Rach shows you how to make Chicago-style hot dogs piled high with onion, tomato, pickles + sport peppers. 

For these dogs, Rach also likes to use Chicago-style relish, which is electric green, but dill pickle relish is delicious as well.

For the ultimate Memorial Day menu, serve these with Rach's Nacho Dogs, Swiss Cheese Burgers With Horseradish-Ranch Sauce, Big Smack Burgers With Special Sauce, Skillet Barbecue Beans AND John's Boozy Coffee Egg Cream Cocktail.
