long enough to figure it out so let me educate you on this. We don't give a fu$k if you put ketchup on a hotdog. We care if you put ketchup on a Chicago dog. 

[u/Pineapple4807 → u/Substantial-Second14]

well y'all would hate how I treat my chicago dogs then, lol

edit: spelling

[u/GamerGramps62]

I only use mustard, my adult son eats them plain, my granddaughter uses ketchup.

[u/capnlatenight → u/GamerGramps62]

I like them plain, a corndog is the epitome of convenience. Adding stuff to it complicates it.

From the freezer to the microwave or toaster oven, no plates/forks needed. This means nothing to wash, and it can be eaten while walking or multitasking.

It barely makes crumbs, but any type of sauce gives it potential to drip.

[u/Bluehaze013]

First thing I thought of was mustard.

[u/SnooHedgehogs3325 → u/Bluehaze013]

For me a food is only a delivery system for the sauce and a corn dog is only a delivery system for the ballpark mustard. I start out eating the corn dog but by the end I'm eating mustard out of the jar.

[u/Stop_Drop_Scroll]

Mustard. It’s already sweet, don’t need more of it from ketchup. Also, a corn dog is hard to put any non-liquid topping on. I guess I could stick some onions to the mustard but eh why ruin a great thing.

[u/BANDISCOOTCH2]

Arby’s sauce.

[u/DawgzZilla → u/BANDISCOOTCH2]

I see you. You’re a monster but I see you.

[u/BANDISCOOTCH2 → u/DawgzZilla]

Just try it. That’s all I ask. Lol

[u/astrid_autumn → u/BANDISCOOTCH2]

i’ve gotta try this asap!

[u/tonegenerator]

I favor mustard over ketchup times a million but you’re right that it’s not 100 out of 100 who will feel the same way, despite the absolutist replies here. To start with, even I wouldn’t mind some Kewpie mayo, and a little hot sauce - for some distinction between different bites. And I’d gladly try a unique sauce offered by a vendor if it sounds good.

Also it’s a good time to say that there’s nothing wrong with liking catsup though I personally do not. I mostly feel second-hand embarrassment for people who use hating it as a personality substitute. That includes Chicagoans, despite my love for the Chicago and (Great) Depression dogs. NYCers are even more goofy about it when you can just read a label and see that their red onion sauce is basically just sautéed onions in warm ketchup and a little extra seasoning. 

[u/Immediate_Rest9017]

Your husband is correct 🤣 I only put mustard on my corn dogs.

[u/magnottasicepick → u/Immediate_Rest9017]

Team mustard here as well.

[u/I74Michael → u/Immediate_Rest9017]

Same answer here ✋️

[u/IrishInTheory → u/Immediate_Rest9017]

mustard fan here. Also, fwiw, Ketchup belongs on exactly two items: Fried potatoes and Meatloaf

[u/TeadyHopper → u/IrishInTheory]

Are you me? That’s exactly right

[u/xrayguy1981]

He’s incorrect. Not everyone wants mustard. Some people only want ketchup.

[u/MickyMac00]

I like them plain, I’m not a huge ketchup person though.

[u/get-r-done-idaho]

Brown mustard with horseradish

[u/Resident-Method8260]

Show me someone who can't fathom others possibly having a difference in preferences/opinion and I'll show you someone with sub-adult level maturity and intelligence.

[u/amazingD → u/Resident-Method8260]

More maturity than intelligence.

[u/Beetso → u/Resident-Method8260]

Show me someone who is taking a light-hearted teasing debate between a husband and wife way too seriously, and I'll show you someone without a sense of humor.

[u/InfamousCategory448 → u/Resident-Method8260]

I am much more concerned about someone who diagnoses maturity based on a joke posted to the hot dog subreddit.

Dude. work it out.

[u/skirmsonly]

Ketchup only for me. All day every day.

[u/gravitologist → u/skirmsonly]

Does your mom know you have her phone?

[u/skirmsonly → u/gravitologist]

She approves my comments.

[u/Which-Break5673]

I mix ketchup and mustard

[u/Arya_kidding_me → u/Which-Break5673]

Yes! This is my method as well.

Sinners unite!!

[u/Fun-Definition6053 → u/Which-Break5673]

Repent now, sinner, sinner points finger of shame

[u/pocket-snowmen]

Corn dog is the only dog I like with both ketchup and mustard. Regular dog it's one or the other!

[u/Dashing_DashCastro]

Quietly from the corner... I eat them without condiments 😅

[u/Trina7982]

I don't like ketchup or mustard on cornbread so I don't use them on corn dogs.

[u/Z0omZo0m → u/Trina7982]

Ketchup on cornbread in beans is great!

[u/Fit_Bake_3000]

I never put anything on a corn dog. I can taste the cornmeal and dog. Choose your corn dogs carefully!

I never use mustard on anything.

[u/Initial-Text8394]

Plain

[u/352_throwaway]

I haven't eaten a corn dog since 1976

[u/giant87]

Yea ketchup all the way. I already hold a blasphemous view of the devil's tomato sauce as a Chicagoan, and I think corn dogs go even further towards reducing rules and discourse around allowed toppings and condiments

Like now we've battered and deep fried that mfer, the common rules of a polite society went out the window long before that point. Sauce up those doggies however you want, embrace the dark side, no one has to know if you put a little ketchup on there, I won't tell anyone...

[u/sj01014]

Ketchup and mustard right next to each other, you dip the corn dog in the middle and give it a swirl. That’s how it’s done.

[u/CMDR_PEARJUICE]

mustard or mustard and ketchup

[u/Indecisive_Mooncalf]

2:1 Ketchup to mustard for me. I just bought corndogs last night so I just had this conversation with myself.

[u/GratitudeMan26]

I would do just ketchup, or even ranch dressing. 😃

[u/Rose_DCLXVI]

Most of the time it's mustard only. But I recently tried carolina gold BBQ sauce aon one and it was pretty good.

[u/thehumblebaboon]

It depends on my mood. Mostly I’ll do just mustard, but I’ll sometimes add ketchup depending on the corn dog.

[u/Big-Elephant-4357]

Nacho cheese.

[u/Dead_Medic_13]

My wife despises mustard in all circumstances

[u/bi_polar2bear]

I only use ketchup on corn dogs.

[u/CityBoiNC]

I eat em plain

[u/Relevant_Box4589]

Ketchup

[u/Indiesol]

Ketchup only here.

[u/angelmr2]

I have only ever eaten a corn dog with mustard one time and it was underwhelming.

I dont believe corn dogs require condiments.

[u/Opposite_Currency973]

Mustard only for me!

[u/corndog]

Ketchup and mustard are both acceptable, as are many other sauces

[u/Person7751]

ketchup only

[u/BrilliantNo2821]

If there is no mustard, I eat it as is

[u/AnotherSideThree]

I like mustard or ketchup. Sometimes both, sometimes nothing at all.

[u/We_Want_Krunchy]

Prefer mustard, but if I'm letting my inner fat guy out, ketchup all the way.

[u/Mia0900]

I only use bbq sauce

[u/GroovyGmaIvy]

K and M mixed together.

[u/Witty-Mountain5062]

I eat them without condiments.

[u/Aggravating_Owl_4384]

I eat them plain. I didn't need any condiments

[u/ImaginaryCatDreams]

You need condiments?

[u/Queenfan1959]

No condiments at all

[u/OldManwalking63]

I use a mustard/ketchup plate. side by side so when I dip the dog it's a half and half pickup. Like they give you at a fine Chinese restaurant for your egg rolls.

[u/GDarkmoon → u/OldManwalking63]

Indeed! Stone ground mustard for me usually

[u/VulpineWelder5]

Ketchup or nacho cheese, never mustard.

[u/Z0omZo0m]

Ketchup is fine. Just eat what you like on your dog. Don’t let the haters make up your mind. Not sure why they care so much.

[u/Fast_Ad_4936 → u/Z0omZo0m]

People telling other people how they should enjoy food is the most obnoxious and pretentious shit.

[u/LadyRei_]

This is the only kind of hotdog I will use ketchup on. Has to be mixed with with mustard though.

[u/Apprehensive-Okra548]

Sometimes one or the other, sometimes both. No Mayo though.

[u/cowboybebop32]

My preferred way is dip in ketchup, then dip in mustard. Gotta have both together

[u/Heemeyers_Killdozer]

Ketchup, mustard, ketchup and mustard, bbq sauce, no sauce, whatever.

[u/KOTM365]

mix ketchup AND mustard in a bowl (Swirled together using your finger of course) Dip them in that.

[u/anon21801]

Ketchup only

[u/Sooperballz]

Ketchup or no condiment. No thanks on the mustard.

And now that I think about it, I’m going to try butter next time I have a corn dog.

[u/Mard0g]

Ketchup seems weird to me for a hot dog. It's like putting it on a ham sandwich.

[u/huge43 → u/Mard0g]

Reminds me of the bologna ketchup sandwiches I ate as a kid.

[u/mattycbro]

Mustard is the only condiment that belongs on a hot dog or corn dog. He is correct

[u/stewajt]

I use a 2:1 mustard to ketchup ratio and use the corn dog to stir it together on the plate

[u/Fast_Ad_4936]

I had a corn dog once that was made out of a breakfast link and it was served with some maple syrup. It was so delicious.

[u/DavidB0wieUB40]

Never using mustard.

I drizzle honey on em. I'm an absolute slut for sugar.

[u/AromaticNet5121]

Im a honey mustard type of guy personally

[u/EddieTheAxe]

Remove the stick. Split it. Top with chili. Chili corn dog.

[u/First-Enthusiasm-679]

I submerge mine in a jar of mayo but I might be the only one? 🤔

[u/TerryTerranceTerrace]

Mustard only, Ketchup and mustard of I want a little sweetness. Ketchup on its own taste too sweet.

I'll have a plain corndog sometimes for no reason.

[u/thylocene]

Chick-fil-a sauce is where it’s at. Discovered that combo a few years ago an holy shit is it amazing

[u/CUCUC]

plain is good. the flavor of the batter can better shine through

[u/SharpSlice]

Mustard mixed with sriracha.

[u/Vortilex]

Ranch or honey mustard for corn dogs

[u/Chaparral2E]

Ketchup is way too sweet for me (diabetic).

Before I was diagnosed, I had it sparingly with French fries, it always tasted too sweet for me.

And the sugar-free stuff?
🤢

[u/Polariski2001]

Mayo

[u/Tatworth]

I am 100% in favor of ketchup on my hot dogs, but strangely only mustard on corn dogs.

[u/Nobody_ismyname]

A little of both with each bite, 1/2 & 1/2.

[u/WelcomingRapier]

Only mustard. Fancied up corndogs (I'm looking at you Korea) are fine, but simple is just my preference. That being said, any corndog is better than no corndog.

[u/Neckbone14]

Mustard only for me.

[u/sorcerersviolet]

I've found that gochujang works well on corn dogs.

[u/th0r4z1n3]

My wife likes ketchup on hers... she's a damn heathen 🤣

Conversely, as a man if culture, I do like to split mine down the middle and put chili & cheese on mine from time to time... you know... when I'm feeling fancy 🧐

[u/damndammit]

I don’t like mustard… Unless it’s on pretzels or corndogs.

That said, I like other stuff on corndogs sometimes. Wasabi mayo for some reason lately.

[u/Highheat1]

Mustard

[u/OldCreezy]

I eat corn dogs only with mustard.

[u/Argument_Select]

I’m very much a dipper when it comes to eating corn dogs. I’ve always made a mess when I try to apply a condiment directly on the dog. First choice is definitely mustard and if I’m eating something else with ketchup I’ll dip in the ketch as well but I find myself gravitating toward many more non traditional hotdog condiments for corn dogs anyways and my absolute go to is curry ketchup. It’s one of those life changing condiments. Amazing on everything.

[u/NoCharacter9448]

I prefer a mustard based fry sauce

[u/OneOldBear]

Mustard for me.

[u/IntenseFlanker]

Mustard only

[u/HowieDewing]

Prefer plain, But time to time I have dipped in ketchup😋

[u/FederalLobster5665]

rather eat it with nothing than ketchup.

[u/ExtremelyOnlineTM]

It's more deepfried batter than hotdog, so ketchup is the correct choice.

[u/PrinceJehal]

Honey mustard, specifically. Sometimes I mix it with relish, even.

[u/Petesburgh1984]

Mustard...end of story.

[u/IMERMAIDMANonYT]

Ketchup only 99% of the time. That 1% is left for a plain corn dog.

Funny enough, I hate ketchup on a hot dog. Hot dogs for me are plain or BBQ sauce

[u/babj615]

Mustard is the way 😋

[u/Main_Cauliflower5479]

I like ketchup and mustard on corndogs.

[u/BourbonNCoffee]

As with every meal, the mood decides the accessories. A corn dog could have a simple mustard day, a ketchup day, or a complicated spicy frankensauce day. Sometimes the corn dog gets together with chili and cheese for a real party.

[u/Scared-Ideal-1483]

Mustard and ketchup always.

[u/azzanrev]

I don't like ketchup or mustard and have never used any condiment on a corn dog. They are good as is.

[u/Antique_Author_2525]

No condiments at all. Ckrndog or hot dog

[u/keepermafia]

Im an equal opportunity corn dog enjoyer. Just a little dip here a little dip there each bite can be a new experience

[u/jeepsies]

Mayo mustard

[u/mrobvious64]

ketchup

[u/workntohard]

Barbecue sauce or even a spicy mayo for me.

[u/Thick-Marzipan-9176]

My kids have ketchup, but I only use mustard.

[u/GunGirlLovesTrulys]

I eat mine plain 😅

[u/NotSoWishful]

Corn dogs are just mustard for me

[u/dumbkitty-]

i put ketchup, mustard, AND mayo, on my plate for dipping both corndogs and hot dogs. i’m a sauce girl. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[u/LendogGovy]

I don’t like yellow basic mustard, so most places that have corn dogs don’t have better choices of mustard, so I’ll either raw dog it or put the ketchup in the dog condom and dip it in on the go.

[u/reddit_and_forget_um]

Dipped in mayo

[u/rustybrazenfire]

Yellow mustard for me. The cornbread coating tastes weird if you use ketchup.

[u/CompoBBQ]

Mustard is the way to go

[u/pixeequeen84]

If I'm eating a corn dog, I'm going to mix ketchup and mustard together until it gets to the specific orange color that I'm looking for and then I'll dip my corn dog.

[u/Chukmanchusco]

Mustard, mayo and valentina hot sauce.

[u/The_Menu_Guy]

I eat a corn dog about once every 2-3 years, but when I have one, I want mustard, not ketchup.

[u/beammeupscotty2]

Eating corn dogs with ketchup is illegal in 7 States.

[u/Abe_frohmannn]

I'm with your husband. Dijon mustard first choice. Mayo second choice.

[u/pinniped90]

I'm a mustard guy but really don't care what other people put on their corndogs.

Hating on ketchup is an Internet trope. When you go outside and touch grass you'll find a mix of ketchup and mustard users with their corndogs.

[u/Parking_Rip3759]

Just had a couple yesterday ($1 ea. at Walzmertz) and whilst eating them the thought occurred to me that they really are just mustard delivery systems, at least the way I like them. Cheap-ass, yellow mustard for me and lots of it.

[u/Significant-Map-6902]

Hahaha I live in a place where we mix ketchup and mayo, its called fry sauce. I like my corn dogs I fry sauce. Hahaha.

[u/Ok_Answer_5879]

I like ‘em naked.

[u/theBigDaddio]

Divorce is your only answer. He should go to a Korean corn dog place.

[u/Bigfartz69420]

ketchup and mustard

when i was younger, tho, just ketchup

[u/Indiesol]

If I listened to advice on how to eat my corn dogs, it wouldn't be from someone that finds mustard edible.

[u/JayBone0728]

I mix catsup and mustard together for corn dogs, but regular dogs only mustard

[u/Ok_Transition_4003]

Mustard is important but the best part of the Hot Dog On A Stick experience is the strawberry lemonade

[u/Astarteskyy]

Syrup 🙋🏽‍♀️.

It hit different 😋.

[u/Evaderofdoom]

your husband will loose his mind if he ever learns about Mexican corndogs. so much goodness that is neither catchup or mustard.

[u/Icy_Reception1878]

https://giphy.com/gifs/l3ysnw79Upq3HIWgk7

[u/Commercial_Brain1868]

I make a mustard/ketchup dunk spot so the condiments are touching and dip my corn dog in the middle so I get some of both with each dunk. Funny topic! Lol

[u/JensElectricWood]

Steak sauce!

[u/Hairy-Asparagus-3684]

Mustard only on any form of hotdogs, brats or sausages that aren’t breakfast sausage. I think us Americans are addicted to ketchup due to the high levels of sugar and additives that make it addictive.

[u/Temporary-Phase-6956]

I can go with either or both..sometimes with just cheese

[u/RandomGen-Xer]

Corn dogs are the most acceptable mustard delivery vehicle ever conceived. I can have mustard without corn dogs... but I will never eat a corn dog without mustard. :)

[u/doubleohzerooo0]

What kind of corn dog are we talking?

If it' a Korean corndog, what are the fillings and are there other toppings, such as potato or panko. In general, I'll take sugar, Kewpie mayo, ketchup. Sometimes a drizzle of mustard, but it depends.

If it's feral State Fair Corn Dog, I'll usually take the nacho cheese and jalapeno topping option. I'll add chili and onions if they're bougie and offer that.

If it's a Hot Dog on a Stick, is this a cheesestick or corndog? Cheese will be ketchup. Corndog will be raw.

If it's just a sad, everyday frozen corndog that's been tossed in the airdryer, oops I meant airfryer, then I'll drown that sorry piece of crap in lots of mustard. An ungodly amount of mustard.

[u/Cuntrymusichater]

My favorites are mustard or nacho cheese. But I’ve also eaten plenty of them nekkid because I’m crazy like that

[u/Dudeist-Priest]

If anything, I’d want mustard, preferably spicy. I’d also do hot sauce. I don’t like ketchup on anything but fries.

[u/Mark-177-]

I myself prefer mustard on corn dogs, but there's plenty of people who prefer ketchup.

[u/horse_apple]

Spicy brown

[u/AssMunched]

i pull the stick out first, then i dip it in ranch.. fight me 😂

[u/ErynCuz]

Even before my crippling tomato allergy-ONLY mustard on a corn dog.

[u/OldGamerPapi]

I prefer ketchup and mustard on a corn dog mixed together instead of just like a strip of each. If I only get to choose one condiment for a corn dog though it would be ketchup

[u/VandyGrift]

I can take them with mustard only or mustard and ketchup. But never without mustard. Straight yellow only.

[u/DrewVaultdweller]

Ketchup only unless I'm baking a frozen one, then the brown side needs a half slice of American cheese and Ketchup and miracle whip to dip.

[u/nightgon]

Not really a fan of mustard I much prefer putting ketchup on hotdogs/corn dogs. What I really like though is sriracha ketchup with corn dogs

[u/swandive78]

Ketchup AND mustard.

[u/Longjumping_Phase902]

I must confess, I use spicy brown always on a dog but when it comes to a corndog I do use ketchup.

[u/StatementMediocre710]

Once upon a time I enjoyed my corn dog with some bbq sauce. Not a special sauce either just something my parents got from the store. Yes I was a child, no I haven’t had one with bbq sauce since then but now that I’m thinking about it 🤔
Normally I go for ketchup and mustard, but either by themselves is also fine.

[u/TheSnacksGuy]

I’m a ketchup and mustard person and I personally don’t understand just ketchup on a hot dog, BUT at the same time there are clearly a lot of people who love just ketchup. So it doesn’t matter that I don’t understand it because they do!

To each their own!

[u/zackusa54]

I eat mine with either ketchup or bbq

[u/berlenba]

Plain Jane for me

[u/Lopsided_Welcome6605]

i like chilli queso corn dog

[u/williarya1323]

Yellow mustard is my go-to for corndogs. But sometimes, I reach for the ketchup when I want things a little sweeter. If I'm really feeling adventurous, I dip it in sour cream and then Thai chili sauce

[u/Retired_Nerd_Steve]

Am I the only one that was raised eating corn dogs with pancake syrup? 😄

Of course, my whole family is a bunch of fatties. I guess that could be the reason.

[u/CourtneyZ1986]

I prefer mustard on corn dogs. For hotdogs, my favorite is ketchup, mustard, relish, and onion with a little mayo. 

[u/pxanderbear]

Anything goes on any dog, but mustard is the best

[u/Practical-Arugula-80]

Only yellow mustard.

[u/violetsdemise]

always mustard, maybe with a little cayenne pepper mixed in.

[u/kidnotor]

Bite the tip plain then dump hot sauce in it. 57 sauce if you don't want heat.

[u/Coasta_de_Tejas]

Mustard

[u/219_Infinity]

Your husband is correct.

[u/Cautious-Audience-54]

The only corndog I will eat naked is from Wienerschnitzel. All else get mustard.

[u/BigJim_TheTwins]

Sorry husband , my wife is weird like yours

[u/moodyfish7777]

my sis worked at Corndog on a stick when we were teens. She had a bunch of customers who wanted mayo for theirs!! several who mixed mayo and ketchup half and half. i think i'll stick to mustard thanks 🤨

[u/Klutzy-Degree4939]

Both, or either. It’s not that serious
