Savage gave a “Ketchup: The Condiment of Controversy” talk at the Chicago Hot Dog Festival last summer. For Savage, you’re not a real Chicagoan if you put the tomato-based condiment on your dog. It’s an identity thing. That’s not the way his people do it. Vienna dog vice president Bob Schwartz even wrote a book about it: “ Never Put Ketchup on a Hot Dog,” about Chicago’s hot dog stands. When you push people past their outrage and spouting of the 11th commandment — Thou Shalt Not Put Ketchup on a Hot Dog — and make them give a good reason, it always comes back to sugar.
