I don't know that Northwestern works... First, even when they're good, nobody cares. Due to Chicago being the magnet city of Big Ten country, they also find themselves being the team that plays 12 "away" games every season because the visiting fans are such a high proportion of their ticket sales. And because they're a small nerdy school, I'm not sure their tailgate game is all that impressive...

I could see Iowa fitting into the "good but not that good" category though. That's a good one.
It is when Badger fans are there. :)

I bet that you can get a pretty mean hot dog at a Northwestern tailgate.

I've mentioned before how "nice" it might be to be a fan of "Kansas State".  You are occasionally decent, 8-5 or 9-4, play in a semimiddlin' bowl game and are thrilled to be there, you tailgate and party etc. and have fun and if they lose, meh.

They also had a really nice coach for a while.  If you  had this philosophy and could somehow choose, who would you pick?  Stanford could be an option.  Teams like South Carolina have too rabid fans with expectations.  Miami is boring.  Ole Miss would be good, trust me.

Indiana would be a nice pick, the town is nice.  Washington?  Might be too occasionally good.
The Kansas State fans that Fearless and I know from another site long ago, got their hopes pegged quite high in the 90s, and now refer to pretty much every season as "a bitterly disappointing kick in the nuts."

So, I'm not sure KSU fits the bill.

Maybe someone with success much further in the past like... Minnesota?

(no offense GR!)

Mustard's Last Stand is right across the way from Dyche Stadium, assuming it made it through COVID.

Has anyone ever attempted to put Chicago hot dog toppings on a Chicago style pizza?

Can you order the Chicago dog without the tomato wedges? Or would that be viewed as some sort of a major diss?

Nope. Would never do that.

One thing I do all the time, however, is put the Chicago Italian Beef ingredients on a NY thin crust pizza.

That is a killer pizza.

Yes. Not all Chicago dogs have tomato (or pickle or celery salt).

What defines a Chicago dog is the simmered Vienna sausage, yellow mustard, neon green relish, onions and sport peppers, on a steamed bun. AND NO KETCHUP.

The best can be found here.

I like ketchup on fries.  Pretty much nothing else though.

Yeah I knew that ketchup would get you blacklisted/shot, which is why I asked. 

I don't like ketchup on a dog either, but if I had to pick between that and an actual slimly tomato... I'm choking it down with ketchup. 

Is it impossible to get a proper Chicago dog outside of Chicago, like it is with the Chicago pizza?

Ski might say that, but WC4E is a bitter, bitter man. :)

I wonder what KSL has to say about it, ever talk to her these days?
