Chicago Style Hot Dog
芝加哥热狗

Hot dogs are American's favorite fun food. In America, sports and hot dogs go together like cookies and milk. People usually eat hot dogs while watching sports, which is an American tradition with a long history. Although hot dogs are sold everywhere in the U.S., Chicago style hot dog is incredibly special and world-famous.
热狗是美国人特别喜爱的休闲食品。在美国，体育运动和热狗总是被联系在一起，就像曲奇饼干和牛奶一样密不可分。人们通常一边观看体育运动一边吃热狗，这早已成为美国的一大传统。虽然美国各地均有热狗出售，但芝加哥热狗却独具特色，而且在全世界都享有盛誉。

As a famous specialty of the city of Chicago, Illinois, “Chicago Style” hot dog history began with street cart hot dog vendors during the hard times of the Great Depression. The vendors nestle a Vienna Beef hot dog in a steamed poppy seed bun, and cover it with a wonderful combination of toppings: yellow mustard, chopped white onions, bright green sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices or wedges, pickled sport peppers and a dash of celery salt. The complete assembly of a Chicago hot dog is said to be “dragged through the garden” due to the many toppings.
芝加哥热狗是美国伊利诺伊州芝加哥市的一大特色美食，诞生于经济大萧条时期的街边小摊的手推车。摊主将一根“维也纳牛肉店”的热狗肠夹在蒸熟的罂粟籽面包里，上面铺满口味绝佳的混合酱料：黄芥末、碎洋葱、翠绿鲜甜的腌制泡菜、酸黄瓜、片状或块状的番茄、腌胡椒和少许香芹盐。制作完成后的芝加哥热狗由于酱料众多被戏称为“从花园中拖过”。

Among a large number of hot dog shops in Chicago, you may order a hot dog “with everything” (including mustard, relish, chopped onions, sliced tomatoes, and sport peppers). There are also some popular hot dog stands that serve a simpler version: a steamed natural-casing dog with only mustard, onions, plain relish and sport peppers, wrapped up with hand-cut French fries. Many vendors offer a Chicago-style dog with cheese sauce, known as a cheese-dog.
在芝加哥有数不清的热狗店，你可以点一份“全料”热狗，里面有芥末、开胃菜、碎洋葱、番茄片和腌胡椒等。还有一些比较受欢迎的热狗摊出售“简单版”热狗：仅在一根蒸熟的天然香肠上加芥末、洋葱、普通调料和胡椒，外面裹上手切的薯片。许多商家也给芝加哥热狗加上芝士酱，做成芝士热狗。
