If they didn't put those preservatives in there, the stuff would turn green.

Here is my favorite relish recipe. It is most likely too expensive for serving on a cart. I also know it is not Chicago Relish. I like some heat and alot of people do. It would be considered just above medium. I took alot of the Chicago Dog ingredients. I think it is an excellent Relish.

1 entire large cucumber skinned, seeded and diced fine
7 jarred hot cherry peppers diced fine
5 Vlasic Whole Refrigerator Kosher Dills diced fine
3 medium jalapeno peppers diced fine (seeds and ribs removed)
1 medium onion diced fine
3/4 teaspoon celery salt
3 tablespoons juice from sport pepper jar
2 tablespoons juice from pickles
2 tablespoons juice from cherry peppers

Then I mixed it up. It might sound a little wet but the fresh cucumber and onion absorbed most of it and kept it from turning brown. All products were refrigerated prior. Including the fresh Cucumber and Onion. I think relish should be cold instead of room temp....Russ

My favorite hot dogs come from the Chicago Area. They use a particular relish that is bright green and is not available in Knoxville, TN. What and where can I obtain that relish?

Just add a little green food coloring to your existing relish. It doesn't effect the taste and it looks just like the expensive stuff.

Denny-Boy, green food coloring is not used in Vienna Beef neon green relish. It's Blue No.1. There's only one authentic neon green green relish and it's made by Chipico (Chicago Pickle Company). Chipico is part of the Vienna Beef Company with two pickle plants. One plant is in California and the other in Florida.

I Love Niro's Gyros; they truly do have the best relish. There's a Niro's Gyros that just opened up in the UT Campus Area in Knoxville, Tn and their food is great and the prices are awesome. It's a must check out :)

Quite possibly, 6star. To me it just looked like tiny pieces of cut up pickle with something to make it unsweet. I really have no experience with relish. The recipe you mentioned sounded interesting.

cp, is it possible it was dill relish? I am not a fan of sweet relish, but I love dill relish. In fact, I make a pea salad with canned peas, shredded cheddar (or finely-cubed American singles) and dill relish (no salad dressing of any kind).

I was in Chattanooga this week and stopped at a small place called Griffin's Foot Longs, just off Rt 153 at Shallowford Road. That's all they served; foot long dogs and italian sausages. They steam the buns and dogs. My dog was a red color, and since I am not a relish fan, I got relish on the side. I don't know what to compare it with since I've not had relish in years, but it was mighty good and tasty, not sweet.

Western Beef Supermarket (403A West 14 Street, New York, NY 10014, Corner of 9th Avenue) sells the Emerald Reliah. I'm still working up the nerve to try it.

I went looking for relish at the local supermarkets here in Sacramento CA. Most are some kind of dill pickle relish with and without spices. Some have onions and peppers added. Then there's some kind of yellow mustard/relish mixture. I was disappointed. You'd think that this would be a good market for some national or regional supplier but it's kind of a hot-dog wasteland out here compared to the products that are available to you folks in Jersey and Chicago.

From what I understand, had something to do with the martians back in the '50s and something about nuclear waste from their spaceship... A few vendors in Chicago served the Green folk some dogs and they paid them with the nuclear waste... From what I can guess is they took their pay and placed it too close to the relish...

One of my clients works for one of the major hot dog companies in MI, and I was dropping something off for him, and his office is connected to the factory, and we took a quick tour around. He asked me if I wanted to see hot dogs being made. I asked him if I wanted to see hot dogs being made. He laughed. We didn't go look.

Well they aren't called Hot Beefs or Hot Porks for a reason...

Just found this site desperately seeking the emerald green relish of fame.

Well, I found this site who purports to sell it:
http://www.hometownfavorites.com/shop/candy_cat_js.asp?abc=1&char=B&id=535

$1.60 for a 10 oz jar.

Also, for those of you who haven't tried it, the other poster is spot on: Weber's Mustard from NY is awesome mustard.

Cheers!

I am amazed that the Emerald Green Hot Dog Relish is not available more places.

In my opinion, a hot dog is not complete without it and it ain't available here in the south.

I tried to bribe a hot dog stand worker in O'Hare to sell me a container for a $10.00 tip. No go.

That is the way the mop flops.

I just picked up a 10oz jar of B & G emerald relish at my local Shop Rite Supermarket here in South Jersey. It cost $1.69. Tried it for the 1st time in potato salad and fell in love with it! Also, I did a search on Google.com and came up with several mail order companies that sold the product. Hope this helps.

There is a place here in Phoenix that serve's authentic Chicago style hotdogs just as Flukys does. It is called Niro's Gyros and it is located at 48th st. and Elliot, easily accessible from I-10. They also serve a Maxwell St. Polish, which is outstanding (and just as I remember it from school!). The hotdog has the authentic bright green sweet relish and hot serrano sport peppers, along with the traditional poppy seed bun. Truly great!

I spent alot of my years in western New York state. WNY has Sahlen hot dogs and Webers relish & mustard. Charcoal broiled is the established method of cooking. Living in Indianapolis now (no good dogs here) lets me get to Chicago and I've tried the Chicago dog and enjoy it just as much as the WNY weiner. I don't believe there is a best but just alot of great dogs and styles of serving them. The Webers picallili is sweet/hot and just the right compliment to the charcoal dog. It can be ordered over the internet thru Webers.

My favorite relish is a homemade zucchini relish. We've been making it as long as I can remember and it's my relish of choice. It has zucchini, which is a little softer than the cucumbers in most relishes, bell peppers, onions and spices. A bit less sweet/tart than the cucumber based relishes.
